Hard to call this a Samsonite. I took one international flight and the luggage has major cuts deep on the plastic and scraps and bends that make the luggage now essentially unusable. Do not buy this item, it is a joke that should not be called a suitcase.
Love the suitcase. Do not love the anxiety produced by being unable to open the suitcase for an entire day. Customer service rep helped, but my husband solved the problem by giving the latch an extra strong push, which opened it. The "instructions" (which were inside the locked suitcase) are ludicrous. It's a drawing of the latch and lock with red arrows indicating which way to push the lock. NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. No help with changing lock code. Just go to u-tube videos. Sampsonite is an icon of luggage. Surely they could produce a comprehensible set of instructions.
I bought this earlier this month for a trip to LA. On one trip it received a lot of scratches which doesnt bother me, but the zipper which goes into the lock was bent on its maiden voyage. So on the return flight home I had to use a lock I picked up to keep the luggage securely locked shut. The suitcase itself works great, but a hard plastic instead of metal zipper on the outside of the suitcase is a major flaw.
