A bag for any occasion - suitcase, carry on luggage and totes

Life can be a lot easier if you can travel with just carry on luggage. Carry on luggage saves you the hassle of waiting for bags at the airport carousel or ending up with a damaged suitcase.

Bags for travel, school or shopping

Carry on luggage comes in many styles and sizes to suit any need. Children have designs made just for them and they take pride in wheeling their own Spiderman or Barbie luggage through the airport or train station.

A trip to the beach is made easier with well constructed canvas totes. A trip to the park, the sports field, the library, to Grandma's or just out for a day of shopping is made so much easier with good totes and bags.

Find the perfect suitcase or tote to carry your jewelry, school books, pet supplies, children’s toys, lunch, overnight supplies, laptop, camera, sports equipment, library books, picnic food, cosmetics, makeup and more.

Style and models

You can buy a carry on suitcase as part of a set or individually. Buy one or more hard-sided or soft-sided totes and keep it ready to go.

Suitcase materials include canvas, metal, cotton, denim, jute, woven, wood, leather, faux leather, acetate, acrylic, mesh, polyester and ventile.

Carry on luggage comes in solid colors including black, red, blue, purple, yellow, green and gray. To be more unique, buy multi-colored bags.

Airlines and carry ons

It is important for airlines to keep their passenger compartments uncluttered and safe for their passengers. Generally all bags carried on board must be small enough to store below your seat or in the overhead compartment.

In order to limit the dimensions and number of bags a passenger can take on board with them, most airlines have developed some carry on restrictions.

The basic rule is that carry on baggage must be no taller than 22 inches, no wider than 14 inches, and no deeper than 9 inches, however many airlines also include weight restrictions.

For your convenience:

  • American Airlines allows bags to be 23" x 13" x 9" with no weight restriction
  • Delta allows bags to be 22" x 14" x 9" and under 40 lbs.
  • Air Canada allows bags to be 9" x 15.5" x 21.5" and up to 22 lbs.
  • Cathay Pacific allows bags to be 14" x 22" x 9" with an 11 lb. limit

Check size and weight restrictions for most other airlines by visiting www.landend.com. Since policies often change, check with your airline for their current baggage limit before you travel.
