What are the size specifications for large suitcases?
2 Answers
Large suitcases come in sizes of 20 inches, 22 inches, 24 inches, 28 inches, and 30 inches. Detailed specifications: The maximum size for a suitcase is 32 inches, with a height of 98 cm, width of 62 cm, and thickness of 35 cm. However, dimensions may vary slightly between different brands. Material details: Suitcases can be categorized by material into soft fabric suitcases and hard suitcases (hard suitcases can be further divided into ABS, PP, ABS+PC, and pure PC materials). Based on different structures, suitcases can be classified into upright pull rod suitcases and horizontal suitcases (upright suitcases can be divided into four-wheel and two-wheel types).
As a frequent traveler who often jets around the world, I pay special attention to the size specifications of large suitcases. Large suitcases generally refer to sizes ranging from 28 to 32 inches. Common specifications include: 28 inches with a height of approximately 71cm, width of 50cm, depth of 30cm, totaling 151cm in combined dimensions; 30 inches with a height of about 76cm, width of 54cm, depth of 32cm, totaling 162cm; and 32 inches possibly reaching around 81cm in height. However, the standard airline limit for combined dimensions is 158cm, so 30-inch suitcases often exceed this and incur additional fees. When choosing a suitcase, I recommend the 28-inch size because it's a safe bet for packing more—like fitting in clothes while still leaving extra space. Weight is also crucial; exceeding 23kg can double your check-in fees. Brands like Samsonite offer precise dimensions, but soft-sided suitcases can expand, taking up more space. Always check the airline's official website before departure to avoid unexpected charges.
