Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

—Updated for great customer service from Amazon. This is a nice suitcase for weekend trips - keeping it in your sight. Corner crushed, handle unusable, zipper failed! It’s Maiden voyage and was San Francisco to Valencia Spain (connection in Frankfurt) - unfortunately it won’t be returning. Suffered catastrophic failure (nothing lost). Pros: - inexpensive (I now understand why) - Nice interior design for 50/50 split - TSA Zipper Locks - Plastic storage to keep liquid separate - Lightweight (no longer my most important feature) - 28” model meets 62 inch (L+W+D) max size airlines Cons: - Cheap - poor quality - Zipper failed (but lock held) Do not recommend for air travel. I’ve traveled close to a million miles on business and never had a failure, but I use heavy, quality old stuff. This was for daughters trip to Spain - our regular stuff is heavy and eats into the per item weight limit. How do you get a suitcase home from Europe to return it to Amazon US? This was premium model, can’t imagine the $69 regular would have fared any worse! ***RECOMMEND A STRAP AROUND THE MIDDLE FOR ALL BAGS, ESPECIALLY FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. ALL BAGS WILL FAIL UNDER THE PROPER ABUSE, BUT A STRAP WILL HELP PREVENT IT FROM POPPING OPEN.
