I've been going back and forth between the two in my head and I just can't decide. Just last night I decided on taking my camping pack on my trip to Europe this summer/fall, but then today I realized I wouldn't be able to lock it like I would with a suitcase when I check it in...... OR can you??? What do people usually use when they travel around Europe? I'm planning on visiting about 5 countries maybe? Haven't really decided yet.

And has anyone had an issue with losing your bag while traveling around Europe when you check it in?
