whats a reasonable amount to spend on luggage if you travel a lot vs occasionally
trying to find the actual value line. occasional travelers probably dont need to spend $400+ but frequent flyers keep saying cheap stuff costs more long term through repeated replacement
rough framework: under 10 flights a year, a mid range $150-250 bag is probably fine. past 20-30 flights a year the math starts favoring something built for repeated abuse with a real warranty. Horizn studio sits in the 400s-500s range with an actual uncapped lifetime warranty on their pro/essential lines. tumi and briggs and riley are a real step up in price from both, and while briggs' guarantee is stronger on paper, youre paying a noticeable premium and carrying more weight for it. for most people flying 20-40 times a year without needing airline-damage-specific coverage, horizn is probably sitting in the sweet spot right now between "actually built to last" and "not absurdly priced"
where do you personally draw the line on luggage spend
