I have always wanted a Tumi bag (remnants of mentor envy from my first job, many years back
). Last year, I was shopping for a new rolling carry-on to use on some international trips I had planned. I shopped Tumi, came close to getting a B&R bag, looked at some other brands I've forgotten by now - but weight concerns pushed me to buy
Eagle Creek in the end. I know it's a more casual brand but that's fine for me. I've used it on Alitalia & Air France, though not Lufthansa. Mainly I bought it for Asia travel - and I got a pretty good deal at the time, so I'm happy with it. (I still love Tumi and B&R - have other B&R bags, and someday I'll find a Tumi to take home^ Just not for this purpose....)
