Samsonite Cosmolite: The Last Suitcase You’ll Ever Need
April 22, 2012
If you’re looking for the best travelling luggage, then you need look no further because the Samsonite Cosmolite is the baggage you have been looking for. As the best hard side luggage on the planet, you will never find another that is as lightweight and sturdy as the Cosmolite.
What sets this luggage apart is the inspiration behind its look: the seashell. After all, not many bag companies have considered the immense strength yet light weight of the seashell. This idea is now the most famous hallmark of the Cosmolite: it is strong without the usual bulk.
Its exterior features have embossed ridges which provide the suitcase its formidable strength. The seashell-inspired cover eliminates the need for a bulkier jacket, while protecting the bag from any damage.
This model did not come by easily; it was a result of 5 years of research done by the Samsonite Company. And the researchers were indeed triumphant, because they were able to come up with a baggage which is strong without the unessential weight.
The hallmark feature of baggage is its exterior made of patented Curv technology, the same material used for making truly tough items (such as a bulletproof vest). This Curv technology makes it the sturdiest on the market.
So how is the Curv technology shell created? This patented case is made with interlocked fibers of polypropylene, which are synthesized in sheets. The sheets go on top of one another to create the bulletproof coating that the luggage is known for.
Apart from the Curv technology body, this model also has other worthwhile features, such as the TSA lock, which keeps your valuables protected (and undamaged, thanks to the strong body!)
Travelers will fall in love with the Cosmolite, because of its cord-friendly monotube which allows the placing of a briefcase on top of the suitcase.
The Cosmolite also has crisscross ribbons on the base of the suitcase, a zippered storage pocket, a zippered baggage divisor, ID tag, blue cloth interior, and an additional handle for better maneuvering.
The Cosmolite is built to last. It has passed several tests which make it the strongest suitcase on the market. One of the tests it has undergone is the drop test, wherein it has emerged victorious even after it has fallen several times.
It also passed the temperature test with flying colors. Because it’s made of a Curv technology shell, your items are sure to withstand the cold temperatures associated with flight. While other bags go brittle through time, you can expect your Samsonite luggage to grow stronger day by day.
This model also aced the tumble test. It was put inside a drum and shaken for more than 50 times. While most suitcases end up in disarray, this baggage went out unscathed. Therefore, it got the A+ mark for seasoned travelers!
The seashell exterior is not the only thing that’s durable. The fasteners, zippers, and other materials have been tested as well, so you know it can last even after millions of times of opening and closing.
In recognition of this model’s outstanding features, it has been given a number of recognitions from international bodies. In 2009, it received the famous Henry Van De Velde Label. The following year, it snagged the Best of the Best Award given by Red Dot Design.
Now, you don’t have to scour the country far and wide for the best baggage because we have the answer to your needs.
Samsonite Cosmolite is so sure of its durability that it gives its patrons the benefit of a decade-long warranty. This is because this luggage is sure to withstand the test of time.

How to Pack a Bridesmaid Dress for a Flight
September 6, 2011
So much goes into planning a wedding that often times the smallest issues can be overlooked. One such example is that of bridesmaids who must travel to reach the wedding. What is the best way to pack a formal bridesmaid dress when traveling by plane? And how do you avoid losing your dress in transit? Below are some suggestions for showing up in your bridesmaid dress as if you just stepped out of the showroom.
• Roll your dress and pack it like a sleeping bag in your suitcase. Once you arrive at your destination, unroll your dress and hang it up.
• Use dry cleaning garment bags, a regular garment bag, or the dress bag that the dress maker sent the dress home in to transport your bridesmaid dress with ease. These kinds of bags are designed to keep wrinkles in clothing to a minimum.
• If extra reinforcement is needed, wrap the bridesmaid dress in a large cotton sheet before placing it in the garment bag.
• When traveling during inclement weather, add a large industrial garbage bag on the bottom to prevent the dress from accidentally dragging on a wet or dirty floor. Do not pin the bag to the dress; instead, pin or tape it to the garment, dry cleaning, or dress bag already covering the bridesmaid dress.
• Call the airline ahead of time and ask if there is any way they can offer a cabin closet for you to hang your dress. They are usually happy to hang a wedding or bridesmaid dress in the first class closet if there is room.
• Consider taking your dress as your carry-on item. Again, check with your airline ahead of time to make sure that the bag with your dress in it will fit in the overhead compartment.
• Rolling your dress up in a carry-on bag is another way to make sure it doesn’t get lost en route and remains wrinkle-free. Not only do you get to keep your it with you for the flight, you can make sure that it’s not getting unnecessarily dirty, tossed about, or trampled upon.
Once you arrive at your destination, unpack your dress immediately. Minor wrinkles should come out by hanging it in the bathroom while you shower. The steam in the bathroom will help the material loosen and creases should disappear. If, however, you still further help, most hotels, cruises, and laundry services offer pressing for a reasonable price, usually under $20.

