I've owned several Travelpro suitcases in various sizes, some for many years, and in general they hold up very well to being tossed around by the airline crews.  For this reason, when I needed another large suitcase, I chose Travelpro.  I was not disappointed with this one!  It looks great, feels very well made, and held everything I needed for myself and my two kids under 2 for a week-long vacation.

The only feature I'm not wild about is the removable suit sleeve, but that's because I don't tend to carry any "fancy" clothing with me, and so I prefer extra space in the zippered mesh pocket on the inner "lid" of the suitcase, which my other Travelpro suitcases have.  This is just a personal preference, so I can't blame Travelpro for it, and I'm sure some would love this suit sleeve.

I will say I've bought and returned one Travelpro (not this one!) because I didn't feel its quality was what I expected from Travelpro.  Unfortunately, I don't remember which model it was, but I did want to point out that I don't believe all their models are as superior quality as the Crew 8 line.

One other thing.  DON'T FORGET to remove the "piggyback strap" before handing your bag over to the airlines!  We forgot, and as a result when we picked up our bag at the other end of our flight, the entire mechanism was ripped off the bag!  This was our fault, not the fault of the airlines or Travelpro.

As other reviewers have said, this thing handles beautifully, even heavily packed, distributing the weight so your arm isn't aching, and rolling and turning well.

Though Travelpro is more expensive than some brands, I find them well worth the money.  All Travelpro suitcases I've ever purchased are still being used and are still in very good shape, and some I've had for 10 years.  I won't buy another brand, actually!
