We have taken this luggage with us now on several different types of trips, including air travel, and packing it in the bag of a vehicle for a road trip.  In each case the luggage has held up very well; and we tend to be quite hard on our luggage as we travel a lot.  I was concerned about the quality at first when I received the luggage and saw the fabric casing, but those concerns were alleviated quickly after actually using it.  I can definitely recommend this luggage.
