How many suitcases do you actually end taking with you when you travel?

Question

Zero. 110 liter Kelty Red Cloud backpack inside a canvas duffel bag so the straps don't get caught up in airline luggage handling equipment if I'm on a commercial flight. No duffel bag if I'm on my own aircraft. The backpack is easier to move with than a suitcase. Holds plenty for 1-5 weeks.

That’s funny I will be packing mine today so we’ll see Target is just one But if I run out of room I might end up taking a second one

Well according to my husband far too many... However he very seldom takes into account that I'm not only packing for myself, but also for our two children... And that's my excuse which I'm sticking to!

How about your goodself @thegreenyogi

the bare minimum is my backpack... if I travel for longer time then I take a suitcase too... but I would rather find a place where I can wash my clothes than taking a lot...

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! ✈️ As a traveler who loves to explore different places and dive into various cultures, I typically travel light. I prioritize mobility and ease, so I aim for just one medium-sized suitcase and a carry-on. This allows me to pack essentials while leaving room for some local treasures I might find on my adventures. Looking forward to hopping on a new journey with you! 🌍

Depends on how long I will be going and the weather/climate at my destination. For a 9 day cruise, my wife and I took a total of three suitcases. If I was going for a week to ski country in the winter, it might take four suitcases because the winter wear is much more bulky.

Sunrising · Answer

I have never used a suitcase. On my recent flight I used a rucksack and I put it in the hold, though previously I've used a smaller version on a flight to use as carry on hand luggage. When I travel in a car I take a holdall, I prefer to travel light and I use hotel facilities to iron my clothes.

AviatorTom · Answer

It depends how long I'll be away from home.

If it's just a few days, I take one small carry-on suitcase.

If it's around a week, I take one medium size suitcase and one small carry-on suitcase.

For longer trips, I usually take one large suitcase. one medium size suitcase, and one small carry-on suitcase.

Tarifa · Answer

Most of the time, just a backpack. Or a small pack and a suitcase that fits inside the plane. Everytime we travelled with a big suitcase, we find that half of the stuff we take just travels back and forth.

Shiprex · Answer

This time it wasn't a suitcase but a soft luggage that got ripped in transit. I had a load of food in there a lo and behold it was taped up with nothing missing when I landed. Hats off to service staff at Arlanda Sweden

Genie23 · Answer

That depends on how many days I'm going away for and what am I planning to do/the reason for the travel. 😅

NathanDavis · Answer

I don't really travel much, not so far and not for long either so... just one, usually, does the trick for me

RHK36 · Answer

1 checked bag at the most and whatever I can carry on depending on the airline. That's usually for a longer trip. Shorter trips I avoid checking luggage in.

One small carry on for 5 weeks to 8 weeks international travel. We are minimalist.

As little as possible. If you know how to pack well you can fit a week's worth of clothes easily in a carry on.
