Suitcase
OverallI really like the suitcase. Seems to be well made and easy to use when full.
My only small gripe is it isn’t easy to see the numbers on the lock and sometimes that main lock can sticks shut. A light tap and seems to do something as it works ok after that.
Light heavyweigh
I packed the suitcase up till 30kg, and it still handled beautifully, gliding along beside me. It handles very easy, even when heavily packed. I went through two airports and a city centre twice.
One minus is the clumsy finish on the end-hinges – initially I thought a bit had splintered/knocked off, but then realised it looked the same on the other side.
Although the lock did work well, I get a bit nervous about it not working one day.
It has a few scratches after my travels, but still looks good.
Juste top
Gnial !! Il faut juste avoir un endroit spacieux pour la range .
Return to sensible suitcases
After so many garbage and expensive zipped cases ruined in just one journey over the last 5 years I researched a hard case shell with clamps not stupid zips, this just superb, a 21st century upgrade on my samsonite I purchased in a shop (yes it was 1995 and in Bolton) which is still absolutely perfect.
Summary= If you want a strong large case this is the one, jfdi
Excellent quality suitcase
Love this. I have just packed for holidays. 21kg and still lots of room left if I wanted to pack more. Solid construction and smooth action on the wheels. My Son has now bought one too.
Brillia
This case is brilliant – everything you would expect from a Samsonite case – so versatile with strapping to hold items on one half and a zipped cover to hold items in the other half
I’ve had a very pretty Ted Baker case for hand luggage but was so impractical to pack and find items snd didn’t hold as much
Solid, easy to wheel – overall so good that everyone else in the family has asked me to order one for them
Conforme à mes attentes
Pas encore vraiment utilis. Mais la valise est conforme sa description et est trs maniable. La fonction de verrouillage est trs bien pense
Great produc
Excellent quality. Fast delivery. I bought Navy, much nicer colour and material than the picture shows. Also the lock is great, so much easier than using a zip. Will see if it lasts after my trip. I also checked the price on Samsonite website, it seems this particular one was not on sale. Bargain! The suitcase was very well packed, 2 boxes, double protection. Excellent!
Crew Globe trotter style case
Great case, I have the next size down too, much better than cases with a naff zip all the way around the case , I wish it had a key lock as well as the combination lock but still grea
Great produc
Great product. Is probably as large as a suitcase can be, but with a family of 5 that is very much needed. No zippers to close, rather 3 locking buckles that work really well after you get used the them. I ordered a 2nd slightly smaller size after using this one for a few trips.
Robuste
Je l’ai dj en bleu et j’en ai achet une deuxime pour mon dmnagement
Qualit prix top, super rsistante et je trouve le systme de fermeture beaucoup plus pratique que les fermetures clair qu’on a d’habitude suf les autres valises
Smooth sailing
Very happy with this suitcase. Allows me to own the airport treadmills even with a 25kg suitcase in tow! One thing to take into consideration for any neat freaks out there is that the bag will likely get scuffed over time due to the material being plastic. I really don’t care as long as the contents inside are safe but thought it worth mentioning. Probably best to go with darker colours – I really like the dark blue!
Great luggage for travelling - both sturdy and stylish!
I just purchased this luggage from Amazon. I am really satisfied with how my parcel arrived – suitcase looking very sturdy and also nice, to every little detail. The material looks really well-manufactured, the wheels are so easy to maneuvre and the style of the product is also great!
The locks seem also very secure and easy to use – probably much more hassle-free than the zippers, or extra padlocks. I have bought many suitcases over the years as I travel often, and this one seems to be worth of her money more than any other. Can’t wait to use it for my next trip!
Great suitcase
This is the second of this suitcase I have bought. I haven’t yet used this second one, but it arrived faster than stated. My original one has been so easy to manoeuvre and you can pack so much in it. I wouldn’t buy bigger as I wouldn’t get 2 in my carboot (Golf) and may go over the limit for standard luggage weight nowadays.
Very pleased
Bought it as an addition to our now ageing classic Samsonite plastic case. It’s a nice update, more lightweight than our old one and pretty much the same storage. Certainly strong and sturdy after a long haul flight. Very pleased, i’ve always liked the brand. It’s dependable.
Worth it purchase :)
I’m a frequent traveller and has a need for a really good luggage to keep up with my adventures. I recently bought this one as a replacement for the one I used to have that was damaged the last time I went abroad. Very happy with the quality and the space really. Its big enough for 2 week+ worth of clothes. Very satisfied with Samsonite.
