What Is Considered Lightweight Luggage?

There isn't a universal standard for what qualifies as lightweight luggage. However, from the author's point of view, here's a simple weight guide:

Cabin luggage (19–20 inches): Below 2.6kg

Medium luggage (24–27 inches): Below 3.5kg

Large luggage (28 inches): Below 4kg

What Makes a Suitcase Lightweight?

A suitcase's weight depends on several factors, including its material, frame, wheels, handles and built-in features.

- Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight and flexible, making it a popular choice for hard-shell luggage.

- Polycarbonate (PC): Known for its combination of flexibility, durability and relatively low weight.

- RPET fabric: Made from recycled plastic materials and commonly used in softside luggage.

How to Choose the Right Lightweight Suitcase

Before choosing the lightest suitcase you can find, consider these three things:

1) Your travel duration: A lightweight cabin suitcase may be enough for a weekend, while longer holidays require more packing capacity.

2)Your baggage allowance: A lighter empty suitcase leaves more of your allowance available for belongings.

3)Your travel needs: Consider the wheels, security features, durability and storage space alongside weight.
