Best Travel Bags for Women 2025: Stylish & Durable

Checked vs Carry-on Luggage

Both checked and carry-on bags are available on airplanes. In both cases, shipping companies limit the items' combined weight and size measurements. In most cases, the weight of checked luggage is restricted.

Can a Weekender Bag be Used as a Carry-on Bag?

Weekender bags are designed mostly for local travel. As a result, a weekender bag has to be large enough to accommodate all of your necessities for a few days while still being small enough to fit in your carry-on luggage.

Do Garment Bags Count as Carry-on Luggage?

Garment bags aren't usually included in the carry-on luggage allowance while traveling by plane. However, you can buy carry-on luggage that includes a garment bag inside it, which allows you to have both. Our favorite one is the Grand Leather Garment Bag.

Types of Travel Bags

Travel Totes

Bags with parallel handles on either side are known as tote bags. A travel bag may have a few pockets, but those compartments are well-equipped to hold everything you need for your journey. It is possible to pack wallets, passports, cellphones, and other electronic gadgets into one of these convenient carry-on luggage bags. Convenient Carry-On Bags

Duffel Bags

Duffle bags are cylindrical canvas bags with a drawstring commonly used by military personnel and athletes. These bags are more commonly used as carry-on luggage on most flights because they are lightweight and roomy enough to store all your travel essentials.

Weekender Bags

All of your clothes, toiletries, and other travel requirements should fit in a weekender bag when you're going away for the weekend—a good carry-on for short vacations or a good backpack for longer trips. Unlike a duffel bag, usually made of canvas or nylon, a gym bag is generally made of cotton or nylon, but leather versions are becoming increasingly popular.

Stylish Backpacks

A backpack is another useful travel bag, presuming you don't need to carry too many items. They are more traditionally used as a personal item, where you have a rolling carry-on bag with your main items to be stowed, then your personal backpack carries essentials that you need at hand during your flight.

Rolling Luggage

As the name implies, rolling baggage is designed to be more easily maneuvered about airports and other public spaces when traveling. Using rolling baggage has long been a popular option for vacationers, dating back to 1970. Even though they were designed to be carry-ons, these bags are increasingly being examined. Due to its ability to spin, spinner luggage has been increasingly popular in recent years.

Backpackers Packs

Travel packs, which are specialized rucksacks manufactured especially for backpackers, are a popular mode of transportation for them. Traditional backpacks look identical to those with a zipped shoulder or hip belt or a shoulder harness attached. They are an excellent option if you only need to pack a few things and relocate. This backpack is easy to travel with because it has a lot of storage space.

Alternatives to a Travel Bag

There aren't really any good alternatives to a travel bag.

You could use a normal bag or backpack as your personal item, but most of them won't be large enough to hold enough clothes for a weekend away.

You're best off investing in a carry-on bag that's built for traveling.
