There’s a suitcase that Jana Frawley, the Content Direct at Escape, absolutely swears by.
It’s not one of the fancy expensive suitcases she has tried through the course of her career as a travel editor. It’s a $90 suitcase she bought from Aldi.
“The cult-like devotion travellers have to their Aldi luggage was the only selling point I needed when I needed new suitcases,” Ms Frawley said.
“It was four years ago and I got a black, soft, medium-sized and carry-on wheelies suitcase with TSA-approved locks. It is the smartest $90 I ever spent, and given the number of trips I do and the punishment my luggage gets, it’s the best luggage I’ve ever had.”
The good news is that very same suitcase is returning to Aldi this week, as part of the supermarket chain’s “Travel in Style” Special Buys (in store Wednesday, June 9).
The ultralight two-piece suitcase set ($89.99) is available in navy or grey and includes a 79cm and 68cm suitcase.
With sturdy wheels, a strong extendible handle and tough exterior, it’ll become your go-to luggage set.
Our other top pick from the curated Special Buys collection is the foldable duffel bag ($14.99) which is perfect for throwing in the bottom of your suitcase to cart all your excess shopping home.
Other standout items include hand underseat carry-on bags ($39.99) and packing cubes ($9.99).
There are also super cosy travel outfits with knit sweat hoodies ($14.99), knit sweatpants ($14.99) and a terry tracksuit ($24.99).
For a comfortable plane journey there’s a quilted travel blanket ($29.99), memory foam travel pillow ($16.99) and flight socks ($24.99).
On the tech side of things there are wireless earbuds that seem to be a bit of a bargain at $89.99 and a travel adaptor kit.
To keep you looking chic on tour there’s a compact steam iron ($49.99) and travel hair dryer and straightener ($14.99 each).
