Some of you have asked us what we recommend for luggage. Without a doubt, there are two pieces of luggage that have literally traveled over a million miles and are still in great shape. You don't need to spend a fortune on durable luggage. Just ask the experts! These are the two 'essential' pieces we recommend:
This is the Samsonite
Oyster 29" Cartwheel. It comes in a variety of colors. It is a
durable piece of luggage that keeps the water out (gasket around the
perimeter) and contents intact (hard shell). It has two wheels, a side
& top handle and the proper center of gravity for easy pulling. The
best part of all is price. If you buy from an e-tailer like ebags.com,
you can get this one for about $90 with free shipping. You can read
the reviews for yourself... all positive!
This
is the Travelpro FlightPro 4 22" Expandable Rollaboard Suiter. This is
one of those bags that DOES fit on the aircraft. Most of the other
bags out there are much too big as the feet and handles stick out.
Also, the other ones are built cheap and the pull handles love to bend or
break. The investment on this one is more... about $180 with free
shipping. A perfect bag for a 2-3 day trip.
