Concept of suitcase size If you buy a suitcase that is too big, sometimes it is still empty after filling it, and the luggage will bump around inside; if you buy a suitcase that is too small, you cannot fit all your things in it and you have to make painful choices 😓😓 Luggage can be divided into two categories: cabin luggage and checked luggage: •
Cabin luggage: usually a carry-on luggage with a size of less than 20 inches (each side of the piece is capped at 23cm x 36cm x 56cm, or the sum of the length, width and height of one side must not exceed 115cm), which can accompany you on the plane. • Checked luggage: Over 20 inches, measured by weight, cannot be brought on board and can only be checked in, and will be subject to excess weight charges if it exceeds the weight limit set by the airline. Luggage size measurement • 22-inch suitcase: the sum of the length, width and height shall not exceed 125 cm • 24-inch suitcase: the sum of the length,
width and height shall not exceed 135 cm • 28-inch suitcase: the sum of the length, width and height shall not exceed 158 cm • 32-inch suitcase: the sum of the length, width and height shall not exceed 195 cm Luggage capacity measurement Many people do not know how to measure the capacity of a suitcase. In fact, just multiply the length, width and height of the inner frame and divide it by 1000 to get the number of liters of the suitcase! Remember not to measure the size of the suitcase’s outer frame~ Suitcase capacity in liters = length x width x height / 1000 EX:
The inner frame dimensions of a 37-inch suitcase are 56x28x30 cm in length, width and height, so the capacity is approximately 47 liters. How do you know how many inches a suitcase is? Luggage dimensions refer to the diagonal length of the largest area in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm). In Taiwan, suitcase sizes are usually expressed in inches, but because each brand has a different calculation method, even if the suitcases are both 24 inches, the capacity of the suitcases of different brands can vary slightly. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to choose a suitcase brand that has the inner frame size marked. The capacity will be much more accurate, and you will be able to find a suitcase size that suits your needs!
