Medium Suitcases
Packing for a week can be tricky. A cabin bag is often too tight, but a large case feels like overkill. Enter the medium suitcase: your ultimate travel companion for that 4-to-7-day window. You get ample room for outfits and shoes, plus that all-important space for souvenirs, without being weighed down by a massive trunk. It’s not just luggage; it’s the freedom to pack what you want, not just what fits. So find your perfect match, get packed, and enjoy your week's stay!
The Perfect Suitcase for Week-Long Trips
About to head off on a week-long adventure? A good suitcase can make the difference between feeling organised and feeling overwhelmed. Our collection of luggage for a one-week trip features medium check-in suitcases that are just the right size for 4–7 days away — whether you’re packing for a summer getaway, city exploring or mixing business and leisure. With roomy interiors, expandability options and great durability, these cases help you pack smart without stress and still have room for souvenirs on the way home.
Why a Medium Suitcase is the "Just Right" Choice
If Goldilocks went on holiday, she’d choose a medium suitcase. It is the definitive check-in size for the average week-long escape. On this page, you’ll find favourites like the SoundBox 67cm Medium Check-in. It’s a classic for a reason—its expandable design means you can start your trip streamlined and return with a little extra bulk (and duty-free shopping) without stress. For those who prefer a softer touch, the SummerRide 69cm Medium Check-in mixes a sleek, professional look with a flexible interior that’s very forgiving if you’re not the neatest packer.
Looking for durability that looks the part? The Soundbox Alu 68cm Medium Check-in offers that premium aluminium strength—perfect for protecting fragile items on longer hauls. Or, make the suitcase truly yours with the Airconic 67cm Medium Check-in. Not only is it incredibly lightweight, but the variety of vibrant colours and personalisation options mean you’ll spot your bag on the carousel instantly. No more lifting other people’s luggage by mistake!
Pack Smarter, Not Harder
Having a great medium suitcase is step one; packing it well is step two. Since you have more space than a cabin bag, think in full outfits rather than individual pieces. We recommend rolling your clothes to maximise every inch and using packing cubes to separate your daywear from your evening attire. The beauty of the models on this page is the internal organisation—cross-ribbons and dividers come standard, keeping your belongings secure while you travel.
If you are a notorious over-packer (we’ve all been there), keep an eye out for expandable models like the Novastream 67cm Medium Check-in (from 25.5 to 29.5 cm). It gives you those crucial extra litres of volume exactly when you need them, saving you from the dreaded "sit on the suitcase to zip it" struggle.
Styles That Match Your Travel Vibe
Your luggage should be an extension of your personal style, not just a box for your clothes. That’s why American Tourister is famous for its colour palette. Whether you crave a bold pop of colour to spot your case instantly on the carousel, a dreamy pastel for a summer feel, or a timeless neutral for a sleek look, we have the shade to match. If you love a modern, energetic aesthetic, the StarVibe 67cm Medium Check-in comes in array of striking tones to suit its futuristic design. Alternatively, if you prefer a more rugged, casual approach, the Urban Track 68cm Duffle on Wheels breaks the mould—packing like a duffle but rolling like a suitcase for the best of both worlds.
Ultimately, a medium suitcase gives you peace of mind. You have room for that extra jumper "just in case," the nice shoes for dinner, and gifts for the family back home. Just don’t forget your toothpaste!
Real Reviews from Real Travellers

FAQ
What is the best suitcase size for a 1-week holiday?
For most travellers, a medium suitcase (typically between 65cm and 70cm in height) is the ideal choice for a 7-day trip. It offers roughly 60–75 litres of packing space, which is plenty for a week’s worth of clothes, toiletries, and two or three pairs of shoes, while still being manageable to haul around airports and train stations.
Is an expandable medium suitcase worth it?
Absolutely. An expandable medium suitcase is like an insurance policy for your packing. You might not need the extra space on the way there, but after a week of shopping or hastily repacking dirty laundry, that extra zip-out section is a lifesaver. It keeps you from having to upgrade to a large suitcase that might be too cumbersome for a short trip.
Hard shell vs. Soft shell: Which medium suitcase is better?
It depends on your needs and priorities. Hard shell medium suitcases (like the SoundBox or StarVibe) offer better protection for breakables, have a sleek look and are water-resistant, making them great for flights. Soft suitcases (like the SummerRide) feature external pockets for easy access to your travel documents or favorite book, and offer a bit more "give" if you are trying to squeeze into a tight car boot.
