Pick a colour that suits your personality and character.
WHETHER you’re on a business flight to your next million-dollar deal, or flying first class to that remote island getaway, there’s something more important than what service you’ll get at the exclusive airport lounge or what fancy menus are being served by the flight attendants – and that’s whether your luggage is doing all right or not.
You’ve got enough to worry about already – flight delays, customs and immigration lines, turbulence – that you really don’t want to worry if your luggage and everything inside are going to arrive in one piece.
Besides, this isn’t the 1800s. You don’t have to be lugging a travel trunk. Yes, those were sturdy, spacious and durable, solidly constructed and built to withstand the rigors of carriages or being bounced about in a ship on the high seas. But they were also heavy, unwieldy, and are wholly impractical for modern day travelling.
Traditionally, hard-sided luggages are the most heavy-duty bags but they weigh a ton and you’re practically dragging them behind you. Conversely, nylon bags are superlight but are hardly tough or secure. So what sort of checklist should you have when selecting your luggage?
Here’s a guide for every business, leisure and frequent flyer who’s looking for quality and luxury while travelling and exploring.
Durability
Cheap, mass-produced luggage can seem like a bargain – until you find your bag damaged or broken, and you’re forced to buy another suitcase. What you want is to invest in luggage that can resist the roughest baggage handling at airports and hotels over your lifetime and the lifetime of the bag.
Samsonite manufactures its luggage with a revolutionary material called CURV bolstered by a reinforced design that gives each case extra strength, especially at all four corners where the first and likeliest signs of cracks and breakage often occur on unbranded bags. The patented shock-absorbing shell design is based on the ripple effect, which is also associated with modern architecture.
