SamsoniteUpLIFT 27" Lightweight Hardside Large Checked Luggage with Spinner Wheels - Expandable Luggage - Airline-Approved, Polycarbonate Hard Suitcase for Ultra Lightweight Travel - Elemental Blue

With the new size restrictions of 22x14x9” for airline carryon luggage, I had to ditch my Delsey, which btw, I love; it has a depth of 10”. I researched if the 1” extra would be a problem on airlines and for every one of them, including foreign airlines, it was a solid yes.After reading so many reviews on Amazon and on the internet comparing lots of luggage, I decided on this Samsonite because of the company’s longstanding reputation.This carryon fits 22x14x9” airline standard. And yes, the 5lbs that it states in the description is pretty accurate. The shell is very lightweight and can be pushed in easily. I’m glad it’s a carryon and not going in the cargo hold; I’d be worried about heavier luggage being thrown on it and possibly cracking the shell. But maybe it won’t. In any case, it’ll be safe in an overhead bin.I bought the blue, and although I am generally not a fan of lighter blues, this has a metallic sheen that is very pleasing. The pull-up handle is pretty smooth with minimal wabble…there is always some give on these handles. The TSA lock works great. I read some reviews stating the bag came locked with no instructions. My advice, Google or YouTube it. I also saw some reviews saying the zipper pull on the lining at the bottom of the compartment was sewn in backwards. I Googled it! It’s supposed to be that way. Makes sense though, not only for repairs but the pull won’t get caught on clothing sitting against it.The carryon appears to have enough room for 3-4 days for clothing; I haven’t tried it yet. I will be traveling to Europe in June so I may do a follow-up to speak on the durability after being thrown in and out of a tour bus.But so far, and because of the Samsonite reputation, it’s a keeper.

light, handle rails are on outside of the case, which makes much easier to pack and use handles. well designed, nice wheels

We received the suitcase on March 26, but as we were about to travel abroad, we didn’t inspect it carefully at the time. When we were packing to return to the U.S., we discovered that the suitcase was damaged — the zipper area was torn. It’s unbelievable that a suitcase purchased for $200+ would have this kind of issue.

Perfect as carry on. Super light, rolls well and lots can fit inside.

My wife loves this suitcase.1. It is huge. At least 10% larger than our older soft side Suitcases.2. It is lightweight. 5 lbs lighter than our older full size soft side suitcase3. It comes with TSA approved locks.1 negative. There are no pockets inside for toiletries or medicines. Just two huge halves with a cover over both halves

Large, roomy suitcase with two no frills soft partitions. Light weight (10.7 lbs) and looking slick. Happy with my purchase. Got to see how it holds up with usage.

The 31” does not expand. Reviews are based on smaller bags. Also seems to pull at the seams. Pictured above ( just packed but have not used it for travel yet ) about 40 lb total and it’s adding pressure on the zipper.Here is hoping it survives the trip :)Positive:LiteZippers on the inside for both compartmentsNegative :- does not expand ( despite instructions - update this Amazon! ) - this is based on my review and seeing other expandable bags.- material seems weak ( like it can get punctured ) but given the weight maybe that’s why - will test and update here after flightSide note: been purchasing samsonite for a while and my last bags lasted a good 7 years ( had clutches ) but the new bags apparently only use zippers

It light move on the wheels very smooth and big compartment zipper inside.I love it 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