A very large suitcase
This is a a very large suitcase. perfect for cruising; though I’ve only used it on flights up to now.. It has performed without any issues and takes a load of stuff.
Excellent for non excessive packers
Easy to maneuver
Lightweight
But…prob not for ppl like me who over pack…the locks have to align and even a flimsy item can stop it
That’s the only irritating part.
Used a number of times but I don’t take it abroad anymore for the above reason.
Great suitcase
Secure and sturdy – i have several of these suitcases in different sizes. As a frequent traveller i never worry about the bag breaking at all, good capacity. I use combined with packing cube bags for ease.
Perfect suitcase for a long holidays
Very happy with this purchase, great investment! Light, spacious and sturdy. Did 8 long trips with it already and still looks like new. Perfect size for a month-long holidays. Had over 22kg in it and no problem. Only thing the numbers on the lock is difficult to see, I’m having a hard time unlocking it if it is on its side. But maybe it’s a good thing should someone else try unlock it. Anyway, I would highly recommend it.
Solid Rugged suitcase
These are the BEST suitcases around.
The have a good build, and have a complete all around seal.
Do not buy suitcases with a Zip: all it takes is a ball point pen to open the zip with little pressure.
These are nice, simple and strong cases, in all sizes. We already have 4 of them….
Light but well made
Light and easy to handle, with a quality feel. The top surface feels a little flimsy at first, as it can be easily pressed in and out. However, I road tested the case on a long-haul to South Africa and it was excellent. The ‘give’ in the lid ensures that it doesn’t get dented, as it springs back into shape. Surface texture also seems to resist marks (unlike the hard shiny cases). A zipped upper compartment allows you to keep items separate from the main body of the case, but apart from a narrow zipped pocket which runs the length of the main body of the case, there is little additional equipment inside, keeping weight to a minimum. The closures and locking system feel solid and secure and there is a watertight seal around the whole of case to prevent water ingress. I chose a case without a zip closure, as these are always the first part to fail and I have had a couple of disasters with them. This case feels very secure. The wheels are efficient and do not stick out to far, so there is less risk of them getting damaged than on some makes. In the final analysis, you get what you pay for and Samsonite is worth the money.
Noticeably better than the budget brands
This suitcase is clearly superior to the cheaper brands you’ll find on Amazon; Cool life, aerolite and amazon basics e.g. which feel flimsy in comparison, as do the suitcases you can pick up cheaper in TK Maxx. But for 2.5 times the price I did expect it to feel a little sturdier than it does. I guess light weight is more important now with baggage allowances being quite strict. Overall I’m satisfied and it feels like a suitcase that’ll serve me well for a several years but I’ve given it 4 stars because it feels like a relatively simple product like this should be cheaper.
Sturdy case & brilliant locking mechanism
This case has just supported me for a month of traveling on & off planes from Hong Kong to New Zealand, Australia & Singapore. It’s survived the trip almost intact, just one small stratch. The locking mechanism is brilliant & feels more secure than a zip. The only issue is how much you can pack & as a consequence the weight!! so pleased I’d now like a smaller size version as well.
Best case I’ve had. !
Used these 12 times this year already.
Seem to be the best hard case I’ve had in 8 years of travelling 60 flights a year.
The airlines haven’t managed to break them yet. But we shall see.
The colour will become marked and scratched in 1 trip. So really wish I’d of got a darker one now. But I purchased covers to protect.
A bit good!
I stay away most weeks and this travels very well from train to tube to hotel. I bought this because my previous case would only travel sideways as long as I used my right hand… ridiculous! This one is what it should be, a spinner, either hand either direction, does what it should. Worth paying the extra for. My previous one was cheap and cheerful, never again! Would highly recommend.
Super fast delivery
Arrived super fast and was as described. Light weight and easy to use locks. Not travelled with yet but Samsonite are a good hard wearing make so expect good things.
Solid, decent-sized case
Excellent case, particularly for school trips (ok, not skiing trip). It contains a week of clothing if using ‘capsule’ wardrobe. I’d be happy to take it on a business trip, smart, convenient, robust and lightweight with a good locking mechanism.
Great suitcase
This case has been on 4 long haul flights so far. Yes its been scratched a bit and shows signs of abuse by baggage handlers but despite that it still looks great.
Its easy to manouver around at the airport, which for a large case is very important.
The case itself before packing is quite light too.
