The SQTalk Luggage Discussion Thread

[HUGE AL]

I saw this biz traveller arguing with the sweet Japanese security checker. The x-ray showed that he had something like scissor inside his carry-on. And the girl asked him politely about it. But he kept saying it's part of the frame of the carry-on (roll-a-bag), and he had been travelling around the world and no problem with the bag. I tried to see the brand of the bag but failed. It's not Tumi. It's not Somesonite. It's not TravelPro. Anyone knows what brand has metal frame that give indication like scissors? Just curious.

I was more curious about "...the sweet Japanese security checker."

Rimowa

Would the Rimowa be cheaper in Germany or NYC?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.

Would the Rimowa be cheaper in Germany or NYC?

Last time I was at Zurich, it was more expensive than the one I have seen at Kaufhoff in Frankfurt last year. If the US $ is still hovering very low, I assume NYC price would be cheaper.

That was what I thought. Thanks for the quick reply, SQLPP.

I'd go for NYC.

Last May when I checked prices in SFO, it was cheaper than Germany.

However, bought the TUMI at the end.

Thanks for the confirmation, N_Architect.

TUMI, Samsonite, Delsey - what's your fancy?

Just curious on the types of suitcases that SQTalkers use...

Personally I use the Samsonite for my suitcase and a TUMI trolley for cabin..

What about you?

Being in the UK, I thought you liked "order" [said in a strong Brit accent]

Mandarina Duck's the best!

1. I like my empty luggage to be of the light weight range.

2. I prefer Delsey or Samsonite.

3. I avoid Tumi, for fear of my bag being targeted by baggage handlers for "special handling". Or criminals targeting someone who can afford expensive luggage.

I have heard enough stories from friends who were victims to be a very cautious traveller.
