Even with traffic on the 405, it probably would have taken at most three hours for Victoria Pardo Uzitas to drive from her home in San Diego to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to see a performance of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Instead, she and her teenage daughter crossed the border to Tijuana, flew to Mexico City, enjoyed classic tacos al pastor and churros, saw a Frida Kahlo masterpiece at the Museo de Arte Moderno, and yes, saw Taylor Swift.
Calpak Luggage Review: Is It Worth the Hype?
29.09.2023 - 13:29 / cntraveler.com
Calpak first caught my attention when I got my hands on its popular Luka duffel bag that had previously racked up a 44,000-person-deep waiting list. It quickly became my favorite weekender bag of all time, accompanying me on all of my NYC weekend getaways to New England and the Jersey Shore, and as my personal item on several flights I took this year—and that was only the beginning of my love affair with Calpak. Since then, I've tried out a variety of bags and travel accessories from the brand and I've never been disappointed. As a chronic overpacker, I look for smart travel gear that offers me ample space, pockets, and ways to stay organized on the go—and Calpak gets it. And my fellow Condé Nast Traveler editors agree: Calpak is consistently designing reliable and functional luggage that gets the job done in style.
Something our editors love: Calpak has luggage for every type of traveler, whether you're an outdoor enthusiast requiring durable, water-resistant gear or a commuter who needs comfortable bags that are just as protective as they are aesthetically pleasing. And even better, Calpak proves you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get quality luggage that won't break or dent after one run-in with baggage handlers' less-than-gentle care.
Our editors spent the last several months testing checked suitcases, carry-ons, weekenders, and backpacks from top-selling brands as a part of our first-ever Luggage Week. Among those brands was Calpak, the Los Angeles–based travel brand I've come to rely on, not only for long-haul flights, but for day-to-day, too. Below, we've gathered the best of the best from Calpak: the essential suitcases, weekenders, backpacks, and travel accessories that are absolutely worth the hype. If you're on the hunt for some new travel gear ahead of your next adventure, these are the suitcases and bags from Calpak we recommend bringing along.
This article is part of Condé Nast Traveler's first-ever Luggage Week, for which dozens of suitcases, backpacks, and weekender bags were road-tested by our editors.
What we love most: The exterior pocket keeps your laptop protected.
Dimensions: 14" x 10" x 21"
Every traveler needs a go-to carry-on they can bring just about anywhere. This sleek, hard-sided carry-on features a protective front compartment that's designed to fit tablets and laptops that are up to 16 inches. Calpak's carry-on is the perfect combination of functional and stylish, with dual spinner wheels and a TSA–approved lock. Inside, you'll find two main compartments, multiple side pockets, and compression straps that help you pack a few extra outfits. This carry-on is a favorite of executive editor Erin Florio: “The inner compartments make it really easy to organize all

TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and Clear: What’s the Difference?
No one enjoys wasting their time in long airport lines—especially when there’s an exciting vacation at the other end. Fortunately, there are programs like TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and Clear that can save travelers valuable time and hassle at the airport. Before takeoff, TSA PreCheck and Clear allow travelers to go through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security lines faster. After landing, Global Entry speeds up checks at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) international checkpoints. All three have their own designated lanes, if they’re available at the airport.
