Tis the season for travel, and if you are heading home this holiday season, be it by plane, train or automobile, you will want all of your cherished belongings and gifts for the family to arrive in one (damage-free) piece. That is why the Hudson’s Bay Canada one-day sale on the 2-piece sets of Samsonite Phoenix hardside luggage is so appealing to us travellers, as not only are these bags guaranteed to get us through security scratch-free, but they are also $440 off their original price; only $129.99 for two bags!

You can either get the Samsonite Phoenix with the hardside covering at this price, which are really good bags if you want something durable and long-lasting, or you can pick up the Tribute soft-side 2-piece luggage set for the same price of $129.99 (was $530).

The Tribute soft-side bags offer what the Samsonite loses in supplying you with the hardshell casing; that is, the option of stuffing your bag to the brim with the expandable zippers and soft-side casing. The decision between the two, since they are both the same price and approximately the same dimensions (19.5″ x 14″ x 9.5″ 29″ for the larger bag, and 28.5″ x 19″ x 11.5″ for the smaller) will come down to what kind of packer you are: the one who carries breakable goods and isn’t all to careful with their bag, or the pack rat who just barely clears the maximum weight load when flying.

The Hudson’s Bay is also offering a great deal of other luggage pieces in this one-day sale, though these two sets are probably the best bang for your buck.

Shipping and handling is free at the Hudson’s Bay when you spend over $99.
