Valise or bag? Which baggage is better?

Nowadays a lot more Polish people can afford to travel for summer holidays to exotic resorts. Since airline companies arrived in Poland, we are able to book flights for very reasonable price. But even if we get a nice deal on tickets, still we need to face additional costs, like baggage for example. How to pack our bag to avoid extra expenditures?

Bag or valise?

Most of the passengers of small airline companies are young people, who are choosing shorter holidays, not longer than 10 days. Depending on our needs, for such short period of time we may use really small bag to fit everything we need. However some people during vacations like to have anything they may need with them. In that case regular bag won’y be enough. A lot easier choice we have when we are travelling with another person, who has a lot smaller needs than us. In that case we may fit some of our items in his or her bag, or simply share additional luggage.

Convenience

Modern valises which are available in the stores right now are very comfortable. Most of those own small wheels, thanks yo them we don’t have to carry our valise, it is just rolling close to us. However it may be a problem when we face the stairs or some imbalanced floor. In that case valise may be a problem, especially for people with less strength. Cause in most of occasions, valise is made of solid, heavy plastic, and it is bigger than regular bag. That is why some people may have big problem to carry it. On the other hand, if we choose the bag we will be forced to carry it. However we may also buy a bag with additional wheels, it is more expensive but extremely convenient.

How much it costs?

Most of the small, airline companies are offering some kind of baggage in price of a plane ticket. However, depending on a carrier, size of a bag may be different. That is why before we even buy a bag or valise, we need to get all the informations about baggage policy. There is a big chance, that we will be able to bring one, medium size valise on board, in price of a ticket. Some carriers are allowing only medium size bag, for a valise we will need to pay extra. But registered baggage is also good option, especially if we like to share it with a friend. It has a lot less regulations than carry on bag. We are able to pack inside as much cosmetics and fluids as we like – without any limits. You may also bring some food with you, objects with sharp edges, like scissors or small knife for example.
