Effort-Saving Suitcases

These Smart Travel Bags are Perfect for Non-Punctual Travellers

— August 15, 2013 — World
As an avid traveller, Trend Hunter editor Jamie Munro knows just how useful some smart travel bags can be when rushing to catch your flight. To spread her advice around, she's picked out her five favorite time-saving luggage pieces to help even the least punctual travelers make it to their gate on time.

Jamie's favorite creation is a scooter/suitcase hybrid. This rolling suitcase can be transformed into a rideable scooter, allowing travelers to scoot around the airport at twice the speed of walking, allowing them to catch their flights on time.

Another of Jamie's favorite bags is a suitcase that can charge smartphones and other electronics. If you forget your charger at home, or your battery runs out of juice right as you get to the airport, this suitcase has its own outlet and generator that can charge your phone while you're on the go.

If you're planning to do some travelling before summer ends, these five smart travel bags are sure to help you make sure your vacations run smoothly. Whether you need a suitcase to get you to your destination faster, or one that comes with a comfortable blanket to lie on while you're waiting, these effort-saving suitcases are suited to your needs.
