On 13 January, BA announced the news of an auction of two of the special, limited-edition range of carry-on suitcases, created to honour the retirement of its 747 fleet. Globe-Trotter has been a favourite of travel connoisseurs since its establishment in 1897, with the new collection marking a pairing of two legendary British brands. Indeed BA and Globe-Trotter have long been closely associated, with the luggage manufacturer becoming the go-to for BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) crew in the 1960s.
