Size, weight and your bag allowance

Samsonite groups cases as medium at 60 to 70cm and large at 71 to 79cm tall. A larger case is easy to fill past your airline's weight limit, so it is worth choosing the size to match the allowance rather than the trip.

The case's own weight counts. Samsonite lists its 75cm Paralux spinner at 4.3kg and its 76cm Nexis spinner at 3.5kg. On a 23kg allowance that is the difference between 18.7kg and 19.5kg of packing.

Check the baggage allowance on the booking, not the airline's general page. It can change with the fare, the cabin and the traveller's loyalty tier.

Before you order for a team

  • Ask for a VAT invoice in the company name.
  • Register the warranty and keep the receipt somewhere the traveller can find it, as airlines and brands may ask for proof of purchase after damage.
  • Choose a bright colour or add a tag with a company address, not a home address.
  • If an employee buys their own case, note that HMRC guidance says ordinary luggage such as suitcases does not qualify for employee tax relief.

Questions people ask

What is the best check-in suitcases for longer work trips in the UK?

On our shortlist, the Bric's 77cm Spinner Suitcase - Cervia - Cervia Dark Grey is the best overall pick at £145 from Case Luggage. For a tighter budget, the Bric's 70cm Expandable Medium Spinner Suitcase - Nausicaa - Grey Blue (£149.49) is our best-value choice.

How much should I pay for check-in suitcases for longer work trips?

Most of the 128 UK listings we screened sit between £209 and £590, with a middle price of £349. Trade suppliers often show prices before VAT, so add 20% if you can't reclaim it.

Can a business reclaim VAT on check-in suitcases for longer work trips?

A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim the VAT on equipment bought for business use, as long as it holds a valid VAT invoice from the supplier. Ask the seller for one at checkout.

Where can I buy check-in suitcases for longer work trips for a business?

The picks here come from Case Luggage. Most UK trade suppliers offer next-day delivery and VAT invoices; some offer credit accounts for regular orders.

Is it better to get a hard or soft suitcase?

It is mostly a matter of preference. Many hard-shell cases are now very light, and many soft-shell cases now wipe clean. Soft cases often add outside pockets; hard shells can scuff over time. Compare the empty weight and the warranty.

What size suitcase is best for a 23kg limit?

A medium case of around 65 to 70cm is usually enough for 23kg of clothes. A large case of 75cm or more is easy to overfill, and its own weight of 3.5kg to 4.5kg comes out of your allowance.

What is the best luggage brand in the UK?

No brand is best for everyone. Compare the empty weight, the warranty and the wheels. The listings on this page show the price spread for each brand across UK suppliers.
