Luggage Works Discount?
 
Is there any sort of Luggage Works discount? Seems like at my last airline gig we had some sort of discount. Maybe I'm dreaming.

Anyway, my old LW bag is in rough shape and I was limping it along a few years ago before I left the regionals and with my current job I just use a small bag. Anyway, is there a suggestion or recommendation on the best LW bag for the Bus?

Unless you’re commuting on RJs and gate checking your bag every week get something lighter.

This website has some good quality Fanny Packs if you are looking for something lighter.

Lol very nice. Light and efficient and protects your sciatic nerve since you aren’t sitting on your wallet.

Definitely Costanza approved!

Just get yourself a TravelPro. FlightCrew 5 22 Pilot. Great bag. Lighter, more internal space, less than half the price. Plus you don’t have to worry about taking out a toe on that ridiculous metal frame or looking like a dork when you travel on your days off. I’ll never understand the attraction to LW.

“Hey Dork, is that a LW bag”

Things I’ve never been asked

The LW stealth/air line is much lighter and very durable. I still have many years left in mine, currently 7 years old.

Agreed. LW just destroy everything they touch. This isn’t an RJ. You don’t need a bag that can survive a bomb blast anymore.

I’ve just come to this realization. Don’t need the lead lined bag anymore. Looking for recommendations

Your bag is in a safe place now...the cockpit of an airbus.

Lol, no one’s asking “what bag is that?” And it’s still like a 12+ pound bag even in the stealth/air series.

I’ve seen quite a few guys with the Briggs bag and they can’t say enough good about it.

yeah but what about the back of a hotel van? Unless you do day turns I would think again.

LW will refurbish your roller bag & send a loaner while it's being refurbished.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact our service department from 8am to 5pm CST Monday through Friday at 417-459-4250.

It’s not like a travelpro or Briggs fall apart as soon as they’re put in the back of a hotel van… They’re made well too.

Aerocoast has flight crew luggage now-

They make quality stuff. Their cooler has held up great for 9 years. Was told their Pro Carbon roller bag weighs 10lbs as is.

Side note- tired of lugging around my LW bag!

Why did you take those nice wheels off of it? 😂

I was short two wheels for my rollerblades. That explains the issue with the LW bag.🥴

You should get some new ones that light up.

Do we have a bunch of limp wristed noodles here?! What’s wrong with the LW bag?? I can’t straight-arm shoot a SPAS-12 like the Terminator, but I can roll a bag….

3:00 mark….

Wasn't there some pilot (SWA I think) that was crowdfunding a line of good bags at a reasonable price?
What ever happened to that?

Sorry, I wouldn't know what to google search for, that's why I'm asking here, I'm sure someone is in the know.

Fairly certain that was the new strong bag.

Watching drivers grunt earning their buck lifting my metric ton of LW back into the back of the van is one of the few guilty pleasures I have left in this job.

The tip was a buck in 1993
