<p>my heuristics in life is buying whatever the top 1% most frequent user buy, because their lives rely on the good working most of the time<br>

<br>

most NYC/CHI pilots and flight attendants use Travelpro (and they use transit to the airport) soft top rollaboard. Platinum Elite is great</p>

<p>It's not just luxury hotels that are a scam, it's almost everything that's luxury that's a scam<br>

<br>

Gf bought Rimowa suitcases, expensive and supposed to be better quality than regular ones, but of course they're much worse<br>

<br>

They keep breaking, like all of them, cracks in the handles, cracks in the sides, it's just cheap plastic shit but it costs $1000 or more<br>

<br>

Rimowa was bought by LVMH in 2016 which has an average profit margin of 66% and whose strategy is to increase prices by ~5x, decrease costs by ~5x and then create artificial scarcity (limited availability per shop) because people want what they can't get (not me though but many)<br>

<br>

LVMH is kinda like the luxury version of private equity, it makes everything more expensive and worse and hard to get!</p>
