I spent ages searching for the best suitcase and so glad I picked this Samsonite Air spinner expandable suitcase. I bought 2 in the end. They withstood 7 separate flights from the UK and all over Thailand and Laos, two train journeys, a passenger speedboat and much manhandling into the boots of taxis. Although this size is classed as large it isn't 'too big' as some other brands can be larger. Because this case is much lighter than many hard cases and as we were going away for over a month we were able to pack plenty in without being over weight. Another factor for us is that we wanted a suitcase to have ease of movability, especially as my husband has Parkinson's Disease, so we had no difficulties covering the often long walks through airports and London Underground from Heathrow. The dark blue was cheaper than the black at the time of purchase and we also used a bright red strap around each case to help identify them on the carousel. The zips and locks worked well. The material and edges haven't even got a scuff mark after the long trip and one of my main worries were if the wheels were damaged by baggage handlers we wouldn't have managed but again they have stood the test, so definitely recommend.
