Leading a well-travelled life can come with a lot of baggage, literally. Frequent air travellers can’t do with a piece or two of luggage, because no two trips are alike. Travel can be for business or leisure and be a long trip or an overnighter.

Several things must be considered when choosing the right luggage, including size, construction material, organizational capabilities, locks, intended function and price. Traditionally, luggage is either hard-sided or soft-sided.

Well-designed luggage costs money, but a good investment will yield returns in the form of hassle-free travel for years. In Sri Lanka luggage options are limited and often of poor quality and outdated styles. Frequent fliers have for years shopped for high quality baggage overseas. Recently the choice available here has increased and we list some options including suitcases, carry-on bags and laptop bags.
