Luggage Sets for Every Trip You're About to Overpack For, Without Overspending
Packing for a trip shouldn't mean choosing between "looks good" and "doesn't cost a fortune." Whether you're jetting off for a city break, road-tripping with the boot full, or interrailing your way around Europe, the right luggage set makes the whole thing easier, and your wallet will thank you too. Here's exactly what to pack, for exactly your kind of trip.
Best Luggage Set for a City Trip
A city trip is the art of fitting as much as possible into as little time as possible. So why would you spend the first hour of it waiting at baggage reclaim? Smart city travellers know that packing light is half the adventure. The golden rule? Carry-on only. No fees, no waiting, no oversized suitcase on the metro. Just you, your bags, and the city. Here's our favourite combo to make it happen.
Airconic 55cm: The Carry-On That Does It All
The Airconic 55cm is the kind of cabin luggage that makes you wonder why you ever checked a bag in the first place. At just 2kg and 33.5 litres, it's light enough to lift into an overhead locker without pulling a muscle, yet roomy enough for a long weekend's worth of outfits. The hardside shell handles the bumps and knocks of busy city travel without breaking a sweat, while the built-in TSA combination lock keeps your belongings safe throughout. Four double spinner wheels mean it glides through terminals, stations, and hotel lobbies effortlessly.
Take2cabin S/M Backpack: Small Bag, Big Job
Every savvy city traveller knows the secret weapon: a great underseat bag. The Take2cabin S/M backpack slides neatly under the seat in front of you, meaning your essentials are always within reach, no climbing over strangers to get to the overhead locker mid-flight. Better yet, it's perfectly sized for the free underseat baggage allowance on airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, helping you travel lighter and avoid extra baggage fees.
At just 0.6kg and 26.5 litres, it's impressively light yet surprisingly spacious. There's a dedicated 15.6" laptop compartment, a tablet pocket, internal organisation pockets, and even a side bottle holder for your water on the go. Approved for free on-board carry with several budget air lines. So it takes the stress out of budget airline travel completely. Rated 4.8 out of 5 by customers, and honestly, it's easy to see why.

Best Luggage Set for a Work Trip
A business trip isn't really about the destination, it's about the wifi password, your charger, and that one folder you swore you packed. You're not chasing landmarks, you're chasing meetings, and turning up looking like you just got off a backpacking trip doesn't exactly scream "I've got this handled." The right kit changes that completely. Here's the combo that gets you from the airport to the boardroom without missing a beat.
At Work Nxt Laptop Bag with Wheels: Your Office, Rolling Behind You
This is the bag that does the heavy lifting, quite literally. With a dedicated 15.6" laptop compartment and a separate clothing section, the At Work Nxt Laptop Bag covers an overnight stay without needing to check anything in. The integrated wheel system means you're not slinging a heavy bag over your shoulder after a long flight, and the front pockets keep your passport, boarding pass, and business cards exactly where you need them. It looks sharp enough for a client meeting and practical enough for the early morning gate dash.
At Work Nxt Laptop Backpack: Built for the Bits In Between
While the wheeled bag handles the overnight essentials, this laptop backpack is your everyday companion, for the commute, the coffee run, and the meeting you're rushing to straight off the plane. At just 0.7kg, it barely registers on your shoulders, yet it still fits a 15.6" laptop, has a dedicated bottle holder, and slides neatly onto the wheeled bag's smart sleeve so you're not juggling two separate items through the terminal.

Best Luggage Set for a Family Holiday
Family holidays come with a packing equation that doesn't quite add up: four people, one car boot, and somehow seventeen pairs of shoes. The trick isn't packing less, it's having the right cases to actually fit everything in without anyone's swimwear ending up in someone else's suitcase. This is where a proper matching set earns its keep.
The Summer Hit Luggage Set is built exactly for this kind of trip. It's a genuine 3-piece set: cabin, medium, and large, all matching, all hardside, and all built with the same TSA lock and smooth spinner wheels. No mismatched colours, no guessing which lid fits which base. Here's how the sizes work for a family:
The 55cm cabin case
perfect for one of the kids to wheel through the airport themselves (instant proud parent moment), or for keeping valuables and electronics close on travel days.
The 66cm medium case
the workhorse for a parent's wardrobe, or for splitting clothes evenly so nobody's stuck without a single t-shirt if a case goes missing.
The 76cm large case
where everything else goes. Beach towels, the kids' twelve favourite toys, that "just in case" jumper nobody wears. All of it.
And because the cases nest inside one another, storing them at home afterwards takes up barely any space at all, a small win, but a real one.
🧳🧳🧳The Summer Hit Luggage Set: cabin, medium and large, all matching, all ready to go, and genuinely good value for three full-sized cases. Keep an eye out for seasonal discounts on the American Tourister site too.

