Samsonite. Luggage is going to get beat up either way. Might as well get something that can withstand getting beat up rather than just tear apart.
I'm looking to buy some luggage, not terribly expensive seeing as it's going to be beat up by the airlines, but decent. What brand would you recommend or not recommend?
I have Samsonite soft side luggage. They have been to a lot of places and are holding up excellent.
Carlton Airtec. The best and toughest luggage you can buy. It's not outrageously expensive either. I have one case that has probably done 100 airports and 2 million miles. It doesn't look new anymore :) ...... It has outlasted dozens of lesser cases....
