Title: What size suitcase
Post by: Jules on April 12, 2009, 11:49:18 PM
What size suitcase do you tend to take? I am looking at buying new ones this year and just wondered what others found to be the best size. I think our largest one is 29" or 30" which we usaully get about 26 kilos in and our smallest one is only 25" which we usaually get about 15 kilos in. I have seen some that are 27" and hope that we may get 20 kilos in each if I bought 2 for us. :)

Would love to know maximum dimensions that count as hand luggage. Realise no liquids or gels could be carried but no arrivals hall or wait for coach would be great.

Hand luggage dimensions are usually on the various airline dimensions. There is also a maximum weight on hand luggage.

For 2 weeks we use 26" and 20" for 1 week. Usually manage 17kilo for 2 weeks and 12 for 1 week. Motto do everything to excess bar your luggage.  ???

Good discussion thread!!
Think carefully about buying a new case - choose carefully!!
Do you know that the average case around 27" which we use for up to 25Kilo, average 20-23Kilo,
when EMPTY - weigh in at around 4.4 Kilos before you start to pack!!! (Samsonite weigh in at 5.5 kilo).

We bought new cases from Debenhams last year, I bought one in store and one online, and right now they are on sale price!!
We bought the extra-lightweight case that weighs in at around 3 1/2 Kilos, saving a kilo!!
We can recommend them as being well made and very strong - give it some thought!!
the make is TRIPP. 26 1/2" or 67cm.

I have just bought two new tripp cases (the biggest) and they are certainly a lot lighter.

Bought them on line and had them delivered to work.  Brill

we also have the tripp cases have had them for the last three holidays very strong and lightweight fab to pull with the handle had the large.but next size down would have been fine as they are deeper than other cases and you cant get away with the  extra weight anymore

After suffering so much damage to cases from frequent flying (braggart) we now go for the cheap and cheerful option. We have had expensive ones but after 2 years use they look decidedly grotty. we now buy in Matalan sale and chuck after about 10 flights.

Measured our two today and they are 30" and 26" . The 26" one isn't that deep (only about 7") so may buy 2 26" ones that are deeper than this and that will do us.( As long as Roy doesn't think he's packing for a month again lol!!!) ;)

have just been to portugal for a week and bought a new bag thing with wheels on from tkmax before i went. it was about 30 quid and holds lots but is very light. (2.3 kilo) it was brilliant! not sure how durable it is going to work out but thought i'd give it a try as i was aware of weight of my cases...

i take 2 pairs of fly flot sandles so comfey can walk for miles. 1 pair for nights and 2 pairs of flip flops for round the pool would take more if weight allowance was not so low

Miniature Schnauzer - see the piccy of a puppy that ran towards me - ears lifted by the windspeed!!
These dogs grow a beard by 6 months old, (bit like Sue & Jules before the treatment!!).
All six puppies born ok, (4 girls - 2 boys), mum well - great mother in fact.
We just helped out as midwives, to prevent umbilical hernia's etc, make sure the airway is clear and try to revive
any non-breathers. As it happened - all was well. We hope to have sold the litter by the time we depart on holiday.
We may posibly keep one.
However, we have a friend on standby to care for any pups that are still here.
We are looking after one of her puppies (8 weeks old) while she is away on a cunard cruise, reciprical agreement!!
I always feel sad to see the Corfu Strays, knowing the likelyhood of their next winter!!

That's an under estimate. 1 pair for day , 1 pair for night X 14 days = 28 pairs...... 1 pair for outbound travel and 1 for inbound journey = 30... Now this is where you went wrong...... Have you ever known a woman to make up her mind? .... Add in 4 probables 3 maybes and 3 yes I might need thems and that = 40........... probably a lot closer to the mark!

Of course Professor Don, Allow me: Attention Class!!
Scientists have proved for many years that as cases wear, too many stilletto heels poking against the inner case lining, cause a reaction
which produces a type of exterior [tech-term] "case-ual" Fluffing. This then attracts sweat globuals from the shoe lining, also from the under-arm and combined with any anal secretions picked up from rubbing against seating in passing or from being sat on while in the queue,
while [tech-term] "gagging" for the toilet from that last meal of Gyros.

