When you’re a business traveler, a durable suitcase is a requirement for every trip. A feature-filled, smart bag is even better. Compared to 10 years ago, today’s suitcases are completely reinvented. Read this list to find out which suitcase style is the best fit for your on-the-go lifestyle.

1. Multi-Directional Wheels

If you’re the type of traveler that spends their time running around airports and cities, then you need a suitcase with multi-directional spinner wheels. This type of wheel provides your suitcase with a full range of movement—perfect for maneuvering around crowded areas.

2. In-Luggage Garment Bag

Garment bags, a mainstay for the multi-day business traveler, keep your suits and dresses perfectly pressed when you’re on the road. While garment bags are often carried separate, other suitcases integrate the bag into storage space. An integrated option makes carrying your luggage easy when you’re packing pressed items and casual shoes and clothing. It’s the perfect business/leisure luggage option.

3. Packing Cubes

Make the packing (and unpacking) process easier on yourself by storing clothing and personal belongings in packing cubes. These zipped fabric containers save space inside the suitcase while keeping everything neat and organized. Traveling becomes simple when you know what to pack in each cube and how each cube arranges inside your suitcase for the perfect fit.

4. Hardshell

As a global traveler, you need a durable suitcase to get you through the job. Suitcases take a lot of hits while traveling—from throwing suitcases into the car to checking them in at airports. So, purchase a suitcase that can handle anything. Some hardshell suitcases are polycarbonate, making them lighter and stronger than most plastic suitcases. With a suitcase this tough, you will never need to worry about the safety of its contents as you travel the world.

5. Lightweight

If you’re the type of traveler who consistently overpacks, consider investing in a lightweight suitcase. While maintaining the strength of a hardshell suitcase, these cases are easier to carry around town or through busy airports. Worry less about airline overweight fees and overpacking by purchasing a lighter case for your next trip.
