My name is Enda McLarnon, and I manage and update this website on a regular basis. My wife and I love to travel and we found that one of the major parts of that was buying luggage. We have lost track of the amount of luggage that we have been through over the years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the early days luggage was pretty much the same, no matter what brand you bought. We had bought cheap suitcases, expensive ones, good brand ones and even a few that only cost about \u00a310. We also have a real thing about the way baggage handlers treat your luggage&#8230;but don&#8217;t get me started on that!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we counted it all up, we have spent hundreds of pounds and have thrown out more broken luggage than enough. We learned a few things along the way though, and that is what we wanted to share here on the News Website.<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of website owner Enda McLarnon\" data-id=\"16\" width=\"337\" data-init-width=\"3072\" height=\"252\" data-init-height=\"2304\" title=\"Enda 004\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/luggagenews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Enda-004.jpg?resize=337%2C252&#038;ssl=1\" data-width=\"337\" data-height=\"252\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Picture of me at Niagra Falls<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The same luggage is just not suitable for everyone. Some people like the convenience of wheels, others prefer something they can sling over their shoulder, some like light bags that don&#8217;t use up all the luggage allowance, others want different colours and some want matching sets.\u200b<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">On this website, we will review and pull together as much information as we can on what is available and which pieces of luggage get the best reviews. There is a lot of information out there but trying to find it all in the one place is not that easy. To help with that we have also provided a number of comparison tables where we place the best rated products right at the top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope that you find the information here useful and helpful and that our own holiday and travelling experiences can help improve your own travelling adventures. If you have any questions or anything you would like to share with us, then pop over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/luggagenews.co.uk\/contact-me\/\">contact page<\/a>, and leave us a message.
