We reviewed so many luggage pieces that we were literally thrilled to have decided on this Delsey 29" Lightweight Hardside Spinner.  It is the perfect choice for a checked bag in that it is lightweight yet is one inch shy of the maximum size allowable without having to pay "Oversized" charges by the airlines.  This 29" Spinner is exactly 61" Total  (1" smaller than the Max Standard).  29" x 19.5" x 12.5"  This luggage is gorgeous and has a 10 Yr. limited warranty from the manufacturer.  The wheels glide easily and the pull handle is very durable.  The inside is well appointed with a full zippered cover piece on one side and a lock-strap on the other.  There is also a zippered pocket inside for smaller items.  The bag can expand 2" more if you happen to pick up too many bargains while traveling.  The lift handles on the top and the side are also very well made and close flat against the suitcase when you are not using them.  The hardside shell is polycarbonate, exactly what the doctor ordered for lightweight durability.  We just ordered the smaller carry-on bag to match.  Ours is the Brick Red which is actually more like the Toyota Mini-Van color, not a fire engine red.  Love the TSA approved security locks, the kind where you just push a lever and snap the ends of the two zippers into the lock.  We have done a number of cruise ship vacations and the 29" is perfect for carrying all you will need, yet fitting under the cabin bed for storage while cruising.
