A totally appropriate question. Mostly for intercontinental routes, as often as possible in Biz. For shorter, briefer routes within Europe (especially UK, I know they can be tough) I can use an old, compliant bag I already have.
As for airlines, I live in Madrid so for travel to the US, Iberia, Delta, US Air or United. For travel to the East I try to use Virgin or British (in that order) but also use Lufthansa and Swiss. In my dream world it is Singapore Airlines, but that has happened only rarely.
