Few years ago, my husband and I was traveling through Europe and we took the train, me being a newbie on European train got my metis stuck between the closing door… I panic, mind went blank and I try to “yank” yes I tried to yank as hard as I can to pull the bag out… and my husband turn around and hit the “open” button… I looked at my poor bag that I just brought not long ago and looked at my husband and was like “WTF” hahaha I still have the bag, it survived , there is a little dent mark on it from me trying to yank it, but nothing to cry over and yes I still use the bag. So, yes I use my bag for traveling all the time. On plane, on train, on bus and all. It’s a bag, if I don’t use it who will??

All my luxury bags go directly under the seat on the plane. Even though I always bring LP when I travel it is usually folded in the suitcase to be used if I need extra space for my shopping (yay!) or wet clothes. I abuse all my bags, luxury or not. I put them on the floor (plane, train, bus, stations), on rough ground, etc. But LV is durable so Im not worried.
This thread is reminding me to pack a nice nylon shopping bag to put my LV crossbody in for my next trip because I cringe every time I have to put my LVs naked on the conveyor belt. I never put it on the floor under the seat -ew! If the flight attendant makes me put it down, I rest it on the tops of my shoes or between my legs until it can return to my lap.
on my last flight I packed all my lv bags in the neverfull gm and took them on board as hand luggage. I stowed it over my head there. my concerns before the last flight were whether I should pack my bags in the suitcase, so I decided against it. since I have only made 1 long flight because of my dogs, I lack the experience for this. I took the keepall with everything I needed for the 24-hour journey and put the hyde park in my suitcase. basically, I'm also of the opinion that bags are there to be used. I also put them on the floor and everywhere. if i was overly cautious i would only take my lv bags for special occasions. my car is also a commodity. I buy things to enjoy, to baby them would cause me stress.

I don't put expensive things in my checked luggage. I usually carry a keepall or trolley that holds my valuables. When I take like and Epi Speedy or Multicolor Speedy or any bag I don't want to get folded I carry it inside my Keepall and but other things inside. I try not to stuff my bags under the seat in front of me.
I don’t put any bags directly on the floor. Just the thought of people’s feet, vomit, who knows what else, grosses me out 
. I have a lined travel duster that I put my bags in for the floor and also the conveyer

If you are in the "baby you bags" camp, avert your eyes.
I took my chances and brought the Keepall 50 on an international flight. It is about 3/4 full, so somewhat maluable. It barely fits under the aisle seat. I had to shove it with my feet. I will not be reaching in for items needed in flight.
Is also doesn’t fit easily on top of my 22 “ Samsonite spinner. I have only flown with it before as a single piece.
I just found a Speedy 40 in Epi (so really more like a 42). I think that will make a better personal item for flight.
Maybe I will sell my mono 50, or not. Not sure.

Thanks to this thread I raced to get my first Longchamp bag from the Nordstrom fall sale for upcoming long weekend travel. 
I snagged a LC neo tote with crossbody strap from the Nordy sale too! I plan to use my new tote instead of my NF GM. The zipper top makes me feel a bit better when navigating through the airport. Have a safe and fun trip!View attachment 5574002 Thanks to this thread I raced to get my first Longchamp bag from the Nordstrom fall sale for upcoming long weekend travel.
Oohh nice score! I agree sometimes it’s nice to feel like you have that extra protection. Hope you have a great trip too!
