Discover your dream suitcase with Explorer Luggage

Welcome to Explorer Luggage, where your quest for the ideal suitcase or luggage set ends. Situated in the heart of New Zealand, we pride ourselves on offering an array of luggage options to suit every traveller’s style and budget. Whether you’re in the market for something whimsically affordable or elegantly luxurious, our collection is sure to captivate your interest.

What size suitcase is considered a carry-on?

The size of suitcase that is considered a carry-on will depend on your airline. Typically, the carry-on size is measured by adding the suitcase height, width and length together to create a linear measurement. Common carry-on sizes you are bound to see are cases 56cm in height and below.

We have a bunch of carry-on options here at Explorer luggage. Our bestseller, the Luna-Air suitcase, is celebrated for its extensive colour palette and exceptional value. The range is designed to cater to those seeking aesthetic appeal without breaking the bank. For travellers looking for a more upscale option, the Arlo Pro is unmatched. Constructed from premium materials and backed by a lifetime warranty, it stands as a testament to lasting travel luxury.

Carry-On Options Tailored for Convenience and Style

Understanding the varying needs of travellers, we offer several carry-on solutions, each designed to meet the majority of airline restrictions. However, it’s always a wise move to check with your specific airline for their size requirements.

The Arlo Pro Carry-On: This is an ideal choice for frequent flyers who appreciate a sleek and stylish design, perfect for business trips. Available in shades like evergreen, ocean, fog, and classic black, it caters to every taste. The suitcase, standing at a height of 52cm, incorporates recessed wheels, optimizing its compactness for air travel. This design feature not only enhances its portability but also contributes to its stability and durability under the strains of travel. Despite its compact size, it offers a surprisingly spacious interior, boasting a capacity of 31.9 litres.

The Luna-Air Carry-On: Known for its vibrant colours, this carry-on adds a playful yet sophisticated touch to your travel ensemble. With options ranging from a striking pink to a more subdued earthy green, the Luna-Air is designed to make a statement. Measuring 55cm in height, its recessed wheels help maintain its compact form while adhering to most airline size limitations. The interior is impressively roomy, with a 33.6-liter capacity, and the suitcase’s lightweight design makes manoeuvring through airports a breeze with its multi-directional wheels.

How do you measure luggage size?

At Explorer Luggage, we adopt a meticulous approach to measuring our suitcases. We assess the height from the ground to the top of the grab handle and the width at the suitcase's widest point. Additionally, we provide linear measurements, the sum of the depth, width, and height, which is a crucial metric used by airlines to determine if a suitcase meets their size criteria.

How do I choose a suitcase size?

Choosing the right suitcase size is an art that depends on several factors, including the length of your trip and the weather conditions at your destination. For short trips to warmer places, a carry-on should suffice. A medium checked suitcase is often ideal for week-long stays in tropical climates, providing ample space for your clothing and essentials.

However, trips to colder regions might require bulkier clothing like coats and jackets, which necessitate more packing space. In such cases, a large checked suitcase, coupled with a carry-on, might be your best bet. If you find yourself uncertain about the right size for your needs, our team of experts at Explorer Luggage is always on hand to offer guidance and advice.

What size suitcase is best for a 3 week trip?

Planning a three-week getaway? We recommend opting for a combination of a large checked suitcase and a carry-on. Our Carry-On & Large Sets are specially curated to meet the needs of long-haul travellers, ensuring you have all your essentials neatly packed.

What size suitcase do I need for 10 days?

For a 10-day journey, especially to colder destinations, a large checked suitcase along with a carry-on is advisable. This combo offers the flexibility to accommodate both your packed items and any additional purchases you might make during your trip. On the other hand, trips to warmer destinations for the same duration might only require a medium checked suitcase paired with a carry-on, depending on your packing habits and shopping plans.
