Why Travelpro Luggage® Is Pulled Around The World By Airline Crew Members

Take a look around the airport the next time you travel. You'll see Travelpro Luggage® used by most Pilots and Flight Attendants.

Hi, I'm Pilot Paul. I've been a Captain at a major U.S. airline for fourteen years. I've been traveling professionally for well over two decades. I have lots of experience with luggage and have been a user of Travelpro luggage® products since they first came out.

My airline provides Travel pro luggage® to all our flight attendants.

I bought one of Travelpro's ® very first models of wheeled suitcases. It was truly a great new product. This wheeled luggage meant the end of my back pain from carrying around a heavy suitcase and flight kit bag.

I have a bad back, and if it wasn't for Travelpro ® , I might have had to find a new career. Travelpro® pioneered the wheeled suitcase market and have continued to improve and innovate. When they first came out, these suitcases didn't last as long as they do now. I am very hard on my luggage, and I got two full years of nearly constant use out of my first Travel pro ® suitcase. It finally wore out, but that was from my habitual over-packing which strained the zipper.

The newer models of Travelpro luggage ® will last much longer than that original one did. One of the great things about Travel pro is that they have responded to the traveler's feedback and needs and continually improved their products. That's a big reason why they boast over 425,000 flight crewmembers use Travel pro ® .

Their newer models have a minimum of a three year warranty, and some models have limited lifetime warranties.

Fro the average traveler, this translates to many, many years of service.

While my first wheeled Travelpro ® suitcase wore out after two years, I'm still regularly using a wonderful carry-on tote made by them that I've had for nine years.

Here's what eBags, one of the largest online retailers of discount Travelpro luggage ® says about them on their site:

"With each passing year, Travelpro continues to satisfy the ever-changing needs of the traveling public. Travelpro's reputation is built on the most contemporary designs, light-weight materials, nearly indestructible frame construction, and durable, top quality components.

More than 425,000 flight crew members worldwide put Travelpro products to the test, day in and day out. Travelpro...Pilot designed, flight crew tested."

In that luggage buying checklist, I point out one of the best features I've ever seen on any wheeled suitcase.

Their Platinum Series ® handle that adjusts to the pulling angle.

This makes for less stress on your body and greater mobility. It really makes a difference in pulling a heavy load.

The Travelpro platinum series® is the line with the limited lifetime warranty.
