Luggage

[AisleSeat]

After reading only good things about it (every review I saw was positive) and seeing a couple of members here had one (@JohnM @get me outta here ) I got a Caribee Skymaster 40 for Christmas.

I used it on a few long weekends away and its just had its first couple of flights. I love it. I flew JQ and didn't have any problems with it's size.

I used some packing cells and found that I could access everything without having to bring the bag down from the overhead bin. The zips are wide and move smoothly. The backpack straps stow away quickly and I love that they have a simple clip and not have to be threaded through a buckle to set up. The two handles (one on top and one on the side) make it easy to pick up.

I also found that even if the two main compartments were full, I could open the main zipper and stuff a jumper in; the bag would just expand a little.

I think I have posted this, but in cae I haven't;

I have the Caribee Fast Track 45 wheeled backpack. Caribee | Backpacks, Travel Luggage and Outdoor Products

It works well as a backpack, but most of the time I use it as a wheeled bag. Easily accessible pockets and only weighs 2.6kg, leaving 7.4kg for my packing.

I have had it for a year or so now, and is holding up well after considerable use. There is a slight noise from one wheel which I will keep an eye (ear?) on.

This is my Goto pack now in case I need to carry our son or push the pram.

I agree. Checked luggage is overrated!

Sometimes Myer is cheaper. Purchased 2for1 deal on a couple of 78cm Samsonite 72hrs DLX ..... weighing in at a whopping 2.8kgs.

Myer = $479 + bonus $20 Myer giftcard = $459..... luggage direct = $570

Samsonite has been a miserable failure. Not sure if it's the lightweight material or they just make a rubbish product.

Have gone back to a Delsey with a sturdy frame/material with an inbuilt digitial scale. I tested the scale on check-in.... spot on.
