I’ve scoured the market and selected the best extra large suitcase across a variety of budgets. You’ll find everything for soft and hard shells, expandable options and lifetime warranties. Extra large suitcases doesn’t necessarily mean heavy either. I found extra large suitcases weighing under 3kg. There are several durable top choices from well known brands like Samsonite, July and Antler to affordable options rated 4.5+ stars on Amazon for under £100.

What size luggage is extra large?

An extra large luggage size is considered to be around +80cm or +120L which is suitable for a 2-3 week holiday.

Best lightweight extra large suitcases under £100

I’ve compiled a list of the best rated extra large suitcases on Amazon under £100. All have an ABS hard shell which means they are lightweight. Several even come with at least a year’s warranty should anything break.

Best extra large suitcases under £300

If you’re looking for a stronger material than ABS, I recommend polycarbonate or polypropylene. These types of materials increase the cost of suitcases and is slightly heavier than ABS, but if you’re looking to invest in checked luggage that will last, it’s worth it.
