Weekender – The perfect companion for short breaks
Are you planning a short break or a weekend trip and looking for a practical and versatile piece of luggage? Then the Weekender is the right choice for you!
As the name suggests, the Weekender is designed to provide space for clothes and belongings for a weekend or a few days. With a volume of 30–40 litres, the Weekender is smaller than a large travel bag. Its extremely practical pack size means that the Weekender is easy to carry and can be stowed away easily in a car, on a train or as hand luggage on a plane. But despite its compact size, the Weekender makes no compromises on design or functionality, so you’ll be perfectly equipped for your next trip!

Choosing the right size
The following size guide will help you choose the right suitcase size based on the length of your trip and your personal packing needs. This way, you can quickly find out whether a compact carry-on suitcase is sufficient for a short trip or whether you’d be better off opting for a medium-sized or large model for longer journeys.
What are the maximum permitted dimensions?
The 158 cm rule sets the maximum permitted size for checked-in luggage on flights. This does not refer to a single edge length, but to the so-called circumference. This is calculated as the sum of the suitcase’s width, height and depth. In practical terms, this means: you measure your suitcase along its three external dimensions (including wheels and handles) and add these values together. The result must not usually exceed 158 cm for the suitcase to still be accepted as standard checked-in luggage. If this measurement is exceeded, the luggage may be classified as bulky luggage depending on the airline and incur additional charges.
| Suitcase size | Duration of trip | Suitcase height | Volume | Hand luggage |

| Suitcase size S | Up to 3 days | 50–55 cm | 35–50 L | Yes |
| Suitcase size M | Up to 7 days | 60–69 cm | 50–80 L | No |
| Suitcase size L | 1–2 weeks | 70–79 cm | 80–100 L | No |
| Suitcase size XL | 2–3 weeks | from 80 cm | 100–140 L | No |
