College Travel Gear

In the process of selecting luggage, travelers have been concerned about balancing practicality and style - choosing bags that are durable and hold what they need while also making a positive fashion statement.

As more charges and restrictions are placed on what travelers take with them on flights, size and weight are beginning to matter a lot more. In the past two months several airlines announced that they would be implementing new charges for checking bags. U.S. Airways is adding a $5 surcharge to its fee for customers paying to check bags at the airport (rather than online). Delta Air Lines will now bring its second-bag fee to international travelers.

These additional costs for air travelers are making an impact on what they take with them. The trend is for bags to get "smaller and larger". That is, travelers are selecting smaller day bags and compact cases that fit in the plane's overhead compartment; or they go big with one large, wheeled travel bag that they can fit more into, allowing travelers to check only one bag.

Due to the weight restrictions on any checked bag, the manufacturers (such as Swiss Army Brands) are developing lighter, stronger bags that hold more but can easily be carried and does not have to be checked.

Style is still key and offering our bags decorated with university logos is a big step towards distinguishing your bag from everyone else's. At CollegeLuggage.com we think that showing your team spirit is the only way to fly.
