Baggage or luggage consists of bags, cases, and containers which hold a traveller 's articles while the traveler is in transit. The modern traveller can be expected to have packages containing clothing , toiletries, small possessions, trip necessities, and on the return-trip, souvenirs. For some people, luggage and the style thereof is representative of the owner's wealth.

Baggage not luggage , [2] or baggage train , can also refer to the train of people and goods, both military and of a personal nature, which commonly followed pre-modern armies on campaign. Luggage has changed over time.

Checked Baggage

Historically the most common types of luggage were chests or trunks made of wood or other heavy materials. These would be shipped by professional movers. Since the Second World War smaller and more lightweight suitcases and bags that can be carried by an individual have become the main form of luggage. According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the word baggage comes from Old French bagage from baguer "tie up" or from bagues "bundles". It may also be related to the word bag.

Also according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word luggage originally meant inconveniently heavy baggage and comes from the verb lug and the suffix -age. Luggage carriers — light-weight wheeled carts or harnesses on which luggage could be temporarily place or that can be temporarily attached to luggage — date at least to the s, such as in US patent 2,, "Luggage carrier" by Anne W. Newton filed , published Patents were published for wheeled luggage — a wheeled trunk in , and a wheeled suitcase in — but these were not successfully commercialized.

The first commercially successful rolling suitcases was invented in , when Bernard D. Sadow applied for a patent that was granted in as United States patent 3,, for "Rolling Luggage". These were invented in by US pilot Robert Plath, and initially sold to crew members. Plath later commercialized them, after travelers became interested after seeing them in use by crew members, and founded the Travelpro company, which marketing the suitcases under the trademark "Rollaboard".

While initially designed for carry-on use to navigate through a large terminal , as implied by the analogous name, similar designs are also used for checked baggage. More recently, four-wheeled luggage with casters has become popular, notably since their use by Samsonite in the version of their signature Silhouette line.

These are often referred to as "spinner" luggage, since they can spin about their vertical axis. Sadow attributes the late invention of luggage on wheels to a "macho thing" where "men would not accept suitcases with wheels". Some vehicles have an area specifically for luggage to be held, called the automobile "trunk" in the United States. Items stored in the hold are known as hold luggage.

A typical example would be a suitcase. If travelling by coach passengers will often be expected to place their own luggage in the hold, before boarding. Aeroplanes in contrast are loaded by professional baggage handlers. Passengers are allowed to carry a limited number of smaller bags with them in the vehicle, these are known as hand luggage more commonly referred to as carry-on in North America , and contain valuables and items needed during the journey. There is normally storage space provided for hand luggage, either under seating, or in overhead lockers. Trains often have luggage racks at the ends of the carriage near the doors, or above the seats if there are compartments.

There are differing views between North America and Europe in relation to the rules concerning the amount of baggage carried on to aircraft. In North America there is considerable debate as to whether passengers carry too many bags on board and that their weight could be a risk to other passengers and flight safety. US airlines are beginning to introduce weight and size restrictions for carry-on baggage. Whereas in Europe, many airlines, especially low-cost airlines, impose what is commonly known as "the one-bag rule". This is a restriction imposed to stop excessive weight on board and airlines claim that this policy allows them to speed the boarding of the aircraft.

Airports in Europe have mounted a campaign with the European Commission in an attempt to overturn these hand luggage regulations. Smart luggage is baggage that has a built-in or a removable battery within.
