<p>I am looking for a really light piece of luggage for D for her trip to England this year</p>
<p>Does anyone have knowledge of really light luggage (with wheels) </p>
<p>The lightest I found was 11 pounds for a 29" piece</p>
<p>Have you tried luggageonline.com? They have some rolling duffels that are less than 10lbs (one I saw was a 32"" and weighed 8lbs).</p>

5 lbs. This one is 36". they have a bigger one too.
Be careful though, about the quality. There were some problems with stitching (sewn to itself) and the bolting of one of ther bottom runners on one I ordered. But the replacement is fine. I haven’t used it yet (its for the upcoming summer 3 week program) so I cant vouch for its sturdiness. It looks like it’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I’ve been using an older version of this bag <a href=“http://www.letravelstore.com/CL20141.htm[/url]”>http://www.letravelstore.com/CL20141.htm</a> for three years now. Mine is a little heavier at 8 pounds.</p>
<p>However, I like a very small bag to travel with, a 20" roller. It fits in ALL overhead bins and I’ve only had to check it once (on one of those tiny commuter jets with no overhead bin). I HATE to check luggage and I hate to drag stuff around, so I pack very lightly. My husband and I used the 20" carryon and a backpack each for three weeks in Europe.</p>
<p>these are good…so I need to talk to D…one leg of her trip is RyanAir, who is pretty strick on weight, so she will have to decide between style of luggage, and having more clothes</p>
<p>RyanAir gives a 44lb wieght limit…so forced light packing</p>
<p>Yeah, and they charge 8 euros for every extra kilo</p>
<p>Looks like the smallest camp inn bag with wheels is 30".</p>
<p>My son has used and abused this 36" bag from REI which is just over 8 pounds. It’s held up extremely well, surprisingly so for the lightweight nature of the bag. </p>

<p>We just flew to England last week on RyanAir (and to Rome over Easter.) Yes, they are strict. Your carry-on is only allowed to be 10 kilos (22 pounds.) They weigh them right there. Make sure they don’t check your other bag through before they weigh the carry on, so you can move some stuff if necessary.</p>
<p>They also have a crate at the security line that a guard might make you put your carryon into, if he thinks it’s oversized. If it doesn’t fit, you aren’t allowed through security and have to go back and check the bag. The man in front of us had to do this, because his carryon was too fat. (Otherwise it fit the dimensions.) So pay attention to the size of your carryon. European carry-ons tend to be a few centimeters smaller than American ones. (They don’t allow handles and wheels as “extra” but must fit within the dimensions.) We bought a new, lightweight carryon for our first trip, because ours were all too big. My H uses a large, rectangular backpack.</p>
<p>Checked baggage costs extra - 8-10 Euros - and can weigh up to 20 kilos (44 pounds.) We always live out of our carryons, but check one bag to hold shoes, extras, and souvenirs we bring back with us.</p>
<p>My H bought a small “fish scale” - an electronic scale with a hook on the end of it, that he carries in the checked bag. That way we can weigh things easily while travelling.</p>
