Luggage for Air Travel

[SkyRibbons]

I need to buy some luggage for Jet Blue; I was told that Marshall's / TJ Maxx has some good deals.   Any suggestions?  My daughter is leaving next week for Calif., and she's a petite one.  What styles work well?

I gott a good one on rollers @ TJ Maxx for about $50 a few months ago.  Don't  remember the brand, but check with the airline for dimensions.  They are not all the same.

Happy Travels!

We love our local TJ MAxx for good luggage deals-- DD got an ultralight tilt-roller and I got a spinner bag.  The spinner hard-shell is heavy (~8 lb) but it protects items inside very well.  For DD's size, though, that tilt-roller bag was great.  Her fully loaded bag only weighed in at about 32 lbs.  Empty, that one is only about 3lbs.  I think we paid $45 for it at TJ Maxx. 

The other thing that I loved is that both of our bags are SO distinctive.  Very bright and colorful prints, so easy to pick off a baggage carousel.

I bought the largest airline proper sized bag with wheels I could find at Marshall's.  It's a nice purple-ish color with lots of compartments for $90.  My daughter had to pack for four weeks in California, but she was over by 7 pounds.  She transferred her blowdryer and hair straightener to her boyfriend's bag, and she was good.  Hair care is important to her.

The bag will be perfect for our trip to Disney.
