Travelpro suitcases make an emphasis on selling to airline staff. The products they make stand up to the rigors of everyday travel. Airline staff is the hardest to please when it comes to luggage and Travelpro suitcases take the challenge every day.  Their claim is that 425,000 airline pilots, stewards, stewardesses, hosts and hostesses take their Travelpro suitcases with them every day.

A Travelpro exclusive is the honeycomb frame which is lightweight and indestructible.  The foot stop has won a lot of awards because it makes the luggage tip proof. The wheels are hidden in a new wrap around wheel housing.

Travelpro founder Bob Plath developed the wheeled carryon bag. He was a pilot himself and he sold Travelpro suitcases to his colleagues at heavily discounted prices. When the passengers saw these they also wanted the convenience of not having to carry their bags. It was a great marketing technique that yielded great results.
