So, you're going on your first big vacation and you want to be ready for it. The first thing that you have to do is of course, buy your luggage. But as you go to your local department store, you're bombarded with a lot of different choices. Which should you get? A duffel bag, an upright luggage, a backpack, or should you just get the whole set?

Choosing the right luggage is something first time travelers have to deal with. I know that during my first big travel, I decided to bring a big duffle bag. It turns out I made a wrong decision because going back home, I had to buy a separate luggage because my things didn't fit anymore. Well, needless to say, with the exchange rate and all, I ended up paying more for that extra luggage.

Anyways, ShopWiki has a very good Luggage Shopping Guide that those who are luggage confused should definitely read. They even have a table of carry-on policies from different airlines so you can be guided on the size of the luggage you want to bring in case you don't want to check in any baggage.
