Smart Luggage for Travelers
The unfortunate downfall of most luggage brands is the already-heavy bulkiness that accompanies most of their products. If your suitcase weighs 10 pounds before you’ve put anything in it, you’ve got a problem. Not only are airports notorious sticklers for accurately weighing the bags you check, but then they’ll slap you with a $50 dollar fee if it’s as little as one pound overweight. Don’t wind up getting hassled by airport employees, stop the problem before it starts by being a smarter shopper.
Coleman lightweight luggage is an ideal selection for any traveler. Great for senior citizens, people with back problems, kids and people of a petite stature, lightweight luggage makes traveling easy. Never again will you strain yourself carrying or stowing your bags. And to make it fun for everyone, the luggage is offered in a variety of colors and designs.
Tips for the Inexperienced Traveler
As an avid traveler, I’ve become accustomed to the hustle and bustle of people, airports and security that accompany any vacation where it’s necessary to fly. I consider myself an observer as I make my way through the terminal, watching the rest of the population struggle to walk and carry their bags at the same time. Although somewhat amusing, I feel sorry for these people as they try to survive the chaos of airports. So, as an expert voyager I think it’s best that I share my knowledge and experience with those who fall below par.
For the sake of everyone’s attention span, I’ve condensed my advice into a short list of tips for the inexperienced traveler. Here we go. First and foremost, arrive to the airport on time! And when I say on time I mean at least an hour-and-a-half before your flight; remember, all flights board 30 minutes ahead of their scheduled departure time. Secondly, don’t purchase cheap luggage – and when I say cheap, I don’t mean inexpensive. The last thing you want is to have your poorly made or tattered suitcase losing a wheel or handle as you scramble through the airport. Inexpensive luggage sets that are also durable are easy to find. And finally, if you don’t have to check your bags, don’t! If I had a quarter for every time an airline has lost or damaged my luggage, I’d be close to retirement.
