As noted by others, TravelPro.
Unless you need it now, wait a bit. Luggage is a common spring graduation gift making seasonal deals hard to find. Dillards in BTR carries a nice selection but wait until August for decent prices. Nordstrom Rack is always discounted, but selection is very thin. My experience with online shopping is that brands and styles don't quite match store versions. Wheel quality is where I see this.

LOJEL

Japanese brand ... great medium and large sized options. And better looking.

eBags. I’ve had suitcases from them I’ve sent on 700 flights and I still have them. I had to replace a wheel assembly on one of my 27” bags, which they shipped me, and I replaced in four minutes. And they don’t cost $400.


I also have eBags and have traveled a ton with them for the last 12 years. I have the soft sided ones and have never had a single problem.

Just bought 2 TravelPro Medium Check in Soft Side bags from WOOT for $188 each, they list on TravelPro for $365.

PS. they still have them listed under Sports & Outdoors-Luggage and accessories.

Bags arrived yesterday and they are high quality, not disappointed and will see how they handle on nest upcoming trip.

The hard sided Riwoma look cool but they don’t seem to take abuse well considering what they are branded as.


Rimowa is nice AF (and luxury priced) but I wouldn't use it as a check in that'll get destroyed, only a cabin size that doesn't take as much abuse.

travelpro is arguably best bang for your buck.

I have a black, boring Travel Pro backpack. It is perfectly suited for traveling, and I've traveled with it for at least 15 years. I keep waiting for it to break or tear so I can get a fancy one, but it is bulletproof. I'll probably carry this thing on the last plane ride I ever take.

Was watching one of those TV shows To Catch a Smuggler and they were checking out someone who was sketchy A F. Didn't find anything, then he rode away.
