So it’s time for new luggage in 2011. There are several things to take into consideration when selecting luggage, after all, it is an investment and you hope to spend many years traveling together.
One of the most important things is comfort and convenience. Next, think about what type of traveling you will be doing. Is it family travel, business travel, adventure travel or perhaps a combination of all of the above. We also recommend that you take airline carry on limits into consideration when purchasing new luggage. It’s also a well-known fact that if you can carry on your luggage, you can avoid waiting around the carousel for our luggage to go by, or worse yet, avoid it from being lost when you are on connecting flights.
For this post, I will focus on carry on luggage. Although this information may change at any time, the basic guideline is that your carry on luggage must be no taller than 22 inches, no wider than 14 inches and no deeper than 9 inches, but of course it’s not only the size that matters these days, in most cases airlines have imposed a maximum weight restriction on carry on luggage as well. Air France & British Airways have the lowest weight limits at 26.4 pounds. Virgin Atlantic is currently at 35 pounds, and American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta, United, US Airways and Northwest list 40 pounds as their maximum weight for carry on luggage. When shopping online, keep an eye out for an eBags coupon code to save you money off their already discounted prices. eBags Coupons makes shopping for carry on luggage easy, as they have a section filled with 50 best sellers. We have listed the top 5 for you to browse below.

Selecting right bags is very important. Make sure that the bag which you select is of good quality other wise you end up having to buy them more often. Remember that the airlines throw the bags around so you want something that will hold up.
Nice collection of bags.
I have always bought inexpensive luggage and it only lasted about a year. Last time I bought a nicer set from ebags and they are three years old and going strong. Thanks for the ebags coupon code and the great travel tips.
It really is a challenge to chose the perfect luggage. I travel a lot and I have 3 different carry on luggage sizes, depending how long the trip will be . So I already know when I start packing what luggage size I need.
