Frequently asked questions
- Hard shell or soft shell suitcase?
- Hard shells better protect fragile contents and resist water, while soft shells flex to squeeze into tight spaces and often add external pockets for quick access.
- How many wheels should a suitcase have?
- Four-wheel spinner cases roll upright in any direction and turn easily in queues. Two-wheel cases tilt and pull, coping better with kerbs and uneven pavements.
- Are TSA locks worth having?
- They let airport security inspect a bag without cutting the lock, mainly useful for flights via the United States. For most UK and European trips any sturdy lock suffices.
