Tips to make your luggage last longer

• Never leave the zipper pulls at the corner of a suitcase. Instead, try leaving them in the middle of the case. Luggage receives more blows to the corners than anywhere else. Your zippers will thank you.
• Avoid dragging luggage up or down stairs, this wreaks havoc on the handle system and wheels.
• Don’t load heavy items on top of wheeled cases, causing strain on the handle system while rolling. Instead use the ad-a-bag strap for heavier items and put the lighter items on top. This will also take the load off you and more over the luggage wheels.
• Pull away, not in, while zipping around a corner of your luggage to get a much smother zip.
• Never pick up your trolley from telescoping handle, always use its top carry handle, corner handle or side handle.
• Always close all the locks (preferably TSA locks) - open locks could be a threat and cause damage to your luggage.
• Some airports have provide passengers with a plastic protective cover machines that will cover your luggage such as hard suitcase, trolley for a small nominal fee and is the best investment to protect you luggage for scratch and damage.
• If you have to overload your suitcase it's a good idea to use a suitcase belt. Too much pressure can sometimes cause your suitcase to open up by itself. Also use vacuum space saver bags or Eagle Creek pack-it folders to create more room.
• Make sure you keep a copy of the number of your combination lock on any luggage case you own.
• Detach and store all shoulder straps and ad-a-bag clips when checking your baggage. If they don’t get lost then they will most likely damage your luggage.
