Have you ever seen an airline agent pull out a tape measure?

I don't know, where are you? I strongly recommend, if you are getting a duffel, that you should get one with 3 wheels and not 2. The extra wheel in the middle helps so the weight won't bend down the middle and start ripping.

A duffel with 3 wheels will be very close in weight to a regular luggage

I like traveling with the $30-$40 30" long duffels that Costco sells.  Pretty light, can fit a ton of stuff inside, and they can fit into smaller spaces than traditional luggage.

I have really enjoyed some good solid Lands End luggage. They also stand behind it for Life. I usually buy them on sale.

Just saw two different ones at Costco that were good quality -- one was a lightweight hard shell, and the other a normal bag.  Both with the spinning wheels...don't remember the price - one of them was part of a set
