Suitcases and trunks
Luggage is the bags and suitcases a traveler carries, containing clothes and personal items.
The word is uncountable—you have luggage, not luggages, and a single item is a piece of luggage.
Luggage suggests bulk and burden, from the verb lug: We had too much luggage for the overhead bins.
