Leave the Samsonite at home.
Fairly or unfairly, you are judged by where you sit on the plane. Those coveted seats up front board first, deplane first and get hot, occasionally good food, complimentary alcohol and a dedicated bathroom. All this divided by a see-through curtain that demarcates first class from steerage.
While you are traveling, standing out in a sea of those who dress like their children is relatively easy; dress like an adult, abide by the rule that the middle seat has rights to both armrests, and make your carry-on luggage respectable, thoughtful, adult.
Leave others to plastic bags and hand me down pieces that should have been tossed ages ago, and instead opt for something stylish, as travelling is more than just being strapped into a seat.

The Globe-Trotter Centenary carry-on is an instant reminder to yourself that you are different, beating to your own drum. The Globe- Trotter brand has been around since 1897, and for 128 years, worked to perfect what a suitcase should be. Part steamer trunk of yore, part Indian Jones, Globetrotter luggage is elegant yet rugged.
Some say the glamour of travel is in the past, but you can create your own little slice of mystique, a well-bought piece imminently makes a statement, no matter where your ticket or destination takes you.
A Globe-Trotter piece of luggage also lets you skip the overpriced fitted luggage option that comes with so many luxury cars today, and opting instead for this stylish piece, or something larger, depending on your journey’s length.
Traveling takes time and resources, so consider putting all your hard effort into something that lets you stand out while also trying to decide which child you will pass this suitcase to one day. And remind them that anyone over the age of 10 shouldn’t wear pajamas on the plane.
