The warranty wasn’t bullet proof as it was only for 5 years and didn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t have a problem…but anecdotal evidence told me that TUMI was very good at dealing with issues. When I first started traveling frequently I chose TUMI as my preferred luggage brand partly on the recommendation of a friend, partly because I like the ballistic nylon of the Alpha carry-on but mainly because of the warranty that came with the luggage. I’ve always bought my cases when there has been a great offer available so I’ve never spent the ridiculous amount of money that these retail for….but I’ve still spent a lot. ….which I confess I still really like – it works for me and fits in most overhead compartments relatively easily.Īnd, for my checked luggage I’ve had TUMI Vapor cases for a number of years: My carry-on is the TUMI Alpha 2-wheeled case…. This means that the luggage I take on my longer trips has to be able to stand up to the abuse that various airlines and baggage handlers are bound to inflict on it.įor quite a number of years my preferred luggage brand has been TUMI. ….and I’d rather wait at a baggage carousel than hang around a local laundry wherever it is I’m traveling. Laundry charges at the JW Marriott Singapore Unlike a lot of heavy travelers I check baggage on my longer trips – I prefer to wait at a baggage carousel rather than pay the extortionate fees hotels will charge for laundry service…. As a result I take quite a bit of care when it comes to selecting the luggage I carry around with me. Probably not as much as some who read this blog (I tip my metaphorical hat to you guys) but more than most people.
