Know before you buy
Yes, at 31.1 inches in total height, this suitcase exceeds standard carry-on limits and must be checked at the airport.
The suitcase includes an expansion gusset that adds 1.5 inches of depth, providing extra packing capacity for souvenirs or bulkier items.
Polycarbonate is highly regarded for its impact resistance and flexibility, meaning it is designed to absorb shocks and resist cracking rather than denting or shattering under pressure.
The luggage features an 8-wheel system, which distributes weight more evenly than a 4-wheel setup, resulting in smoother 360-degree mobility and reduced wear on individual wheels.
The side-mounted lock uses a three-digit combination that you set yourself. It allows TSA agents to open and inspect your bag using a master key without damaging the lock mechanism.
Samsonite’s 10-year warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship, such as issues with the wheels, handles, or zippers, but it does not cover damage caused by airline handling.
