860 euros for a carry-on. That's what Rimowa charges for the Original Cabin right now. Before LVMH bought the company? 689 euros. And the Topas model? Jumped from 789 to 1,300 euros. A 65% price hike.

Lufthansa flies more than 50 fewer domestic routes per week starting late March. Not eventually. From March 29, 2026, right now. If you've booked one of the affected routes, here's what you need to know: which Lufthansa domestic flights were cut for summer 2026, what you're actually entitled to...

33.4 million bags ended up at the wrong airport in 2024. According to SITA Baggage IT Insights 2025, that costs the airline industry roughly $5 billion a year. Europe is the worst region for it, too. 12.3 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers, nearly triple the Asia-Pacific rate.

A friend of mine, Stefanie, bought an American Tourister Soundbox for about 85 euros. Three trips later, one wheel had snapped off, the handle wobbled, and the zipper got stuck mid-zip at the airport carousel. She texted me a photo of the damage with a string of words I probably shouldn't repeat...

Sixty euros. That's what the woman in front of me at the Barcelona gate paid because her suitcase was 2 centimeters too tall. Two centimeters. I watched the Ryanair staff slide her bag into the metal sizing frame, and it stuck out just enough. She argued. They didn't care. Sixty euros gone.
