Luggage needed - some help please

I need to get some luggage to take some things on a plane. We have 2*20kg or maybe 2*30kg allowances but on luggage to cover this trip. I have been looking at the Marks and Spencer 3 for 2 offer on their value range of suitcases here http://www.marksandspencer.com/Value-Luggage-Hard-Rollercase-Large/dp/B002DEQ9S8 Works out at £79 for 3 large cases although I'd like a discount code as well !!! Had a 10% and 20% recently but used already.

Of course I'd love some top of the range stuff but fair price and fair quality are the order of the day. Large size but could perhaps be convinced by a set.

  • You don't say when you are going but if you can hold out until the New Yr then go to Primark. I brought the best case that I've ever had from there and it's so handy as it has 4 small wheels so you can just glide it along and only about £29 ! My friends Mom was so impressed that she wanted one too and my friend had to go to Primmark to get another one and take it back with her on the next visit.
  • Can't hold out past a couple of weeks and need to have them before the end of the month as flying on 29th November.

    Just out of interest, why would I have to wait until the New Year to go to Primark ?

    Because in a store like that it's a seasonal thing, just like swimwear for example.
  • Saw cases in Primark just the other week - not sure if it was those ones though.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
  • have a look at the Tripp website - can recommend their stuff and they have mega reductions just now

    as an example

    also free delivery over £35 order and in my experience delivery has been very swift

    TKMaxx is a good place for branded luggage. I've had Antler cases and others from there :)

    Our M&S cases have broken very quickly. The zip went on one whilst we were away and we had to buy a new one whilst abroad, which was inconvenient and costly. So I'd avoid them in the future.

    Debenhams often have good offers on good brands of luggage, worth looking on their site.
  • I would second (or third!) the recommendations for Tripp luggage - I use mine pretty often and it's proving quire robust. If you are anywhere near an outlet village that has a Tripp outlet (like Cheshire Oaks) then you can get them even more cheaply.