Tips For Your Family Flight
August 31, 2011
Tips for Your Family Flight
Anyone facing air travel today already has to content with reduced numbers of flights, long waits at security checks, and often unexplained delays. For people flying solo the ordeal can be stressful enough, but for families traveling together air travel is even more challenging. Using these tips can smooth your flight preparations so that your flight itself can be an enjoyable part of your vacation instead of something you must simply tolerate until you reach your destination.
Because you’re flying as a family, it’s essential that you book your flight reservations well in advance of your departure date. Most flights fill up quickly, and you want the peace of mind which comes from knowing that your air travel arrangements have been finalized. Making your reservations early will also give you the best chance of finding a direct flight to your destination. This can be a real blessing if you’re traveling with very small children!
When you start packing for the flight, you should make sure each of your kids has a carry-on bag with some games or books to keep them all entertained while you’re aloft. Once the novelty of being thirty thousand feet above the Earth has worn off, they could easily become restless in their confined quarters so you need something fun for them to do.
For your smallest children you can pack books to read to them, along with one or tow of their favorite plush toys to help them feel secure. Your older kids can bring along their video games, DVD players, playing cards, or books.
No matter what you do don’t forget to pack snacks for your kids. Many airlines have given up their in-flight meals, and the ones which still serve them don’t always have food which appeals to kids. While you can arrive at the airport early enough to get snacks after you’ve cleared the security check lands, airport food is notoriously expensive Your best option is to make sure everyone leaves home on a full stomach, and that you’ve reserved one carry-on bag with a favorite snack for each child.
Remember that the airlines have now placed limits on the amount of bottled liquids you can carry through security. So bring along an empty container and fill it with water from an airport fountain before your board your flight, if you don’t want to spend the money on airport sodas. You don’t want your kids to become dehydrated during your flight.
You can carry a single bottle of formula if you’re flying with an infant. Be sure to pack some formula powder with your baby’s supplies to mix with some of that airport water if you need it. You can also brink small bottles of juice for your older kids, but check with the airline in advance to make sure they’re the right size.
It’s critical, when you get to the airport, that your entire family stays together. Make sure that you kids understand how important it is not to go wandering off, even though they might be excited at all the new sights and sounds. Let your older children share the responsibility of carrying their own carry-on bags, and helping the younger ones through the security checkpoints so they don’t lose things like coins or even their shoes! The secret to a smooth family flight begins with a family functioning smoothly on the ground!

What is a good Flight bag for a private pilot?
August 22, 2011
I’m a private pilot and I’m looking for a nice flight bag to put my things, something that’s not to big.
One that’s just big enough to fit all your materials in with organization. I used to have a Jepp flight bag, it done well, but I am a believer that smaller materials (e6b, plotter) is better, so I got rid of it for just a small side pack. I carry my headset in its factory case and stuff it in once I have it plugged in. Really, anything will work, you just have got to have some sort of set organization in there so you can pull out any necessary items…which you should already have out anyway. The flight bag should be there to just stow the materials after and before the flight, not keep them inside for when you need them.