This forms as a sticky substance over the case exterior, know as creeping caligraphic bonding!
Now add the final element of heat from that last day in a hot airport and you have active adhesion in it's crudest form.
Even a sniffer dog will steer clear as the Sticky facor increases until of super-glue proportions.
This is why cases go astray and some owners stick to their old cases!!
I hope that explains it fully!!

Just in case she is stuck we could start a "Free the Jules 1 campaign!" We could always echo the Blair/Deirdre fiasco! No Brown/Julie fiasco somehow doesn't ring true!

Jules................... Just back-tracking through the posts on this thread and am intrigued............ You say you are sticking to your old cases! ................. Isn't that natures way of saying they need replacing! It would be a bit embarrassing if they stuck to the carousel ! Please explain this phenomenon Tonyco1?
Of course Professor Don, Allow me: Attention Class!!
Scientists have proved for many years that as cases wear, too many stilletto heels poking against the inner case lining, cause a reaction
which produces a type of exterior [tech-term] "case-ual" Fluffing. This then attracts sweat globuals from the shoe lining, also from the under-arm and combined with any anal secretions picked up from rubbing against seating in passing or from being sat on while in the queue,
while [tech-term] "gagging" for the toilet from that last meal of Gyros.

This forms as a sticky substance over the case exterior, know as creeping caligraphic bonding!
Now add the final element of heat from that last day in a hot airport and you have active adhesion in it's crudest form.
Even a sniffer dog will steer clear as the Sticky facor increases until of super-glue proportions.
This is why cases go astray and some owners stick to their old cases!!
I hope that explains it fully!!

Don't think I'll sleep for laughing at that. Cheered me up no end!
Likewise with some of your quotes!!! The site has to have a little light relief as well as help and Q&A's.
But - in Jules case (pardon the pun), I think she's stuck!!
Thought you'd swallowed a dictionary then Tony

Just in case she is stuck we could start a "Free the Jules 1 campaign!" We could always echo the Blair/Deirdre fiasco! No Brown/Julie fiasco somehow doesn't ring true!
Yes - Jules is in for a sticky time - dragging that old suitcase through the airport, stuck tight to her derrière, bonded by you know what! - - - - Jules - time to buy new!!

Think she must be a Yorkshire lass. Anyone else would buy new cases. Strange folk are Yorkshire folk! Who else would batter puddings?
Not a Yorkshire Lass but my paternal grandfather was a Yorkshire man. Me I'm from good old Nottinghamshire. ;)
Ah!! I see - - - You mean - I am "Nott" going to buy a new case.
I am "Nott" from Yorkshire - - - I am "Nott" younger than Tony!! I am a "Nott-y" Girl!!!
And that is the origin of the phrase "Naughty Girl!" Cheers Tony!

Decided to buy 2 new cases and went for 2 at 27" . We will definitely get all we need in these and hopefully will enable us not to have any of them overweight as well. On our tickets maximum weight is now 23 kilos when it used to be 32 kilos

Can anyone tell me what size case classifies as hand luggage?
Title: Re: What size suitcase
Post by: Jules on August 09, 2009, 04:20:26 PM
Just got this off Thomsons website

Baggage Policy for Flight-Only Customers
For customers travelling after 1st May 2009
All flight-only customers are entitled to a free hand luggage allowance of up to 5kg. Customers wishing to check in luggage may do so for a small charge by selecting the option whilst making a booking. A maximum of 5 items of luggage can be pre-booked by each passenger. Prices start from £6.50/€10,00/$16.00 per item per journey, and vary by route.

Customers choosing to pre-book their luggage allowance in advance on this website can save up to 50% when compared to prices at the airport or when booked via the call centre.

Each passenger who has opted to pay for check in luggage has a total allowance of 20kg per person, irrespective of the number of bags checked in. Please note that each item may not exceed 20kg without excess baggage charges being levied. Any single item of checked-in luggage must not exceed 23kg, as this exceeds the recommended guidelines for airport baggage handlers to lift.

Each passenger may also take up to 5kg of hand luggage on board. Any extra weight required for hold baggage can be pre-booked on Thomson.co.uk/flights.com during the booking process at up to 50% discount when compared to airport prices.

Customers choosing to book a Premium Seat (on selected flights) will enjoy an inclusive check in baggage allowance. Premium seats include a total of 30kg baggage allowance (a maximum of 23kg can be checked in to the hold and up to 7kg can be taken on board).

