Your luggage

If I had to purchase new luggage for my next overseas trip I would buy an excellent quality backpack with 70 liters capacity. It would have been made by an great company and I would get it from a huge well stocked camping shop. It would be lightweight and have a superb back system. I would purchase a new day pack as well that I had put at the top of my new main backpack. Most travelers on planes have suitcases and few have backpacks. Therefore the color wouldn't matter but I wouldn't choose green just in case some locals get mistaken and think I am from the military. I go for durability more than cost. I would like my backpack to last for over ten years.

I travel by air quite often. Yes, I always take along the luggage which can be identified easily by the color. There is the name tag ofcourse, but it is better to be able to identify from a distance as the luggage comes on the conveyor. In fact, I prefer to take strong and durable cases, because I sometimes have to take along my work related files and documentation, which get fairly heavy.

Hi there here are some of my requirements. * Wheels - this makes it it easy to wheel an often heavy suitcase around the airport ect... * Durability - this is one of the most important factors. Suitcases are expensive but you will save in the long term if you buy a good quality suitcase. * Color/pattern - The suitcase doesn't neccessarily need to be bright but it should have a distinctive handle, pattern ect.. As long as you can easily indentify it on the conveyor belt then it should be fine. Remember you can always tie a cheap ribbon onto the handle of your suitcase to indentify it quickly. Even more important than choosing a suitcase is remembering to buy and fit security locks onto all the zips you have stored items in this is for security and so that things don't acidentally fall out.
