WATCH: Memorial Day travel surge expected to reach record post-pandemic numbers
As more Americans receive the COVID-19 vaccine, travel is increasing around the country.
Whether you're hitting the road or catching a flight this summer, you want to have the best bag by your side.
"I am a big believer in traveling with the perfect carry on bag. For me, the features that matter the most are being lightweight, full 360 spinner wheels and a USB port so I don’t have to look for a plug when I’m waiting at the airport," Emily Kaufman, The Travel Mom, told "Good Morning America."
Another key to a great trip is also staying organized and knowing you have everything you need.
"My insider tip is no matter what luggage you choose, packing cubes will make your packing more efficient and organized," Kaufman said.
