luggage advice -- traditional or duffle

<p>A couple years ago I found Victorinox at Tuesday Morning at unbelievable prices. The thing I like best–and will not buy another piece without–are the spinning wheels. They enable you to turn your luggage and roll it the ‘thin’ way through the aisle in the airplane and they’re just so easy to manuever. Once I hurt my back midway through a trip I was taking solo and I was still able to wheel my bag, albeit incredibly slowly, because of the wheels that enabled me to turn the bag 90 degrees. </p>

<p>I also like that this luggage has a front outside pocket that is deep and large enough to hold several magazines…and a smaller outside pocket on top that’s the right size for my very full baggie with liquids and phone charger. DH’s favorite bag has two smallish pockets that are the same size and I appreciate mine all the more the few times I’ve had to use his (these are the suitcases that can be carried on). </p>

<p>Finally, if you’re getting a coordinating small bag to go with your new suitcase, my new discovery is getting a bag that has a flap along one side that enables you to slide the smaller bag along the telescope (?) handle of the suitcase. Walking through the airport (or anywhere) just pulling the one handle without juggling a big over the shoulder bag at the same time makes travelling so much easier.</p>
