Sure, it may mean compromising on a few outfits but you&#8217;ll have less to haul along, no baggage reclaim queuing and no pesky checked baggage costs. What&#8217;s not to love? To make sure your new suitcase is suitable, here&#8217;s our essential guide on how to shop for the best carry-on luggage.<\/p>\n<p>Before you begin sizing up your next suitcase you must consider a few factors to be sure you get the right carry-on luggage that supports your travel needs. Hard or soft case? Wheels or straps? There&#8217;s so much to choose from. Hard cases on wheels offer greater protection for fragile items and are more waterproof so suit those travelling with tech and valuables, while a light, durable soft backpack is great for those who&#8217;ll be active and out and about at their destination.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget carry-on luggage size restrictions vary from airline to airline so always check your carrier&#8217;s dimensions beforehand to avoid getting caught out pre-boarding. If you can, try before you buy \u2013 examine internal space, adjust handle height, give it a lift, see if it suits you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bluesmart Carry-On Suitcase &#8211; $449\/\u00a3349.99<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9037\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart-.jpg\" alt=\"Best carry on luggage \" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart-.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart--1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart--330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart--1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart--360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bluesmart-CREDIT-Bluesmart--600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>This is no ordinary piece of luggage, the <a href=\"http:\/\/bluesmart.com\/\">Bluesmart<\/a> is an all-singing, all-dancing suitcase with a built-in location tracker, USB device charger, self-weighing system and compatible with your smartphone.
