Zero Halliburton’s Sleek Pursuit Aluminum Luggage Collection Is Fit for James Bond

Traditional rollaboard luggage is fine for most everyday travel. But, there are times in life — say, when you’re smuggling diamonds or safeguarding the nuclear football for POTUS — that require something more. Enter Zero Halliburton’s Pursuit Aluminum Collection.

Every bag in the new collection is sleek, durable, and luxurious — the result of two full years of intense design, development, and testing. The brushed, anodized aluminum exterior features a tasteful matte finish that’s handsome without trying too hard. Sharply rounded corners and patent-pending ZH Concave Edging are functional additions that help minimize abrasions and other damage in transit while adding to the distinct, upscale look. A tasteful, textured pattern embedded into the aluminum not only looks great but also aids in hiding vertical scratches.

The Pursuit Aluminum Carry-on and Travel cases sit on a sturdy ZH Chassis that rolls on ball-bearing wheels for agile, ultra-smooth movement that’s quiet and effortless. Minimal, featherweight components throughout ensure every bag is as light as possible. Indeed, the mid-sized Continental Carry-On Case weighs just 12.5 pounds empty — respectable for a durable aluminum rollaboard.

Zero Halliburton incorporated other unique touches that are both modern and timeless. Sculpted, concave ribbing on every case in the collection recalls the lines of vintage sports cars. For the rolling cases, high-gloss ergonomic pull handles are a nod to the classic design of the company’s mid-century cases. A magnetized leather ID cover hides each bag’s unique serial number. Even the rounded security lock latches — otherwise functional, but ordinary on most luggage — feel classy and upscale.

In 1938, Zero Halliburton introduced the world to the first all-aluminum luggage. It’s a design that persists to this day, having inspired decades of copycats. With the Pursuit Aluminum collection, the brand builds on more than 80 years of experience to seamlessly blend elements of vintage luggage design with high-end modern materials and features. Although the new collection is distinct, it slots neatly into Zero Halliburton’s current ultra-high-end lineup.

Zero Halliburton’s Pursuit Aluminum Collection is available in three finishes and four sizes, with the smallest attache case starting at $455. The full-sized carry-on and checked bags price closer to $1,000.

Airbus A350 inspections mandated after in-flight fire
EU mandates Airbus A350 inspections
Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000

Following an in-flight fire on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350 on Sept. 1, Europe’s aviation safety agency required an inspection of fuel lines on some Airbus A350s. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) made the announcement Sept. 5 after the incident on the Hong Kong to Zurich flight, which may have been caused by a leaking fuel system. A Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine powered the airplane in question.

After the Sept. 1 fire, Cathay Pacific inspected the engines on all 48 of its A350s and determined 15 needed new fuel lines. To conduct the replacement, the airline canceled 90 flights. The EASA mandate covers A350-1000s powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine, with 84 planes in service. Depending on engine history, inspections must take place within three to 30 days.

This is why off-season travel to Cape Cod is better than traveling in the summer
Take advantage of the shoulder season in Cape Cod
Ocean Edge in the Fall

We've all been in a situation where we go on our much-anticipated summer vacation only to be lost on overcrowded beaches, starving in backed-up restaurants, and left out of sold-out events. When you decide to go to a popular destination, you find out really quickly why it is popular when you experience all it has to offer. But you have to contend with said popularity by going elbow to elbow with seemingly every other summer traveler in the country. This is a common occurrence on Cape Cod. While it is a quaint little destination just outside of Boston, it has an interesting history that puts it on the map for tourists. From John F. Kennedy to Peter Rabbit, it is steeped in American history, drawing visitors from all over every year.

But that doesn't mean you have to contend with the crowds if you want to get the full experience of the northeastern gem. We got a chance to sit down with Brendan Carey, Director of Marketing for Ocean Edge Resort, who is making a concerted effort to turn what was once a summertime hotspot into a year-round destination. "We always knew the non-peak seasons - or sweater seasons as we call them - offer a quieter and more serene experience while still being lively when you know where to look," he says.
