I agree with some of the other reviews that it seems small. My 26" travelpro upright is square and holds much more. The angle and slant of this suitcase loses some valuable space. However, I adjusted and packed a bit lighter. It's completely worth it because moving the bag is so much easier. That travelpro was heavy when full and it was tiring to have that weight leaning on my hand for long walks through airports, train stations, etc.

I've only taken it on one trip, so I don't know how well it will hold up, but it performed beautifully.

The fact that the suitcase expands in the body of the suitcase rather than in the lid is great. I had an old Samsonite that expanded in the lid, and it was difficult to pack when expanded.

I pondered ordering the 29", but if some airlines say it is too big, I don't want to take a chance. Also, I was afraid it would be overweight. I saw it in a local store and it was huge. Seems a more square design or something between the two sizes would be good.

Amazon's local express delivery was amazing. I ordered in the morning, and it arrived in the afternoon. Even with the extra delivery charge, the price was much cheaper than I found locally.

I ordered the Padma model too, but this one was easier to spin and seemed better built, so Padma went back.

Loses a star because it lost a zipper pull the first time I checked it on a plane. I emailed Samsonite, but never got a response.
