Buying Guide: Travelling in Style

By December 1, 2014No Comments

Whether it’s by plane, train, or automobile, you’re probably doing a bit of travelling this month. The period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve is the busiest time to get out of town and millions of Americans embark on journeys of 50 miles or more. Many of these people travel even further and while not everyone has the same destination, these traveller’s all have one thing in common: luggage — and lots of it.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the appropriate solution for what they’re carrying. One glance at any crowded airport terminal or busy hotel lobby will reveal how people choose to pack their bags — and what you see will shock you. Pressed suits are stuffed into gym bags…expensive electronics are carelessly transported inside backpacks…school books are getting shredded to pieces by rolling duffels…

And none of this needs to happen.

If you’re thinking of hitting the road this holiday season, here’s the luggage you need to do it right (and save money while doing so because it’s Cyber Monday):

For the student…

SwissGear ScanSmart Backpack

 

If you need to study on your vacation, you’re probably carrying a lot more stuff than clothes. And the worst part about it is you have to carry it on the plane. This backpack makes sure passing through security is as easy as possible without damaging your school supplies. It’s full of well-organized compartments to store your books, binders, and anything else you need. The laptop compartment is also visible so you don’t have to take it out for scanning.

For the professional…

Samsonite Elite Spinner & Laptop Boarding Bag

Work doesn’t always stop when you travel and this luggage set is perfect for those of you who need to bring your job with you. Everything is constructed of stain-resistant polyester fabric and offers enough storage for your laptop, clothing, and in-flight accessories. The spinner bag also features aircraft-grade aluminum handle tubes and super smooth rolling wheels so you can focus on your work instead of your luggage.

For the outdoor enthusiast…

EDC Tactical Assault Bag

If your holiday travel plans include hiking on a trail or camping in the woods, this backpack will protect whatever you stuff inside of it. The main compartment features two mesh and zippered pockets to organize your gear while the two medium compartments help you keep track of smaller items. And because this bag features MOLLE webbing and security straps; you can rest assured your items are protected from the elements.

For the business person…

Samsonite Classic Briefcase

Some of you will undoubtedly be going on a quick business trip this month and won’t be packing any clothes. If you’re more concerned about looking good at a meeting, Samsonite has been providing business people with durable and stylish briefcases for over 100 years. This one in particular features rugged 1680 Ballistic fabric for durability, wrapped bale handles for comfort, and upright handles for easy mobility.

Save on Cyber Monday

All four of the items listed above are on sale for Cyber Monday with savings up to 70% — some of them will even earn you 3X EggPoints! And if none of them suit your style, don’t worry. We have many more luggage items on sale that will not only save you money, but also help you make the most out of your travels.

Have a safe (and stylish) trip!