Best Luggage Set for a Couples Holiday
Every couple has a packing dynamic, and it usually goes something like this: one of you has narrowed it down to "just the essentials" three days before departure, and the other is still adding outfit options the morning you leave. Rather than fighting it, why not pack into it? Here's a combo for each side of the relationship
Her Kit: The Starvibe Combo
For the partner who believes every holiday deserves at least four "what if I want to wear this" outfit options, the Starvibe Combo with Large Check-in has the room to make it happen. At 100/106L expandable, it swallows shoes, accessories, and that one dress you'll "definitely wear once." The matching Beauty Case keeps the skincare routine and makeup bag fully intact, no squashing your favourite serum between a swimsuit and a hairdryer. Holiday photos ready, packing meltdown avoided.
His Kit: The Cloudrider Combo
For the partner who packs in the time it takes to boil a kettle, the Cloudrider Medium Check-in is more than enough: expandable if needed, but rarely required. Add the Cloudrider Washbag, with its dedicated wet pocket and elastic loops, and the entire toiletries situation is sorted in under a minute. Simple, efficient, and somehow always ready to go before the other one's even started.
Best Luggage Sets for a Train Trip
Here's an unpopular opinion: you don't need to carry 40 litres on your back to do a proper train trip. Sure, a big backpack has its charm, but so does not arriving at your hostel with a sweaty back and a sore shoulder. Trains are smooth, stations have floors, and wheels exist for a reason. That said, not everyone agrees, so here are two ways to do it, depending on which side of that argument you're on.
Option 1: Wheel It: Urban Track Duffle with Wheels + Urban Groove Backpack
This is the best of both worlds. Roll the Urban Track Duffle smoothly across platforms and station concourses, then grab the handle and carry it the moment the ground gets rougher, cobbled old towns, uneven hostel staircases, the kind of terrain wheels just don't love. The Urban Groove UG16 Backpack is light enough to forget you're wearing it, with just enough room for water, snacks, a book, and whatever you pick up along the way. The smart sleeve slides it straight onto your duffle's handle for the journey itself, so you're never juggling two bags through a busy platform.
Option 2: Travelling Lighter? FastForward 68cm + Urban Tide Duffle + Puffypop M
For the hands-free purists, this is the classic interrailing set-up. The Urban Track Travel Backpack holds a genuinely impressive 44 litres, enough for a proper multi-stop trip, while keeping a dedicated laptop compartment and clothing section so nothing gets crushed. Add the Colourdry Shoulder Bag, water-repellent and just the right size for your phone, passport, and travel cards, and you've got instant access to everything you need without taking the big bag off your back at every stop.

Best Luggage Sets for a Road Trip
Here's the one trip where packing rules don't really apply. No cabin limits, no weight allowances, no 100ml liquid restrictions, if it fits in the boot, it's coming with you. The only real question is: how much boot have you actually got?
Option 1: Got the Boot Space? Diablast 78cm + SummerRide Duffle + Wanderlite S/M
If your car boot could double as a small storage unit, this is your combo. The Diablast 78cm Large Check-in expands generously, with a hardside shell, TSA lock, and extra-large double wheels that handle motorway service stations just as well as gravel campsite car parks. Pair it with the SummerRide Duffle Bag for the overflow: beach gear, walking boots, whatever doesn't quite fit in the case. And since the boot's clearly got room to spare, throw in the Wanderlite S/M too: a proper daypack with a laptop and tablet compartment, two bottle holders, and enough room for everything you'll actually want on the day itself, not just in the car. Bonus: its compact size also makes it suitable as a personal item on airlines such as Ryanair, making it just as handy for flights as it is for road trips.
Option 2: Travelling Lighter? FastForward 68cm + Urban Tide Duffle + Puffypop M
Smaller car, fewer stops, or just a fan of not over-packing? The FastForward 68cm Medium Check-in still expands when you need it, with a built-in AirTag pocket so you always know where it is, even shoved in the boot under everyone else's stuff. The Urban Tide Duffle Bag rounds it out: water-repellent, with a shoe pocket and compression straps to keep things tidy on the way there. Add the Puffypop M Laptop Backpack as your day-trip companion: compact, with its own laptop compartment, a secret back pocket for valuables, and a front zipped pocket for everything you want grabbing distance from, whether that's snacks, sunglasses, or your phone.
