Best luggage For International Travel

Smart Luggage

Whether you are looking for the best luggage for international travel, the best carry-on luggage , the best luggage brands, what you should be looking for is Smart Luggage.

The term "smart luggage" applies to an integrated technology based offering that currently includes features such as built-in battery charging (most prominent) with USB charging ports, tracking capability, self weighing mechanism, locking, ride-able and automatic follow. Furthermore the materials adopted range from ballistic to aeronautic grade for durability.

The evolution of smart luggage has produced a vast array of products, some good, some not so. One of the most common complaints is generally around poorly implemented components, materials and performance.  We've selected what we believe to be the best offerings on the market today, however no matter how good our picks actually are, it is essential to check with your airline prior to travel to ensure your particular luggage complies with airline policy and is allowed.
