What’s The One Thing You Could Not Travel Without?

Is there one thing that you absolutely could not travel without? In a perfect world — at least our world — everyone’s answer would be Travelpro luggage. Ah, but the world isn’t perfect, and opinions do vary. (But we’re sticking with our answer.)
Many travelers wouldn’t last a day without their laptops. More and more of us depend on our PCs to organize both our business and personal lives, and we require continuous access to the Internet.

Such devotion works to Travelpro’s advantage, since we offer a wide range of durable luggage, each designed to safely transport these precious laptops. Platinum 7 and Crew 8 Business Plus Rollaboards are especially popular, as are our “Checkpoint Friendly” Computer Briefcases.
Both the Platinum 7 and Crew 8 models feature padded laptop pockets that provide protection and easy access during security screening. And, Travelpro’s “Checkpoint Friendly” briefcases and backpacks allow you to pass through security without the hassle of removing your laptop.
Another item most travelers couldn’t do without is their “smart phone.” In fact, many business people use iPhones, Blackberrys and Androids in lieu of their laptops on short trips. These phones provide Internet and email access as well as GPS navigation, photography & video capabilities, and thousands of other “apps.”
Austin House, a division of Travelpro and leading brand of great travel accessories, offers a number of accessory items that many people find indispensable. For example, the Austin House Travel Scale with Built-in Tape Measure enables travelers to redistribute belongings before reaching the airport, avoiding both overweight baggage fees and unnecessary frustration at the counter.
Another popular accessory is a set of Pressure-Less Earplanes. These specially designed ear plugs relieve air pressure during take-offs and landings. They’re recommended for cold and allergy sufferers, travelers with sinus conditions and those sensitive to air pressure changes.
Other leading Austin House items include the Flash Drive Combo Lock which protects personal and business information while traveling , the Universal Adapter Plug which is compatible with electrical outlets in more than 160 countries, and the Inflatable Neck Pillow which supports the neck and relieves tension during long commutes.
For most of us, there are a number of things that we can’t travel without, and many of them come from Travelpro and Austin House.

Finding The Best Luggage
August 25, 2010 by Scott Applebee · 2 Comments
With the wide range of premium quality luggage available, do you wonder which bag is right for you? It all comes down to your preferences, which are usually based on how often you travel, the type of trips you take and your budget. The first step is to review the styles available.
Roll-Aboards: With models available throughout Travelpro’s collections, rollaboards range from carry-on to larger check-in sizes. Carry-on size bags will fit in the aircraft’s overhead bin and help eliminate the cost of checking your bags at departure, and the headache of retrieving them upon arrival. In the U.S. a carry-on bag must measure no more than 45 linear inches (the sum of the bag’s length, width and height). Larger size bags are great for long/extended trips.
Travelpro’s innovation that revolutionized travel worldwide, wheeled upright luggage allows you to pack for a week without having to carry the weight on your shoulders. Today’s rollaboards, or rolling uprights, feature inline skate wheels and a telescoping handle.
Business & Laptop Cases: If you’re a business traveler, you’ll appreciate the fact that Travelpro’s line of nylon business and laptop cases are lighter and more durable than leather cases. They store and protect laptops, private documents and other business materials.
All Travelpro cases meet carry on size restrictions and many are available in rolling models. Many new cases are also “Checkpoint Friendly,” eliminating the need to remove the laptop from the case as it’s scanned at airport security.
Totes: Smaller bags which are ideal for outings and overnight trips, also make an excellent companion piece for longer trips. Travelpro Totes are available in several styles, some with shoulder straps and some in rolling models.
Duffels: These durable, soft-sided bags provide both capacity and convenience on long trips. They are available in rolling or non-rolling styles and in carry-on or check-through sizes.
Garment Bags: Considered portable closets, Travelpro garment bags are popular with travelers who want to keep their suits, dresses, and other clothing wrinkle-free. Garment bags are available in both rolling and non-rolling versions, and in carry-on and check-through sizes.
Whatever your travel plans, whatever your luggage needs, Travelpro has the bag to suit you. You can check out our website, or use Travelpro’s Retailer Locator to find a retailer near you.
