If someone is on a budget and just getting on at Frontier (and isn't subsidized by family) then there are plenty of other affordable options that will last many years.
One Luggage Works (PurdyNeat) bag. Purchased in 1999, refurbished once for $125, and still going strong. Its the M1A1 of the luggage world. I'd estimate 1 out of 3 airline guys has one. The rest have a smattering of varied brands that are prob replaced every couple years. Cost of ownership for me is $28/year. Do your own math and make your own decision.
