The Holiday Gift Guide: Glide into gifting

Start with who you're shopping for. Pick a traveller at the top of the guide (Frequent Flyer, Business Class, Weekend Warrior, Family Packer, Pro Organizer or Plus One) and the guide narrows to the luggage, bags and accessories that suit them. You can also shop by price, by colour or by sets.

Match it to how long they usually travel. A carry-on covers trips of 2 to 7 days (up to about 7 outfits). A medium check-in suits 5 to 7 days (up to 11 outfits), and a large check-in suits 7 to 14 days (up to 16 outfits). Sizes vary a little by collection. See our guide to luggage size.

A carry-on is the most useful pick. The Frequent Flyer tile shows carry-ons from Platinum Elite, Platinum Reserve, Maxlite and Optima. For Air Canada, Porter, Flair and Air Transat, the Platinum Elite International Carry-On is sized to meet their 55 x 40 x 23 cm carry-on limit.

Carry-on limits vary by airline. The Platinum Elite International Carry-On is sized to meet the 55 x 40 x 23 cm limit of Air Canada, Porter, Flair and Air Transat; larger carry-ons suit airlines with bigger limits. Airline limits mean the overall size, including wheels and handles, so compare the Overall Dimensions on the product page. Check your airline's size limits.

A medium check-in is sized for the 158 cm (62 in.) linear limit (height + width + depth) most airlines follow and holds about a week of packing. A large check-in holds up to two weeks but can go over that limit: the Platinum Elite 29" Expandable Spinner is 170 cm (66.8 in.) with wheels and handles, so check the airline's oversize rules. Most airlines also cap economy checked bags at 23 kg (50 lb), and the Platinum Elite medium and large weigh 4.4 kg (9.8 lb) and 5.2 kg (11.5 lb) empty. Read our checked luggage guide.

An UnderSeat tote or rolling underseat bag is a personal item sized to fit under most airline seats, so everything they need in flight stays at their feet. It's a smart gift for travellers on fares that allow only a personal item, or as a second bag next to their carry-on.

Sets pair matching pieces, such as a carry-on and a check-in suitcase, in one gift. Tap Sets at the top of the guide to see every set.
