carry-on for *A
Any idea the perfect carry-on for *A? I will fly LH, UA, AC & SQ mainly in the coming years....all long-haul in J or F. All 1 or 2 day trips so don't want to take other luggage. No suits & cost is irrelevant.

LH allows 2 carry on bags in F and C, and I anyway, think there is plenty of room to store your bags. Or did you have a recommendation of particular brand of luggage in mind?

Ya, I am looking for a NICE carry-on that will survive global long-hauls. Preferably with wheels. There are just too many to choose from!!

I have used a Samsonite Mobile Office for the last three years and it has served me well. I think it comes in two sizes. There is a pocket for a laptop (that I normally use for shoes!!) and an inner storage compartment. I can normally fit enough in for a weeks worth of business.

I use luggage that is co-branded with Air Canada on it. Bought it at Globo in Ottawa. It is regulation size, fits easily, incredibly sturdy and was less money that some of the "name brand" luggage companies. You even have a choice of colours.
