I am looking for a new piece of luggage to use as my checked bag. I'm not sure about getting a 25 inch or a 29 inch. I want it to be as light as possible so i can meet the weight restrictions. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay a fortune and am looking at Travelpro.

I'd double check the TSA bag size rules. I thought the size was smaller than what you want to buy

@reiki604 Osprey....carry-on backpack/suitcase combo with wheels. You will pay, but it will be worth it. I don't check luggage, but Osprey is the best checked or carry-on.

i use travel pro exclusively.
25 inch is plenty large enough for extended travel needs without incurring overweight charges.
the 4 spinner wheels are a must.

thans for the suggestion but I am going on an 11 day cruise and then 3 days in Quebec as well as a 7 day cruise with 3 days at a beach resort. I need something more than a carryon.

Try IT Luggage. Extremely lightweight and holds up well. We purchased it in anticipation of a 13-day Alaska Cruisetour. Largest piece is 31" and weighs only 5.5 pounds.

I too am a Travelpro fan. 25 inches is plenty big for the trip your planning. It is much easier to maneuver and handle than 29. Personally, I could do that trip with a 21 inch carryon and tote given the great materials clothing is made out of these days--easy wash/dry and no iron.

@reiki604 I went on a two week road trip to Western Canada with 3 other people. We all agreed to just take a carry-on due to space restrictions. I took a clean outfit for every day, long pants and a shirt, and did it using dual-use Space Bags. They are the kind you press or roll or sit on to get the air out. Remarkably, my clothes were not wrinkled either.
If you fill a 25" or larger bag, it's almost impossible to avoid overweight charges.

Once upon a time, I let a shopping companion talk me into buying a 29" for a longish European trip. It was awkward and heavy, and I was so happy to get home and unpack. But I was even happier when the squirrels that invaded the attic ate away at its edging and I could easily justify a 25" replacement.

I got a Swiss Gear from Target. It survived Bejing and India.
