Gone are the days of missing luggage at the carousel. If you have a short-haul trip, just pack carry-on.
Great for keeping your belongings close and in the overhead locker, hardshell cases are incredibly lightweight, sturdy and reliable.
If you’re on the hunt for a new style for an upcoming holiday, there’s plenty to choose from in the Strandbags sale.
Our top pick? Nere’s Bondi Carry-On 56cm Suitcase, was $239 now $119.50.
Available in eight sleek colourways, shoppers describe it as a “fabulous” case for weekends away.
“Great quality, light and easy for transit, love the colour! Thoughtful compartments and luggage straps inside the case to keep everything in its place,” writes one reviewer.

As for long-haul trips and international holidays, chances are you’ll need a slightly bigger version for big and bulky items.
We’ve got our eye on Flylite’s Fig Check-In 72cm Suitcase, which is down from $270 to just $135.
Complete with a generous 72cm size, it weighs 4.8kg — meaning there’s plenty of room and weight allowance for your belongings.
Or if you prefer a fabric material over a hardshell, the same brand has discounted the Bamboo Check-In 80cm Suitcase down to $135 (was $270).
Be sure to look for all the key compartments necessary for smooth travelling such as pockets, dividers, elastic Y-straps and combination locks.

Whether you’re travelling interstate or internationally, there’s no denying how having a crossbody is a lifesaver.
Perfect for keeping your wallet, keys and phone close (plus a passport), these styles are often fashionable as well as functional.
We’ve spotted a leather style, the Charli Leather Crossbody Bag, marked down to $99 from $149.
Elevated enough to wear while strolling around the city, shoppers have given the bag five stars online.
“I bought this bag for my daughter and she has stopped using it, practical stylish bag, she loves it,” one reviewer wrote.
“Great bag. Small but large enough to fit purse and phone in it comfortably,” another added.
