A 24-inch medium suitcase is the size most travelers choose for a trip of about a week: bigger than a carry-on, yet still easy to lift into a car trunk and onto the belt. It travels in the hold as checked luggage. The models on this page stand about 63 to 68 cm (25 to 27 in) tall and hold 58 to 98 liters, and Swiss System, for example, weighs just 2.6 kg (5.7 lb). You'll find hardside suitcases in polypropylene, polycarbonate and aluminum, and softside suitcases in nylon and polyester. When choosing, compare empty weight, volume, wheels and lock, and note that some models expand with a zipper.
Hardside or softside in 24 inches?
Navigator is made of Japanese polypropylene and is rated unbreakable, with reinforced corner guards. Meridian is full polycarbonate, with a top handle recessed into the shell and a burst-resistant zipper. If you prefer fabric, Cosmos DLX is made of 600D cationic nylon with aluminum side guards, two front pockets and 25% expansion, and Swiss System weighs 2.6 kg with zippered outside pockets. Hardside protects fragile contents better; softside gives you an outside pocket and a little give when the case is full.
Dimensions and volume of a 24-inch suitcase
Dimensions vary slightly between models: Navigator and Meridian measure 65 x 43 x 27 cm with 65 liters, Cosmos DLX 67 x 40 x 23 cm with 80 liters, and Swiss System 68 x 41 x 25 cm with 58 liters. Many airlines limit checked bags to about 158 cm (62 in) in total dimensions, and all of these are well under it. The limit to watch is weight, usually 23 kg (50 lb), and a full expanded suitcase can go over it.
Wheels, handle and lock
Navigator has quiet silicone-coated double spinner wheels and a telescopic handle that locks at several heights at the press of a button. Cosmos DLX has eight wheels that spin 360 degrees. If you fly to the US or want a lock security can open without breaking it, Vythor NexGen has a TSA lock, along with a front laptop compartment for up to 16 inches and a USB port, and so does the full-aluminum Premier Pro. Most other models have a built-in combination lock.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 24-inch suitcase?
A 24-inch suitcase stands about 63 to 68 cm (25 to 27 in) tall, depending on the model. For example, Navigator and Meridian measure 65 x 43 x 27 cm, Cosmos DLX 67 x 40 x 23 cm and Swiss System 68 x 41 x 25 cm.
How many liters is a medium suitcase?
The models on this page hold 58 to 98 liters: Swiss System 58, Navigator and Meridian 65, Cosmos DLX 80 and Americano 98 liters. Models that expand with a zipper add more room when you need it.
How many days does a 24-inch suitcase last?
For most travelers it's enough for about a week for one person. For two weeks, winter clothes or two people packing together, consider a 28-inch large suitcase.
Can I take a 24-inch suitcase on the plane?
No. Most airlines limit carry-on bags to about 55 cm (22 in) tall, and a 24-inch suitcase is taller, so it goes as checked luggage. For the cabin, choose a 20-inch suitcase.
How much does a medium suitcase weigh?
Swiss System weighs 2.6 kg (5.7 lb), Navigator and Cosmos DLX weigh 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) and Americano 3.7 kg (8.2 lb). Every kilo you save on the suitcase is a kilo for your clothes within the airline's limit.
Hardside or softside 24-inch suitcase?
Hardside, like Navigator or Meridian, protects fragile items and keeps clothes dry in the rain. Softside, like Cosmos DLX or Swiss System, gives you outside pockets for quick access and a little flexibility when you pack one more thing.
