This bag arrived on time to my hotel, thank you! Putting everything from a broken suitcase into this one worked well with room to spare. If you're walking around an airport with the shoulder strap it doesn't hurt too much (mine was almost completely full around 45 pounds) but if you have a long haul I wouldn't recommend the shoulder strap as there is no padding and can be rough against your shoulder/arm. Since the last suitcase that was brand new didn't hold up going through the airport, this one did. I plan on using it again.
