Softside luggage vs. Hardside luggage: How to choose
Should you buy a softside suitcase or a hardside one? It all comes down to personal preference.
Hard-sided suitcases offer more protection for breakables. If you're traveling only with clothes and other non-fragile items, soft-sided luggage offers more give while packing.
Price is a major factor, too. Hardside luggage tends to be more expensive than nylon softside luggage. That said, there are plenty of budget hardside options, and plenty of high-end softside luggage options made from leather and other premium materials.
One con to soft-sided luggage: Their fabric can be prone to tearing. That's why we think it's important to choose a well-constructed, well-reviewed suitcase.

Best way to find lost luggage: Apple AirTags
If you're shopping for piece of luggage, you'll want to take extra care protecting your investment from loss or theft. One of the best ways to find lost or stolen luggage is with an Apple AirTag. (We recommend hiding the AirTag inside your luggage so thieves don't know it's there.)
Stolen or lost luggage is an increasingly common complaint for air travelers. Apple AirTags will keep track of your bag's location as it makes its way through the airport, and can help you find a lost suitcase, or at least narrow its location to a specific lost-and-found or storage area.
(For more about how Apple AirTags work, check out our article Apple AirTags: How to find your lost or stolen luggage.)
You'll get the best per-AirTag price when you buy a four pack. But if you need only one, single Apple AirTags are available.
