There are many kinds of luggage that you can choose nowadays. The type of luggage may determine your kinds of travel, the distance of travel, the type of things carried and how the luggage is transported. For example, soft-type luggage made from thick nylon is flexible, perfect for carrying shock resistant stuffs such as clothing and books. Soft-type luggage easily expand, which mean you can put many thing in it. Nylon meant that they are lighter and convenient for you to carry around. Make sure it is thick enough and not easily ripped apart. One thumb of rule is, the bag will only have minor scratches when cut with a sharp knife. A low quality luggage, made from cloths only good for short distance travel and light load. When overloaded they will easily ripped apart and spill the contents, not a pretty sight if that happen during loading/unloading process in cargo compartment of aircraft.

On the other side, you may need full protection for your things for the expense of weight and flexibility. Trunks made from wood or even metals are made for durability with little consideration on your convenience. This type is luggage is great if you want to take a sensitive equipments, such as electronic stuffs. Just make sure you fill the empty spaces inside your trunks with scraps like used newspaper for shock-absorbent and to prevent your goods from moving inside the trunks.  You may choose trunks made fiberglass to save weight, but they may crack if dropped violently. The choice is yours………