Despite the locks it has I always wrap a suitcase strap around my cases just in case
Fit for the purpose
The suitcase is very light and simply designed. I had my doubts about the lack of pockets, but turned out actually to be more beneficial this way.
The locking system is easy to use, and I personally prefer locks over zipper. Wheels are sturdy and smooth. The handle is strong. It could extend a little further, but I guess this way it keeps the handle securer under the heavy weight. Very easy to clean.
The suitcase overall quality is excellent!
(I would also recommend getting a suitcasecover)
Great suitcase.
I love this case. It is in a pretty colour which I wasn’t really fussed about but I wanted an unusual one in order to spot it on the carousel. There were nicer colours available but some of them were nearly double the price of this one so happy with the aqua blue. I wanted a giant case as I’m off to the Arctic in February and I want to take my own cold weather clothing as I don’t want to hire.
A great buy!
Very impressed with these suitcases. I bought two and they have just come through three weeks of long-haul air and sea travel with flying colours (no pun intended!). Massive amount of space inside, sturdy yet really lightweight and they are very easy to wheel around on all surfaces apart from thicker carpets.
Good quality - Idiot baggae handle
Had 2 of these suitcases for 3 years, however this time the baggage handler opened the wheel handle by about 150mm, so when it came down the ramp onto the baggage carousel the handle bent and weakened, had to order another for a matching pair and also the overall quality of the case minus airport baggage staff
A perfect size and weight!
We have the X-Large version of this suitcase and required the smaller one for hand luggage and it’s the perfect size! It’s fits nicely in the over head luggage area, no squashing required!
And there is so much room in the case and easily fits clothes, books and snacks!
It moves so easily and is a great quality. It’s definitely worth the money.
Good strong and easily manageable.
Excellent suitcase, love this manufacturers strong suitcases. We still have one we bought 20 years ago, but it only has 2 wheels and a small pulling handle, but is still solid and functional. Replacement purchased due to 4 wheels and long pulling handle.
Help!
This case is beautiful, and very well designed and made.
I asked Amazon to take it back only because I went into hospital and – in the confusion – it turned out that she had already bought a case but I had not been told.
So, somewhat sadly, I returned the case today. However, at the front of a long queue in the post office, the return code (barcode) could not be recognised by either the Post Office scanner.
I was told to ask Amazon to send another code – but has anyone in here ever found a phone number or email for Amazon?
Please let me know if there is any way of speaking to a human in Amazon?
Thanks, in hopeful anticipation,
Peter H
Samsonite is always a safe choice and you can expect good quality. I use this as a suitcase for business trips and take it with me on the plane. A bit disappointed it has no pockets inside, which means I need to carry small things like cufflinks in a separate bag. Otherwise a good suitcase.
Strong and long lasting.
I bought one of these in France in 2016. It has been a joy! Safe, strong and withstands the God awful baggage handlers everywhere I go. I have just bought another one for long haul flights so I have them matching. I’d love a similar in hand carry size but haven’t seen any. Shame!
Great suitcase
I’ve been looking at investing in a new suitcase for a while and spent a time looking into a number of brands/models. Finally settled on this and am very happy with my purchase. The case itself is very light, easily manoeuvrable and secure. On the first use, the suitcase came back with a large dent which easily popped back out again.
The only con is that it’s a shame this case doesn’t have some lining/extra pockets.
Superlight - great quality
I travel for work often for 1-2 nights, this is perfect. Light, the material expands slightly because is not a rigid one and gives you some kind of flexibility without compromising in sturdiness and safety. Still the best brand in this market.
Robust and good quality - very happy
Very robust design lightweight and easy to use. Good quality and perfect size for a week away. Instructions for setting the lock unnecessarily difficult and I had to search on line for help. It was actually dead easy once I knew how to do it.
Good value.
Only used it on the one trip so far. It survived. It was just right for two people on a cold weather trip for about 5 days. The bright colour sets it apart from the black herd of other cases.
Personally I would prefer a pair of good quality inline wheels. I still think that the wheels are a fundamental weakness point and with this model you cannot remove the wheels before you check it in.
2nd case with samsonite
I bought this to replace my big 2 wheeler suitcase which they do not repair anymore. I had 12 years use out of it as a flight attendant and my case went all over the world. This SCure model wont last that long I can tell already. The plastic profile is alot thinner and lighter and a few cms smaller than my classic 2 wheeler. I chose samsonite over Delsey as I’m not keen on zips on suitcases and also their reputation. Amazon did a great price it was on offer!
