Gifts for Travelers: Luggage
Every traveler needs luggage. And the reality is, despite those 10-year or lifetime warranties, it wears out. Sometimes, it’s a matter of taste or preference changing, finding that the luggage that once worked no longer does.
Right now a lot of travelers are re-thinking their luggage choices in response to the “no liquid” rules.
Whether it’s a new roller bag, a carry on bag, toiletry case, or brief case, luggage would make a great holiday gift.
Here are some things to take into consideration in making a luggage selection:
- What type of travel does the recipient do? Short two-day business trips or 10-day international treks?
- What type of clothes do they pack? Casual, no frills attire or business suits?
- Do they check luggage or carry it on? U.S. airline regulations limit the size of carry on luggage to roughly 22″ x 14″ x 9″.
- What is their color preference? Black is conservative, yet versatile, but since it is easily confused with all the other bags, there’s a proliferation of colored luggage now available.
- Is the traveler independent, carrying their own bags and handling their own arrangements? Or do they depend on others to meet them, carry their bags, and chauffeur them where they need to go.
Answers to these questions will help you make decisions about size, weight, and durability factors of a luggage purchase.
There are lots of retail and online locations for luggage purchases. A popular site with airline crew is eBags. They carry a wide variety of bags at competitive prices. You don’t have to be a crewmember to shop there, although they frequently do have discounts for airline personnel.
