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.