Fabulous quality, so easy to control.
Whilst cheaper cases struggle and bend, go out of control when wheeling through airports and break, this Samsonite case is sturdy and reliable. Nothing more to say, other than I will be buying another at some time.
Simply the bes
There is no doubting that you get exactly what you expect from a Samsonite case.
As always, well built, lightweight but so sturdy. Does not matter what the baggage handlers do to it, they cannot destroy the case.
Superb, just what I expected.
Will never buy any other make of case.
High quality and great price on Amazo
Huge discount on Amazon from memory I saved about 60 pounds on the 75cm case. I have the same in another colour for my daughter and she has had it about 4 years. I know they last, they are expensive but you can’t go wrong with Samsonite as a brand. They also have a good repair service.
Super Smart, Leightweight.... a bit of a weird locking mechanism!
Really large case this, big enough to a week or two’s holiday for sure. The case is smart, looks and feels very well made but the locking mechanism was a little strange. There are 3 clips, one on each opening side, the main one has a combination lock, leaving the case and the latch itself secure. The other 2, however, were just clipped in place and i worried that they could if knocked release themselves. With this in mind, I bought a very good baggage strap just in case and the combo was strong 😉
If you are looking for a case to just go to and from one hotel, there are cheaper options. For Travelling around or multi centre trips…this is the one. Bought in march 2019, my case has just completed a 2 week touring holiday in Japan. Now has a few scars after being loaded onto trains, planes, hotel trolleys and automobiles. I chose this case because of the triple catch arrangement rather than a zip. Yes a little more expensive but I think inherently a more robust design. Internal compartments are useful to split stuff up for each part of you trip. Recommended for anyone travelling not just going on a fly and flop trip although of course it will do those as well.
So we took this suitcase on its first long-haul journey last month and on arrival I was horrified to find some *serious* damage – huge dents in the front and one of the corners smashed in as well (see pictures above). I complained to the airline who basically said that unless it was cracked they wouldn’t do anything. I was about to write some angry feedback to Samsonite about the case being unable to withstand the rigours of a flight, but something utterly bizarre happened – at some point in the next 24 hours or so, the case seemed to more-or-less pop back into shape! The smashed in corner is still a bit dented, but the front panel looks good as new – aside from tell-tale scrapes that show the rough treatment it had. It was really weird, but there you go – maybe that’s what these suitcases are designed to do?
Looks great! Happy buyer!
From the moment I opened the package and I was happy with what I saw. Very neat and tidy, tested the locks, all good. Looks strong enough to carry weight. Have not tested the wheels yet…but they look good as well. It was a bit pricey but worth every penny! Happy to recommend. The only drawback being…I hadn’t realised that my flight ticket only allowed hand luggage!!! You doughnut! I’ll use it next time!
Nothing better at the price... great quality.
I’m a frequent user of cases like this, and my first one of these lasted around 3 years before the wheels finally wore out! That was through weekly use, sometimes being dragged a couple of miles a day across London. Time for a replacement, I bought the identical one again! It’s a good size, light, decent locks, watertight, can be pulled on thin or wide edge on 2 wheels or all 4. Adjustable handle is tough and very handy. I doubt many will go through as tough a life as my first one has – and I’m keeping it as a back up!
So far so good
First airline trip for case … and even Air France didn’t manage to damage it (and it was only half full). Only 2 minor niggles: The internal cloth pocket seems quite flimsy and not sure what it can accommodate inside without damaging it. So it’s taking up space but not that useful. Secondly, the trolley handle is not that long and attaching a smaller case with a sleeve is more troublesome than with previous Samsonite cases. As I say, minor.
Large lightweight and sturdy
We bought two of these for a trip around New Zealand and they did the job brilliantly and survived undamaged. The real plus is the very lightweight construction but they are also super easy to manoeuvre.
Brillia
I bought the 79L in aqua blue. Holds a Hugh amount. I packed for a month trip and packed my ordinary pillow inside the case. The four wheels make it really easy to roll through the airport. The fabric divided looks delicate, like it might not last as long as the suitcase itself. Lots of people choosing this colour, had to be careful at the luggage collection belt, so I’m going to get a tag to distinguish it.
Sturdy with secure closure
I have a cabin size of this case and have been pleased and liked that it did not have a zip as I am anxious that if the case if full the zip will fail.
