Choosing the right carry-on luggage

Carry-on luggage is a piece of the suitcase in specific dimensions that you are allowed to carry to an airplane and can fit in the overhead bin or below the seat.

Why use a carry-on luggage?

More and more people travel with just their carry-on suitcase which is much more cheep and don’t need to pay extra luggage fees. Travellers don’t have to worry about their belongings at all times, since they carry with them at the airplane. It is much easier to pack as well as to unpack and the carry-ons are fantastic and convenient for shorter trips.

Some airline companies require the passengers to fit their suitcases into the measuring device before boarding, that’s why the dimensions of each catty-on are not the same for every trip.

If the carry-on does not meet the measurement requirements then the airline company will require you to gate-check your suitcase and often pay a fee to do so.

The most common carry-on luggage dimensions are 55 x 40 x 20 cm (maximum size). BG Berlin meets perfectly these dimensions and all of our cabin size luggage are lightweight, safe (TSA Lock), durable and have the most amazing designs.

BG Berlin’s carry-on luggage not only are perfect for the size but also for the interior. Inside the BG Berlin suitcases you can pack your personal items super organized with the pockets, divider and cross belts that is offering.

If your concerns are what and how much a carry-on luggage fits, we have some tips that might be helpful for packing and traveling only with a cabin size suitcase!

Traveling with just a carry-on you have to be selective about the type of clothes you chose to bring. Especially if you are traveling to different climates you can pack light by choosing multiple layers that take up less space in your bag than one big jacket or coat. Layers can keep you warm and also can give you more options for outfits!

One of the biggest space-saving tips is the rolling method. Experienced travellers swear by this method and the pack more items into tight spaces. Clothes that are rolled are more compact and save much more space than the traditional way of folding. It might be more time consuming but it does worth the time spending on rolling everything and your clothes will remain wrinkle-free!

Another tip for using a carry-on suitcase for a trip, is to be selective about your footwear and your jackets. Choose only those that are comfortable and suitable for all your kind of adventures. And on transit – choose the bulkiest to wear. That will save much more space than you can imagine!

Keep in mind that, when traveling with a carry-on luggage, airlines have limitations on what items you are allowed to pack!

All the airports around the globe allow travellers to pack only 100 milliliters of liquids or gels. (no more than 3.4 ounces) So never pack a full bottle of shampoo or sunscreen. Scissors, explosives, self-defense sprats or any sharp objects are prohibited and will not pass the security checkpoint.

Finally, a super important tip when using a carry-on luggage is to keep valuable and essential belongings in your carry-on suitcase and not in your checked luggage. Your passport, id, money, credit cards, jewellery, electronics and any other valuables, should be brought to the plane with you in the chance of the airline loses your luggage that was checked in and have your trip destroyed.

 

Tips on Making New Memories While on my First Post-Pandemic Holiday

Since March, there have been strict traveling guidelines for different intensities. All over the world, people have been forced to stay at home in quarantine to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus.

As a result, traveling has become a luxury that we have had to give up on for the better of all of us. People all over the world had to cancel epic trips.

For those of us who travel was such a common occurrence that it had become part of our identities, it has been a trying, anxious, and disappointing time indeed.

Though it is uncertain times that we are going through in history, we will surely come out on the other side of this. For those of us who miss the thrill of traveling, the joys of meeting new people and seeing new perspectives, the adventure, the thrill of exploring new places, and the element of surprise. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Though things are far from being stable, more people are trying to find their new normal and adjust to our unexpectedly changing world. It is for this very that after about 6 months without traveling I am finally thinking about my next holiday, a thought that would have seemed impossible a few months back.

Nevertheless, planning for my future trip is making me reminisce on my former travels and the joys and memories of traveling. I remember having some of my most treasured memories during my travels. If you are eager and ready to explore, your travels can take you out of your comfort zone and allow you to make some of the best memories of your entire life. Here are some tips that I have used to make and remember new memories:

Attitude is everything:

Traveling is a way to step away from our daily routine, create new adventures, and meet new people. However, without the right attitude, it can quickly turn into an exhausting affair. Attitude makes you personally confident when you have stylish travel luggage

During your travels, you need to be ready to live your stress and past behind you and enjoy yourself. Immerse yourself in the culture of the people of the place you are visiting. Open up to people, and they will be receptive to you. This will increase your chances of meeting new and interesting people who might help you create unforgettable memories.

Go on an unplanned, unscheduled adventure:

While ensuring that you plan out your trip and know every single day, you can choose to have a spontaneous moment during your travel. You can pick one day and go out and see where your adventures take you. You have some of the most unexpected memories during these travels. They give you a sense of spontaneity ad thrill of the unknown that you do not usually get when you have fully planned out your day trip.

See unexpected moments as a way to connect with others:

Let’s be honest while traveling, things you completely do not expect can happen to you. You could be caught in the rain. You could go offline, encounter a language barrier situation, or get almost run over by a camel.

But these unexpected occurrences that can seem like tiny calamities can end up leading to amazing memories. You can end up meeting people or having surprising experiences. In odd moments like this, you can find yourself creating memories that will define your trip. You will be talking about them forever.

So as we look forward to going back to our travels and adventures, keep these tips in mind. I hope they help in making your holiday as memorable as possible.
