Garment Bags

Garment bags uses simple plastic or nylon that would fit over clothes, featuring a hook at the top for hanging. These bags are long and cumbersome to carry and store, particularly for airline travel. Newer garment bags are easier to handle because they are designed to be bi or tri-folds. Being more compact, many garment bags now qualify as carry-ons by the airlines, and a tri-fold bag slips easily beneath your seat. There are also larger caddy-style garment bags that can be pulled along on rollers, but these must be checked with suitcases and other luggage.