All in all am very happy with the case
It Is, What It Is
A straightforward basic function case. No frills but three strong locks. Good internal capacity for size. Strong and easy to keep clean. Rolls well and easy to pick up to put in over head lockers. Good value at Amazon prices but perhaps not so at full retail
GREAT LITTLE SUITCASE
I love this bag and I waited to make a few trips before posting this review. Love the snap closures instead of the zipper. Love the hard case instead of soft. Rolls great. Handle maybe feels a bit flimsy but it has proved to be quite sturdy. I considered buying others because of the expense of this case but feel that I made the right decision spending more.
Strong and sturdy.
Arrived a day early which was annoying as I had specified and paid for a set day for delivery and it wasn’t convenient on the day it arrived. It was purchased as a gift as I currently own two of the same suitcases and love them. Easy to pack, wheel along really easily and smoothly, strong and sturdy and wipe clean. Good choice of colours for easy recognition on the luggage carousel. My only detrimental comment is they are quite heavy even when empty and this is not conducive to airline weight travel restrictions but similar brands are the same.
Great case
I needed a large case to go away for a months trip to Australia. Held everything, the case had plenty of knocks from flying and transporting around the World and nothing broke. Would recommend to other travelers.
Sturdy
Have had cheap suitcases in the past, but you really do get what you pay for. These suitcases are fantastic, have stood up to the rigours of baggage handlers, train guards and being chucked around by coach drivers.
Would buy them again without hesitation and we are actively thinking about some smaller ones to match
Great suitcase. Larger than I need, But it’s better looking at it than looking for it. Its not too noisy when pushing it along. It’s easy to push along even on rough footpaths. I hardly pulled it at all. I didn’t have it half filled so one side was completely depressed when it came out on the carousel, it popped back out without any stress marks very easily. The combination lock is easy to work. One side has a zipped flap the whole way round the other just a couple of elastic straps. You need to remember which side has the flap when opening it up. I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
If you need a Suitcase without Zips then this is for you – it’s pricey but at least you know your contents aren’t likely to get spewed all over an airport through Gorilla’s in the transport bay and easy to break zips. Of course most manufactures and cases are no going Zip only – sad day really but I’ll bet they are cheaper to fit and lasts less long ensuring you’re back with your purse nice and soon to buy another!!
... a lot and this little case has become my best buy in recent years
I travel short haul a lot and this little case has become my best buy in recent years. I can easily travel for 3 nights with this bag and being hard shell, it gives me a little more confidence when the bag must be placed in the hold. Easy to roll, easy to carry and fits perfectly in the over head locker on most planes (except the small cit hoppers used by the likes of BMI)
Big fan of samsonite. Their products are always classy and reliable. I’m moving abroad so needed a suitcase that was sturdy enough to get my things there.
Love the bright colour. It’s super spacious.
Great movement with the wheels.
Handles are super sturdy.
Like the Fact there’s a TSA lock no fiddly padlocks.
Love love love
Excellent case – worth the money. Further comments await using it for real and seeing how well it copes with rough baggage handlers – it looks and feels very robust.
Husband is a pilot and goes through suitcases like no ones business. He swares this is the best case he’s ever used. Said he’d only ever buy Samsonite from now.
No zip means far less hassle and better weatherproofing – rolled for 30 mins in heavy rain without a drop of water entry. Also rolled it smoothly all day long with a medium sized stacked on top, perfect wheels plus an indented side handle that helps the aerodynamics. Due to peculiar circumstances I’ve checked it empty at the airport once, no collapse nor damage. Solid casing.
I have been traveling for business for over 50 years and this is one of the best suitcases I’ve found. I bought it primarily because of its security features and the fact that it is robust and damage resistant.
I had to change my review as this got broken after 4 years of light usage.
To start with, one of the wheels got stuck and it had to be replaced.
A few months ago I noticed that the shell got cracked too.
I am a huge Samsonite fan, but I feel this luggage is below the usual quality.
This is a very good brand. I recommend for the quality and how easy to open/close it. The 4 wheels are just great. The handles are very sturdy including the one to pull the case. The only con I found is the design, it is narrower at the top so I can’t put as much as I used to. A proper rectangle shape would have been better. For sure it will last for years.
This is a quality case. We already have a black version of this case and have used it for years without problem. This red one is one for my wife as she has been jealous. It looks and feels as though it will last. I am particularly impressed by the 3 point locking – there are so many YouTube videos of getting into a zipped case with a simple biro.
