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. Read more
this suitcase is beautiful in all the ways. i’ve had more than my share of international sized rollaboards - from away, tumi, sampsonite, b&r…but this is my new favorite. it’s a tiny bit smaller, but it has the zipper expander thing and that still keeps it within the size requirements for intl. and i swear - i don’t even own a purse that feels this lightweight!! i love that both sides have covers on the interior and when i close them but unzip the exterior zipper, i put shoes between the two sides and the zipped compartments keep them off my clothes. looks sharp and is quite durable. zero issues with the wheels. bonus - it’s less expensive than the fancy brands and it’s high quality. did i mention it’s very lightweight?! it’s VERY lightweight!! love it.

Astonishingly lightweight, but sufficiently sturdy to fly cross country for many years. Zipper quality is good and the single central compartment is large enough to take anything that must be in a carry-on. Reasonably durable and a good value. Read more
The value for the money is good. The luggage is very light. Read more
I can fit more into this than into older luggage of the same dimensions. It is very light weight and rolls comfortably. I've only done one long trip, so I don't know about durability yet. Read more
I bought the 22" carryon size. Love the color, love the rollability, the build and the weight. I like having both sides of the suitcase closed because it keeps all my lingerie from becoming public viewing if I have to open my suitcase for any reason. It is a great bag, expecially for the price. I will hopefully will not have the scratch marks others have complained about because I plan on using this bag only as a carry-on. Read more
Good quality and perfect size for land and air travel. Read more
I bought 2 of these (1 blue, 1 black) for an upcoming trip and both have arrived with wheels that are wobbly, get stuck and do not roll right. I am sending both back. It is definitely lightweight but the bad wheels are a deal breaker. Read more
