Samsonite Europe

Sponsored by the famous hundred-year-old luggage company of the same name, this is a lively site, even offering an online puzzle to identify the make and style of a mystery bag and win a free piece of luggage. Unfortunately, this takes place over a number of weeks, and if you can barely identify your own suitcases at the baggage claim, don't even attempt it. If you're uncertain what you want, browsing this site could take longer than driving to a shop and buying your luggage there. An online or postal catalogue is available, which may help with decision-making.


SPECIAL FEATURES


Hot Products Of The Month highlights new luggage series, with a special section on computer cases ranging from backpacks to briefcases and sleeves.


Find Your Favourite Travel Companion isn't as exciting as it sounds, but does allow one to browse for the ideal suitcase.


Product Catalogue allows you to choose the type of luggage you're after from drawings, further refine your choice, and then view photos of match-ups. The only problem is that it is sometimes difficult to tell if there are extra pockets or zippers from the photo. The travel gadget section is by far the most interesting since it offers everything from converters to locks, eye shades, umbrellas, and passport covers.


Travel Centre is a handy section that links to Samsonite's online travel magazine Focus On, and also offers links to transport, hotel, hostel, and villa rental sites. They also offer links to other sites for travel magazines and books.
