Luggage at Abt

If you've booked your next trip, get ready to pack your bags as Abt can provide all of your travel luggage. Our wide selection of styles will accommodate every need. Before exploring all variations of suitcases and bags, it's important to consider different factors. Are you traveling internationally or domestically? Business or pleasure? How easily would you like your bag to maneuver as you move around? Do you have any physical limitations? Is the aesthetic appearance of your luggage at the top of your checklist? Once you've given these questions thought, you're on the road to picking your perfect travel companion from Abt.

Types of Luggage

The two most common types of luggage are carry-on and checked. Carry-on is the most convenient option, as it can typically fit in the overhead compartment of any airplane and is free to travel with. Checked bags, on the other hand, are too large to fit in this compartment and therefore must be stored in the bottom of the plane as you fly. While a carry-on may be ideal for a light packer, you may choose checked luggage instead if you are traveling for a longer period of time and are in need of more clothing, toiletries, etc. The three most common types of carry-on are rolling carry-on suitcases, backpacks and duffel bags, but Abt carries even more options, including satchel bags, crossbodies, messenger bags, totes and briefcases. If you're traveling for a special occasion and have luxury clothing you want to keep in pristine condition, consider investing in a garment bag to keep your outfit safe. To protect your carry-on or checked luggage from liquid damage, stains from makeup and more, grab a toiletry bag to keep your cosmetic items separate. If you're interested in having all of your bags share a certain style, you can also browse our matching collections. Remember before leaving: TSA, as well as every airport, has its own size and liquid guidelines. To make sure your belongings pass all the regulations, review our TSA measuring guide.

Extra Features for Elevated Travel

Along with the many types of luggage sold at Abt, there are just as many additional features. As checked baggage endures a more rough and tumble experience in the cargo container, it may be beneficial to get a suitcase with a hard-sided exterior for ultra durability. Even if your carry-on is constructed with a strong cloth or nylon material, the climate of your destination may call for weather-resistant abilities too. Some checked and carry-on luggage is expandable as well, giving you extra packing space with just the swipe of a zipper. Comfort while traveling is vital, as you must account for how you want to transport your suitcases; some bags come with 2 or 4 wheels, a telescoping handle, a side carrying handle, a top carry handle or a removable shoulder strap. While these are just the basic features, there are plenty of special features you can get as well, depending on the brand. TUMI, for example, offers safety elements like a TSA-approved lock and a tracer. Whether it's a laptop or shoe compartment or a cell phone pocket, the brands sold at Abt have upgraded the travel experience with the unique qualities added to their luggage.
