If you are traveling soon you may be wondering about bringing just a carry on instead of checking your luggage. This is a great idea! It not only saves a lot of time not going to baggage claim, but with many airlines now charging to check your bags, it saves money too. Just make sure that you’re bringing the right carry on luggage. Size The maximum size for any carry on bag or suitcase for most airlines is 45 linear inches, meaning the total measurement (height plus width plus depth) should be under 45”.

When it comes to carry-on luggage, the line between acceptable and unacceptable luggage is very thin. It’s a line that we all toe every time we travel but it would be nice to know exactly what the maximum allowable limit will be. I have seen some luggage make it on the plane as a carry-on that was so big they should have had to buy it a ticket. Obviously they have the little carry-on luggage bin at the airport for reference but this has come to be more of a recommendation than any kind of guideline. So what is the standard size carry-on? Unfortunately the answer is not so easy as to be able to wrap it up in a single sentence but we’ll dissect the question and formulate a consensus.

Here at Altman Luggage we love answering questions about the best luggage for each individual’s travel needs. The question we hear most often is “what materials are best in luggage?” Well, most often people are just asking about the outer material of their suitcase, but there are actually a few different materials that go into making quality luggage.
I took a trip recently that has me questioning my aptitude as a traveler. When I left, I thought that I would be more prepared than anyone has ever been. All my shots were up-to-date, I’d packed for anything the weather could throw at me, and I had my itinerary for the trip all planned out like a choose-your-own-adventure book, accounting for any and all unforeseen circumstances. I got off the plane and rushed through the airport like school was out for summer. I grabbed my luggage from the luggage carousel, hurried outside and my heart sank. I brought a rolling suitcase with one flimsy handle on the top and one on the side. Outside the airport there weren’t any roads – just mud, manure, and gravel. Hardly the place for rolling luggage. “How could I have been so stupid?!” I kept muttering to myself (along with some more colorful…