Please also see our Standard Baggage Conditions below.


Baggage Policy for customers traveling as part of an Inclusive Tour
Customers traveling with Thomson Airways as part of an inclusive holiday should refer to the baggage allowance stipulated by their Tour Operator, which is normally shown in the brochure, or on the ticket. Baggage allowances vary depending on the holiday product purchased and the Tour Operator from who the holiday product has been purchased.

Customers should consult their travel documentation closely before traveling.

Please also see our Standard Baggage Conditions below.


Standard Baggage Conditions
Any baggage may only be accepted if it is packed and secured in suitcases or similar containers and capable of withstanding reasonable handling.

Any passenger presenting baggage that is insecurely or insufficiently packed or is already damaged must sign a disclaimer waiving their right to any subsequent claim.

Each customer may take one item of hand baggage weighing no more than the limits shown above (maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm). Other bags such as handbags, laptop bags or laptop computers must be carried within the single item of cabin baggage. It is recommended that video cameras, mobile telephones and other valuable items and medication should be carried as hand luggage. You must be able to lift this yourself into overhead storage compartments or the bag must fit under the seat in front of you.

Customers will only be able to carry Hypodermic Syringes in their hand luggage if supporting an approved "Diabetic Doctors letter". Customers carrying such items must also advise check-in staff.

If your total baggage weight exceeds the limit detailed on your booking confirmation, excess hold baggage will be accepted for carriage subject to the conditions of acceptance of excess baggage, and will be charged at the current excess baggage charge (per kg) each way. This rate will vary by destination. Extra weight can be purchased in advance on Thomson.co.uk/flights.com at a discount during the flight booking process, or via the call centre.


Can I combine my baggage allowance with someone else?
Yes, we allow pooling of the hold baggage allowance for passengers travelling together.

Can anyone tell me what size case classifies as hand luggage?
Size was it Don? -  Seems each Airline has slight differences - two examples below:

From Easy Jet Site =
Baggage Allowances Each passenger is permitted
    * one standard piece of hand baggage to maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm

From the BAA Heathrow site: =
Hand baggage restrictions
If your airline allows it, you may take more than one item of hand baggage through security control.
Cabin baggage must be no larger than:

• 56cm (22in) tall
• 45cm (17.7in) wide
• 25cm (10in) deep.

However, please check with your airline – some operate further limits on the number and size of bags.
All items carried will be X-ray screened.

    * Laptop computers and large electrical items must be removed from baggage and placed in trays separately.
    * Put all small items like keys, coins, mobile phones into your coat or hand baggage and place these in a tray.
    * Place your hand baggage in the tray.
    * If you have liquids in containers of 100ml or less, put them into a clear resealable bag and place them alongside other items in your tray.
    * Pushchairs and walking aids will be X-ray screened.
    * Wheelchairs will be thoroughly searched.

To save time, we advise you to place only valuables and items you need for the flight into your hand baggage.
Travelling with liquids – 100ml rule
Only limited quantities of liquids may be carried through security control in hand baggage. This includes bottled drinks, suntan lotion, fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries.
The following restrictions apply to all liquids, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols taken through security control:
• Liquid items may only be carried in containers holding up to 100ml.
• They must be carried separately in a single transparent, resealable plastic bag.
• The bag must be no larger than 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) and all items must fit inside so that it closes properly.
• At security control the bag must be placed separately on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Liquid items larger than 100ml should be packed in your hold luggage – otherwise they will be confiscated.

Exceptions to the 100ml rule can be made for baby food or milk. However, you should only carry what you need for the flight, and you will be asked to taste at least 50% of the containers at security control.
Exceptions may also be made for medicines. However, you may be asked to taste any liquid medicines, or to provide evidence (such as a doctor's letter) that you need them for your journey.

Well the packing is done in our 2 new 27" suitcases. All packed by my own fair hands and each just weighs in at about 19 kilos. Buying new cases was the right thing to do. One of our old cases was to big at 30" and always weighed about 26 kilos packed and the smaller one at 26" was a bit to small and always weighed about 15 kilos packed.With the new maximum weight at 23 kilos the new cases have proven to be just right for us.
