Suitcase Size Guide

Visual Guide
More Info

One of the most common questions we are asked is what is the best size suitcase for me? Below you'll find information that answers a few common questions and will help you make the right decision.

What's included in the advertised dimensions of the suitcase?

The vast majority of dimensions listed on Go Places are the external dimensions of a suitcase which includes the wheels and the carry handles. The dimensions do not included the telescopic trolley handle when it has been extended. The height dimensions are usually taken from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the top carry handle and the width dimensions include the side handle. Some cases will have dimensions listed that exclude the wheels and this is noted on the Go Places website.

Generally, the wheels add 5-6 centimetres to the size of the case.

When you are replacing an old case where the wheels are integrated into the case you should remember that most new cases, with the exception of 2-wheel cabin cases, will have less packing capacity because the wheels will generally be attached to the bottom of the case for easy manoeuvering.

What case is suitable for my holiday?

This answer to this question depends on how long your holiday is, where you are travelling at what time of year and whether you are a light or heavy packer. We generally advise the following:

Travel Time	Size of case
1-2 days	Cabin case
2 - 7 days	69-71cm
7-10 days	69cm for light packers, 75cm for heavy packers
Up to 14 days	75cm for light packers, 81cm for heavy packers
Over 14 days	81cm or more

Do the same size suitcases have the same capacity?
Not all suitcases that have the same dimensions have the same capacity. This is generally down to the material that is being used and the internal compartments, so it is always worth checking the capacity of a case.

How much can I fit into a suitcase?

As a guide, you'll be able to fit the following items into cases with these capacities:

35-40 Litres:
4 Shirts
1 Toiletry bags
2 Pairs of shoes
2 Trousers
1 Coats

70-80 Litres:
14 Shirts
2 Toiletry bags

Please note: warranties cover defects in materials and do not cover airline damage, misuse or neglect.

Suitcase manufacturers extensively test their items so that they are fit for purpose and their warranties cover this. This means that if a lock, zip, wheels or trolley handles develop a fault then these are covered by manufacturer warranties. These warranties do not cover extreme damage or misuse, or damage caused by airlines such as cracked or ripped cases. Go Places recommends that if you travel by air, then you check your suitcase for cracks or rips before leaving the airport. If you do find cracks or rips then make a claim with the airline before leaving the airport.

Lifetime Warranty

General Suitcase & Luggage Warranty Information

General Warranty Information

Each week we receive calls and emails asking us what is covered by suitcase warranties. Nearly all suitcase manufacturers offer a limited warranty and we will explain what is and isn't covered in 2 sections below: Suitcase Components and Suitcase Shells. This article is meant as general guidance and manufacturers will inspect the case and reserve the right to reject claims if they feel the damage has not been caused in ‘general wear and tear’.

Suitcase Components

Suitcases manufacturers rigorously their products to meet the needs of modern travellers, but occasionally a component can break such as a zip, a handle, telescopic trolley handle, integrated lock or wheels. In these instances the manufacturer will inspect the product during the warranty period and either fix or replace the product.

Suitcase Shells

An important aspect of warranties that all travellers should be aware of, especially air travellers, is the suitcase shell (both hard-sided or soft-sided). Most warranties do not cover damage to the shell of a suitcase unless it is caused by a manufacturing defect. Manufacturers put their cases through stringent tests, but if a case is subjected to extreme stress during travel, such as coming in contact against a sharp object at force, then cracks and rips can occur. We receive calls from customers in this situation who are unaware of warranty conditions, so we recommend the following steps:

Check your suitcase when you collect it from the baggage carousel or before you leave the airport.
If you discover that your hard-sided suitcase is cracked or your soft-sided suitcase ripped whilst in the care of the airline, then you should go to the airline desk and make a claim for the damage by filling out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).
You should also contact the manufacturer of the suitcase and ask them to perform an inspection to find out if the damage has occurred from a manufacturing defect. This means you are covered if the airline accepts responsibility for the damage or if the manufacturer finds a manufacturing defect.

There are some manufacturers who offer guarantees that include damage caused by airlines, for example Briggs & Riley and certain products by Victorinox.

Your Go Places order confirmation email acts as your proof of purchase for warranty claims.

2 Wheels

Pros and Cons of 2-Wheel and 4-Wheel Suitcases

Pros and Cons of 2-Wheel and 4-Wheel Suitcases

We get many enquiries about whether customers should purchase a 2-wheel or 4-wheel item of luggage. There are positives and negatives for both options, so here are common considerations and advantages to help you find the most suitable case for your needs:

2-Wheel

Before the introduction of 2-wheel suitcases you had to carry your luggage, so lets raise a glass to celebrate this invention! While 4-wheel cases have become more popular over recent years, 2-wheelers are still a great option especially for a cabin case.

More packing space: the design of 2-wheel suitcases means that the wheels are set into bottom of the case. As a result, 2-wheel suitcases sit lower to the floor and the wheels don't protrude from the bottom of the case like a 4-wheel. This gives a 2-wheel suitcase greater capacity, which can be a major consideration for cabin cases.
Less likely to snap off: because the 2- wheels are set into the case you won't find baggage handlers using the wheels as handles when they are getting your bag on of off the aircraft.

You can view our range of 2-wheel cabin cases and suitcases here.

4-Wheel

While you don't get the same capacity as a 2-wheel suitcase, 4-wheel cases are increasingly popular.

Maneuverability: 4-wheel suitcases offer greater maneuverability when travelling with your case because the wheels rotate 360 degrees. They can travel along side you or be pulled on 2-wheels behind you. 4-wheel cabin cases can also fit easily down the aisle on an aircraft by pushing it side-on.
Easy to replace: it has been known that wheels don't arrive at the airport carousel after baggage handlers have used them as handles to pick up your case. While it is still rare for wheels to come off suitcases, this can happen. Fortunately, all the brands that Go Places sells have easily replaced wheels, so in the unlikely event of a wheel coming off your suitcase this does have a simple fix.

You can view our range of 4-wheel cabin cases and suitcases here.

Each customer has different needs; some might require easy maneuverability while others need to squeeze those extra few litres of capacity for their weekend city break cabin case. Whatever you need Go Places will have an option for you and if you need any advice, then please give us a call on 01403 713332 or use our contact form here.