Must say we had excellent service from this supplier, which was completed by DPD delivery from Germany
Super light, hard case but flexible, glides over even rough ground, recently did a trip with 2 kids! I always get lumbered with the baggage and Mrs gleefully takes charge of the kids, it’s been a part of the holiday I always resented! Not until these guys! Four cases 2 hands, no issue, a damn sight easier than controlling 2 kids at Heathrow! Smashed into something and got caught on cobbles and I was sure that was the end of one of the wheels and it had snapped off but just some dust to blow away and off we were! Highly durable and highly recommended
This is the second one of these we have. We have had the first for a couple of years and when we needed another case we decided that this was our best one for the price. I like the fastenings better than a zip, it is strong and light and easy to wheel.
I would buy another and recommend it.
Excellent!!!
A really nice piece ok kit -very light, well made and secure. Just what I have always come to expect from Samsonite. It wheels very well on lots of different surfaces whether being used upright or pulled at an angle. Inside its well fitted out with a super padded slot that just takes a laptop VERY securely. Overall you get what you pay for- I have now had to buy another for my wife so be warned!
An excellent suitcase which is very light, seals well with a strong 3 point closure system – much better than a zip, which eventually will let you down at some point. Very good value for a samsonite. The combination lock is easy to operate and the various handles are quite comfortable though you won’t do much carrying as the case is a spinner – 4 wheels – and is nicely balanced – I bought two and recently a further one. 5 stars!
Delighted with this product which we bought as we were going to USA and needed the required locking system and also for trip to South America where robustness and security are mandatory. Had no issues in setting the security code (as long as you are careful), the mobility is ace even on stroppy pavements and capacity was just right. Scored it 4 because of the lack of webbing on one side which has not been a problem for me personally but my wife preferred to have a zipped pocket on both sides.
I love this bag! I now have two, one for my fiance and one for me.
We are cheap flyers and use Ryanair and EasyJet a lot. this bags are very handy. we fit a weeks worth of clothing in the them, plus electronics like cameras and laptop.
I have had this case for about half a year now and have done a fair bit of travelling with it. So far, I am loving it. Although this is a big suitcase (make sure you have a fair idea of the size before you order it), it’s still light and very easy to maneuver. I am a fairly small person (compared to this suitcase at least) and yet have not had any issues with wheeling it around. I find it very sturdy, the locks work great and I think it does a good job of keeping water out. When I travel for more than a week I like to pack as much of my wardrobe as I can possibly carry and this suitcase can usually accommodate most of the stuff I am convinced I need to bring with me. I also love the colour (I have the mint blue version).
One word of advice, if you’re not going to pack it full regularly, you should order the smaller size, as this might dent if not packed to the brim. I have had to leave it half empty on a return trip and my pretty suitcase looked pretty sad when I picked it up. The empty side was a bit dent, but luckily went back to its original shape quickly.
Certainly meets my expectations, proof of the pudding will ...
Certainly meets my expectations, proof of the pudding will be when I actually use it. Looks and feels strong in construction, it will need to be when faced by the baggage handlers. Will post comments after first use..
Have now used it on an American trip. Suffice to say the case stood up well to the abuse it got, judging by some of the unfortunate cases on the carousel. Very easy to handle and very secure with the two side fasteners. One tip to pass on – when they attach the baggage sticky label to the case make sure it adheres well as the surface is slightly dimpled and the label if not firmly attached may come off. Would recommend the case to anybody…
Both my wife and I got new smaller cases at the same time to comply with what seems to be a tightening up of allowances by some airlines. We did get different colours though, to avoid the risk of cross dressing at our destination. We checked these into the hold on an EasyJet trip but there seemed to be plenty of other passengers with cases of at least equivalent size in the cabin. So far only one trip but both cases performed well and stood up to the rigours of baggage handling with no more than a few scratches. The locks seem robust enough to withstand the risk of them breaking open in transit and the wheels are still on after being dragged over the cobblestones of Florence. The cases are light for their strength so don’t absorb too much of the baggage allowance and they were big enough for us on a one week trip. Overall they live up to the good Samsonite reputation.
Bought from Marken Koffer. Arrived very quickly by DHL and was well packaged, excellent service. It is a very strong looking well constructed case. Moves easily on the double wheel system. Looks good. I would recommend. 29/10 UPDATE: After one summer of use and 5 return short haul flights my impression of this case just gets better . It is showing no signs wear or distress. A useful additional benefit of this case is the 20Kg limit imposed by many airlines. The 20Kg restriction leaves plenty of interior volume so your clothes are not packed too tightly and creasing is minimised. It’s almost fun moving it around the terminal!
