I bought my Wenger at either TJ Maxx or Ross. It's quite roomy but not too tall so it fits under the seat in front of me. It's a computer case with wheels and I paid around $45 for it. Of course, stock is constantly changing at these stores, but if you keep looking you can probably find something that fits your needs.

Last year we replaced our carry on luggage.

I believe we got Delsey.

I searched the web for luggage and checked the specifications where weight was listed.

I found the lightest one available and then went to different luggage stores to have a look.

Delsey had expensive and also cheaper ones that appeared to be very similar, other than how long they were guaranteed for. Being now 77, I was not impressed by a 10 year guarantee.

No doubt the cheaper ones are of a lesser quality but I could not determine that. Since my luggage gets beat up regularly, I opted for the cheaper pair.

We went to Costa Rica and four of our excursions had a very low luggage limit so we checked our larger cases at our hotel and depended on our cheaper rolling carry ons. No problems.

Once I determined pretty much what I wanted, I found that the luggage stores could not compete with the larger department store in my area.

I got black [not much choice] and then painted a large [6 inch square] Initial on each side using white paint.

I do this on all our luggage to be able to easily spot them.

I then purchased "security" locks that can be opened by airport security. I lock all our luggage all the time when they are in the hotel room. Empty or full. If someone wants to search my cases, I do not want to tip them off as to which to try, being the locked one since an unlocked bag suggests nothing there to worry about.
