Carry-On & Wheel Aboard FAQs
What is the airline carry-on size limit in Australia?
Most Australian airlines use a total linear limit of around 115cm (length + width + height) for carry-on luggage. Always check your airline before travel and find out more information from our carry on luggage blog.
What size carry-on backpack should I choose?
A 40 – 50L carry-on backpack is ideal for airline cabin travel and short trips, fitting most Australian airline cabin bag requirements.
What is a wheeled carry-on backpack?
A wheeled carry-on backpack combines backpack straps with wheels and a trolley handle, making it ideal for airport travel and heavier loads. Check out the Caribee Adventure 40 wheel aboard bag.
Are wheeled backpacks better than regular carry-on bags?
Wheeled backpacks are ideal for airport navigation and carrying heavier loads, while standard carry-on backpacks are lighter and more compact. Wheeled backpacks tend to cost more due to the added cost of hardwear included in the bag.
What is a hybrid wheel bag?
This usually means a rolling bag or travel bag that has concealable shoulder straps. A hybrid wheel bag allows you to switch between rolling and backpack carrying, offering maximum flexibility for different travel environments. Caribee has a great range of Hybrid travel bags.
