In reply to Leigh. Leigh...I'll use a pack if I am only going for a day or two, but other than that it's a suitcase these days. However, I do agree, it is nice to be able to carry everything on my back once in a while.

That’s quite a sleek little number, looks like it’s got good storage capabilities too. Reminds me that I need to sort out my own write-up on this new Karrimor I’ve got.

A few years ago John and I finally go suitcases on wheels and that in itself made traveling and walking through airports much easier. I have a good one but sometimes – even for 1 2+ week trip I’ll carry all my stuff in a smallish knapsack. I love the fact that I can carry it all around with me.
I think $115 is a steal of a deal and I hope you have a marvelous time in Prague.

In reply to Kerwin.

Hi Kerwin…thanks for dropping by.

I ended up paying 105,000Won for this case (approx. 115.00US). I probably could have gotten a cheaper bag at the market, but didn’t have time to get there. I will use this bag until it is on its last legs, believe me!

I used to be the “queen” of getting my luggage repaired when I was a business traveler in Canada. I never left the airport without inspecting my bag, and still don’t. Unfortunately, the damage to my other bag was internal, and did not become apparent until long after I had left the airport…so annoying!

I will be checking this bag. I’m going to Prague for a month, so need more than a carry-on 🙂

In reply to Average Traveller. I think you got lucky. When I traveled for business (In Canada), it didn't matter whether my luggage was cheap or expensive. It always seemed to get damage. At that time I flew mostly Canadian. It seemed like they were forever repairing or replacing my luggage. In my experience, Air Canada is no better...:)

Less chance of someone stealing a plain brown case than a cute patterned or colourful one!

Looks very practical.

$125 seems high for a suitcase for a budget traveler :-). But if it lasts you a few years then it pays off.

Checked luggage takes a beating thus the airlines will always repair or replace if necessary. You just have to submit it before you leave the airport. That’s why its always a good idea to inspect your luggage once you pick it up and before you leave the airport.

Does this fit in the overhead or do you have to check it? Hard to tell from your pictures.
