makroftar 0 #1 May 28, 2014 I have to share this with entire world, I AM GOING TO BRAZIL! So, yea, I am pretty excited I started making a list what I need and then I realzed I don't have luggage! I need good quality luggage, which will hold my stuff and last more than just few years like the last one did. So, please, share your opinion, what do you have? Which one is the best?

davjohns 1 #3 May 28, 2014 I'm confused. Your first thought was luggage, so I figured you were a woman. But your last line says you are a guy? If you were a girl, I'd say stick with carryon. Thongs don't take much space. As a guy, I'd say stick with carryon. An additional pair of jeans and a couple of shirts don't take much space. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

airtwardo 6 #4 May 28, 2014 TravelPro or Swiss Army brands are probably what you're looking for. There are different grades of quality in the TravelPro stuff, to get the top of the line you may need to order on-line or go to an airline employee store...extremely well made and durable - lifetime guarantee but NOT CHEAP. That's what my wife uses, travels internationally 3 or 4 times month. I use The Swiss Army stuff...almost as well made but better price & more easily available. http://www.travelpro.com/ https://www.swissarmy.com/us/app/category/Category/Luggage/4000?f=category&v=4/400/4000&m=add& ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,121 #5 May 28, 2014 As a woman, I'd also say stick with carryon. You can get a duffle that will fit into even the mini-turboprops, or a small roll aboard. I can easily fit a weeks clothing into one, and if I launder in the hotel room, I can go a lot longer. If you're moving around a lot that's great.

Traveling to some places it just is better to not have really expensive.. brand new.. stand out gear that attracts the wrong attention that would mark you as a less than well travelled and world wise-savy traveler.

Krip 2 #12 May 28, 2014 Hi AJ I agree with the goodwill option. Not a good time to have a matching LV or Coach set of baggage. I prefer the pillow case or laundry bag with the string on top. On the C130s I used to take a special delight with my 5k ratchet strap making sure all the officers nice luggage was secure.Private jet, limo, own security guards, get the nice stuff. Just make sure its insured. One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TriGirl 268 #16 May 29, 2014 It sounds like you're moving there for awhile? You said you need stuff to last longer than a few years. This indicates you might be taking more than one suitcase? When I moved to Turkey I bought a set of the spinners (doesn't really matter which brand, although I can look at it when I get home if need be). I can maneuver two suitcases with one hand through the airport because of the casters instead of lineal wheels.See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
