I purchased the item in December 2009. One was a cruise and the other on a trip to Turkey. Just returned from the Turkey trip and observed that the aluminum rod that hold the telescoping handles broke during the tossing around of the luggage by airport and luggage handlers. Now Landor-Hawa wants me to file a claim with the airlines before they will take any action. How do I prove who damaged my luggage? Out of good will, Landor-Hawa should pay for this aluminum rod.

So, anyhow I bought this bag a few weeks ago and took it on three trips. I like it a great deal. Not simply because it is light, but also because there is more internal space than in other wheeled bags I have seen. It is a shame that there is no locking mechanism on the extender and that there is no side grab handle. But these are small problems and the utility of the bag far overshadows the faults. I had no problem getting this on board six different flights. I used a smaller bundle for 1/2 of the luggage and added other pieces into the top 1/2. I was able to carry a 12 inch Lenovo Netbook and enough clothing for a one week trip. I paid only $80.00 (shipped) for this and heartily recommend the bag.
