Luggage
 

The airlines mangled another suitcase on a recent trip.

I just read a review in Money Magazine and they really like the Eagle Creek Tarmac ES25, which has a lifetime guarantee, which includes airline damage.

Does anyone have any comments on this suitcase, or recommendations for another?

I'm not familiar with Eagle Creek, but I have 21" Briggs & Riley which also has a lifetime guarantee for damage from any source, airlines included. I've used it extensively and really like it - have no complaints.

I was looking at luggage at Costco today. They had a bag that was their own brand and on the tag it showed a comparison chart of how it held up against various other brands. Looked impressive. I don't have that bag though, so can't personally comment. I have a Skyway that I have had for about 12 years that has taken quite the beatings and still is in great shape.

Anyone else?

We got that Costco bag (22" expandable) for our daughter who was a FA at the time and needed to replace her TravelPro, that had finally worn out. It is a very nice bag. We have Atlantic 22" expandable that I got at Tuesday Morning about 5 years and MANY trips ago. I love it. It was $40 I think.
