Luggage – The Right Piece for Every Journey
Whether it's a short trip, a business journey or a long-haul holiday – with the right luggage, you travel relaxed and well organised. At Markenkoffer.de you'll find high-quality suitcases & trolleys, travel bags, luggage sets and practical travel accessories from over 50 brands – including Samsonite, Travelite, TITAN and American Tourister.
Luggage Categories at a Glance
Depending on the type of trip and your personal style, various luggage types are available to you:
Suitcases and Trolleys
Suitcases and trolleys are the classics among luggage. Whether hardside suitcases made of polycarbonate or softside luggage made of nylon – trolleys with an extendable telescopic handle and wheel system can be conveniently manoeuvred through airports and train stations. Available in all sizes, from cabin luggage (S) to oversized (XL).
Travel Bags
For travellers who value flexibility, travel bags are an excellent choice. Travel bags with wheels combine the spaciousness of a bag with the comfort of a trolley. Travel bags without wheels are particularly lightweight and can be carried as a shoulder bag or with a strap – ideal for weekend trips and sports travel.
Luggage Sets
Luggage sets consist of two or three matching pieces of luggage in the same design. This saves 20–30% compared to the individual price and offers the right size for every trip duration. Particularly practical: the smaller suitcases can be stored space-savingly inside the largest model.
Underseat Bags and Personal Items
Underseat bags serve as an additional piece of hand luggage on the plane. In them, you can keep your passport, tablet, headphones and snacks within easy reach. Many airlines allow a personal item in addition to the cabin trolley – take advantage of this benefit.
Further Luggage
- Children's suitcases – child-friendly designs, lightweight and sturdy
- Toiletry and cosmetic bags – organised and leak-proof for care products
- Weekenders – stylish companions for 2–3 days
- Business trolleys – with padded laptop compartment for business travellers
- Travel accessories – packing cubes, luggage scales, locks and luggage straps
Which Luggage Suits Your Trip?
Choosing the right luggage depends on the type of trip, duration and mode of transport:
- Short trip (2–4 days): A cabin luggage trolley (up to 55 cm, 30–40 l) or a weekender is completely sufficient.
- Standard holiday (1–2 weeks): A medium-sized suitcase (M, 65–70 cm, 60–80 l) offers enough space for 7–14 outfits.
- Long-haul trip (2+ weeks): A large suitcase (L/XL, from 75 cm, 90–120+ l) or a luggage set is the best choice.
- Business trip: A business trolley with a laptop compartment and TSA lock – particularly practical in cabin luggage size.
- Family holiday: A luggage set in various sizes plus children's suitcases for the little ones.
Materials and Construction Compared
The material significantly determines the weight, protection and lifespan of your luggage:
Hardside Suitcases
- Polycarbonate: The premium material – extremely break-resistant, feather-light and returns to its original shape after deformation. Samsonite and TITAN rely on pure Makrolon polycarbonate. Ideal for frequent flyers.
- Polypropylene: Very resistant to scratches and impacts, while also being recyclable. Samsonite Magnum Eco uses this material.
- ABS: The affordable entry-level option – solid for occasional travellers, but heavier and less flexible than polycarbonate.
Softside Luggage
- Nylon: Tear-resistant, water-repellent and particularly durable. Ballistic nylon is considered almost indestructible.
- Polyester: Lightweight and affordable, a good everyday companion for train and car journeys.
Features That Make the Difference
Modern luggage impresses with thoughtful details:
- TSA lock: Can be opened by the US Transportation Security Administration without damage – strongly recommended for international flights.
- 360° double wheels: Four wheels allow upright, back-friendly pushing in any direction. Double wheels are quieter and more stable than single wheels.
- Ergonomic telescopic handle: Infinitely adjustable and adaptable to your height.
- Expandable zip (expander): An additional zipper increases volume by 15–25% – perfect for souvenirs on the way home.
- Packing cubes and interior compartments: Dividers, packing straps and mesh pockets keep your suitcase organised.

- Use packing cubes: Packing cubes save up to 30% space and keep your suitcase organised.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which luggage is best suited for air travel?
For air travel, we recommend a polycarbonate hardside suitcase with a TSA lock and 4 wheels. The hard shell protects the contents of your suitcase from impacts and moisture in the cargo hold. For hand luggage, a compact cabin trolley (max. 55 x 40 x 20 cm) with a light weight is ideal – leaving more leeway for the weight limit.
Which is better – hardside suitcases or softside luggage?
Hardside suitcases offer better protection, are waterproof and stackable – ideal for air travel and fragile items. Softside luggage is lighter, more flexible thanks to expandable zips, and offers practical outer pockets for quick access – perfect for car and train journeys. For pure air travel, we recommend hardside; for flexible travellers, softside luggage.
What suitcase size do I need for my holiday?
As a rule of thumb: you need about 50 litres of suitcase volume per week of holiday. Cabin luggage (S, up to 55 cm) is enough for 2–4 days. Medium-sized suitcases (M, 65–70 cm, 60–80 l) are suitable for 1–2 weeks. Large suitcases (L, from 75 cm, 90–110 l) are designed for 2–3 weeks or winter holidays with bulky clothing. For winter trips, factor in 30–40% more volume.
What does a TSA lock mean and do I need one?
TSA stands for Transportation Security Administration – the US transport security authority. A TSA lock can be opened by security officers using a master key without damaging your lock. Without a TSA lock, officers are permitted to break the suitcase open. A TSA lock is strongly recommended for travel to the USA. It also provides added security for other international flights.
Is a luggage set worth it, or is it better to put together individual pieces?
A luggage set saves 20–30% compared to the individual price – for a 3-piece set, that's €50–100. Sets are worthwhile if you travel multiple times a year for different durations, or if you need different sizes as a couple or family. The most popular combination: S (55 cm) + M (65 cm) + L (75 cm). If you only travel once or twice a year, a single suitcase is sufficient.
How do I properly care for my luggage?
Wipe down hardside suitcases with a damp cloth and mild detergent – avoid abrasive cleaners. Treat stains on softside luggage with soapy water, and vacuum the interior regularly. Check the wheels for dirt caused by hair or stones. Store your luggage in a dry place, ideally in a protective cover.
Which luggage brand offers the best value for money?
This depends on your budget. Travelite offers solid luggage from €49 – ideal for budget-conscious travellers. American Tourister delivers Samsonite quality at a lower price (from €70). For frequent flyers, investing in Samsonite or TITAN with premium materials is worthwhile. Stratic impresses with German craftsmanship in the mid-price segment.
Can I take luggage as hand luggage?
Yes, as long as it meets the airline's requirements. Most airlines allow hand luggage up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 7–10 kg. In addition to the cabin trolley, you are usually allowed to bring a personal item (underseat bag, laptop bag). Check your airline's exact dimensions and weight limits before your flight – rules vary depending on the airline and fare.
