Everybody Needs A Good Luggage
In today’s modern world, most of the people are always on the run. Traveling has become a part of our lives be it for work or leisure. Traveling can be exciting but there is more to just reaching our destination safely. When we travel we need to be sure to bring along with us quality luggage to avoid problems.
Aside from trying to store our personal belongings like clothes, a luggage’s secondary purpose would be to protect its contents. Having a good, quality luggage affords us the convenience of knowing that whatever important items we may have brought with us, they will be in good condition and intact once we reach our destination. A good luggage is shaped and designed to store conveniently on board aircrafts, buses, trains and other modes of transportation. It should also be designed to be made of material that is lightweight to avoid the risk of injuries for people who will be carrying them. I believe some of us experience how difficult it is to be hauling heavy luggage as we transfer from one airport terminal to another.
We have often seen luggage whose seams just split or those that jam themselves when made to run under conveyers and we don’t want to be put in such an embarrassing situation. We also have to bear in mind that baggage handlers may not probably handle it well and in the process of tossing or transferring it, a luggage of poor quality would definitely get damaged in the long run.
There are several types of luggage available in the market. We have the hard, soft and frameless type of luggage. The hard type of luggage is usually larger and is usually made of molded aluminum which is very durable. These have strong locks usually in combination form and heavy duty handles. They even have designs with wheels that help take some of the weight off for you that you don’t need to carry them.
Soft garment bags are much cheaper but not that durable. It is usually made up of parachute nylon material. The disadvantage with garment bags is that your clothes get crumpled and will need ironing. This type of bag is ideal for an overnight travel.
When choosing a luggage we need to pay close attention to the type, design, and material ensuring most importantly the quality so that it will last for years to come especially for those who travel most of the time.

How much luggage can I take on a Berlin train?
My experience in train travel is non-existent as I have always taken (expensive) taxis. So in trying to smarten up a bit with my travels, I decided to take the airport express train from Berlin Zoologischer Garten to Schoenefeld (SXL) for a flight to Budapest. Cost $2.40 Euros compared to $35.00 plus tip with a taxi!!! I will need to bring with me 2 carry on pieces of luggage. Is 2 pieces of carry-on luggage acceptable when traveling trains…What is the limit? Thanks everybody
as much as you can carry

There are far fewer limits on luggage on trains than on airplanes. You can take as much you can carry onto a train, basically; there is usually A LOT more space. It isn’t even an issue you should even think about, really.

The first two answers are pretty much on target!! Enjoy!!

The train travel in Germany is fast and very efficient.
All trains have a luggage rack above the seats.
Basically you can take as much as you can carry…but 2 pieces of luggage (which I had) were easy enough to handle.
Don’t forget to take down your luggage and be waiting to exit the train a few minutes before your stop….because you are expected to be ready to get off as soon as the train stops.
Have fun…

Most trains will have an area where you can put on extra luggage next to the door as well as above your head. The limiting factor is how much stuff you can carry while boarding and exiting the train. I’ve had two pieces of luggage plus a carry on size, and was easily able to find room on the train, despite having another dozen people with the same amount of luggage (or more). Make sure you are all ready with the luggage in hand when the train approaches your destination – sometimes it stops for only a minute!

That’s right as much as you can handle, because you have to be quick, the trains are on time and don’t wait around. If you can handle two, that’s good.
We travelled by train with 7 Suitcases, 2 Strollers and 2 Camera Bags. 2 guys looking after the suitcases and 2 women looking after the kids and strollers and their handbags. This shows you, there’s no limit.
