Samsonite Luggage Flite Upright 31 Travel Bag

Samsonite Luggage Flite Upright 31 Travel Bag, Bright Orange, One SizeI've had this bag for over a year. It is huge!

It holds everything you think you need and then some. It only weighs 11 pounds, nonetheless it is not jam-packed when it reaches 50 pounds weight. There are some dividers, but they are not enough. I tend to use packing cubes which work nicely. Because we are frequent flyers, often we pack up to 70 pounds of weight in this bag and it handles it very nicely. When full, the wheels roll smoothly.

The body and wheels have survived baggage handlers, but the latches have not survived TSA. I have some replacements on order as 1 latch is broken and the other is mutilated.

The one complaint is the design of the handles. They are placed so that it is very awkward to pick up the bag from the upright position--I believe this makes it more susceptible to damage from baggage handlers.

All considered, I would recommend the bag for someone who needs a LOT of space and hardside protection. The handle placement makes it unwieldy, so if ease of luggage transfer is a consideration, look elsewhere. I am happy with my purchase. It has served me well, and is good value for price.
