The Luggage Blog

Here’s a little something to jump start your return to business as usual after a holiday weekend. Look closely at what the flight attendants, shown here in an Air New Zealand airline safety video, are wearing.

We found this informative video on The Middle Seat Terminal, a great travel blog from The Wall Street Journal. Sit back, relax and enjoy…but do pay attention for some helpful air travel tips!

Upgrade: Travel Better posted this video that pretty much sums up the state of air travel lately.  It seems that the comedians of the 70s forsaw the grim future of aviation…

Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Carol Burnett.  Enjoy.

The TSA just posted a video on their blog to clear up any confusion that still might be out there about checkpoint friendly laptop proceedures for those of us who don’t like to read.

And if you’re still looking for where to buy a checkpoint friendly bag, look no further.

Sharon Laudenbach, President of LuggageOnline/Robinson Luggage shows how you can pack into one suitcase in order to save on second checked bag fees.  Overpacking is the biggest mistake that people make.  So here are some important tips that Sharon suggests:

• use pack-it accessories…they are key to organization and wrinkle-free
• pack your heavy, bulkier items on the bottom
• be sure to color coordinate all of your accessories to match
• use all space…such as packing accessories/socks inside of your shoes
• think LIGHTWEIGHT
• use a luggage scale before you leave for the airport to make sure you aren’t close to the 50 lb. weight limit

Enjoy! ^_^
