Suitcase Recommendations

DD will be playing with an exhibition team for a few weeks in China this Summer. They have been asked to pack as tightly as possible for flights and trains rides between cities. I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for a decent piece of luggage they have used other than the typical suitcase. I found a pretty standard square soft-side suitcase that her bat (34") will fit in diagonally, but wanted to see if anyone knows of any more efficient options before I buy this.

Thanks

No recommendations, sorry.

1st thing I would look up the bat and metal spike rules if she wears them. Both plane and train.

Good luck to her.

I have nothing really useful but any time I think of luggage I think of this

Not sure if this helps, but a catchers bag has lots of extra space in it! She used it as a checked bag when she flew since you cannot carry-on a bat and they do not fit into a standard size suitcase.

My entire family now has Travelpro Crew series luggage.

They are kind of spendy but I have found deals on the older Crew series- I don’t know what number they are up to but for example I bought Crew 10 when the Crew 11 was out or whatever. I think I got most of it from Travelpro Outlet dot com or a similar site.

Edited to add:

I had time to look this morning, here is the website: https://tp.factoryoutletstore.com/cat/57164/Travelpro-Crew-Series.html

I have a carry on size Crew Rollaboard Suiter. There is a section where you can put hanging clothes in and they travel wrinkle free. I almost always use that feature.

Everybody else in my family has the same size with spinner wheels. There is a little less interior room in the spinner suitcases. We also have a few big checked bag size suitcases. They seem huuuuuuuge after many years of traveling with only carry ons.

I have put a ton of trips on mine in last 2-3 years and it is holding up well.
