Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking about upgrading my old soft suitcase for some upcoming trips, and keep seeing people talk about aluminium luggage bags. I finally grabbed one from Branded Luggage the other week just to try it out, and I have to say it’s kind of a game changer. It feels super sturdy, and I don’t have to worry as much about it getting beaten up on long flights. The wheels roll really smoothly, too, which I didn’t expect from something that looks so heavy-duty.
That said, I’ve noticed it does scratch a bit more easily than I thought it would, and I’m still figuring out the best way to pack efficiently without it getting too heavy. I’ve been using packing cubes, which helps, but I’m curious if anyone else has tips for keeping an aluminium bag light but organized?
Also, how do you all handle checking them in on long-haul flights? Any horror stories or tips to avoid damage? Would love to hear what you’ve learned from using these bags worth it in the long run or overhyped?
