Great seamless service from luggage direct, love to complimentary bag tag, good quality case
Arrived in a couple of days. As orderedspent 6 weeks travelling around South America and still in great condition. Easy to spot on the luggage carousel.
Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. We have taken it on lots of trips and it’s still in good shape. Actually, we like it so much we are going to buy another.
I've just done a 10 week around the world trip with this suitcase and it was great! Lightweight, spacious and sturdy, and the wheels glide along smoothly. The pullout handle is robust, and the suitcase is easy to manoeuvre even when it's fully laden. Very happy with this case :)
Great mid-sized 'hard' case. Survived a recent trip from AUS to the USA. A few dents & scratches (as you'd expect) but found the extending handle was a bit flimsy when fully extended.
Absolutely love this cabin luggage.Nice n easy process, quick delivery. Lowest price amongst other online competitors and free delivery.

American Tourister Light Max Hardside Carry-On Spinner Suitcase - 55cm - Navy FAQ
Does This Carry-On Bag Meet Major Airline Size Restriction Requirements?
Yes. This model is designed as Carry-On overhead luggage to strictly comply with the 56cm (H) x 36cm (W) x 23cm (D) guidelines used by major airlines like Jetstar, Virgin Australia, and Qantas.
Please check the Product Size and Measurements tab on this page for the accurate sizes and weight of this specific model.
If you are browsing our full range, you can sort by "Carry-On" in the menu to view all bags guaranteed to fit overhead lockers.
What Happens If The Wheels Break?
This product comes with a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials. If you encounter an issue, we are here to help!
Please Note: Manufacturer warranties do not cover damage caused by airline mishandling (e.g., cracks or missing wheels after a flight). If your bag is damaged during transit, you must file a claim with your airline before leaving the airport.
Is This Product Waterproof?
Most of our supplier's range of luggage and bags are designed to be Water Resistant, meaning they can withstand rain showers and splashes during travel, but they are not fully "Waterproof" (submersible).
Hard Shell Suitcases: The outer shell is impervious to water, keeping your contents dry in the rain. However, water can eventually seep through the zipper teeth in heavy downpours.
Soft Shells & Fabric Bags: These are typically treated with water-repellent coatings to bead off light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy storms may result in moisture soaking through.
Leather Items: Genuine leather is porous. While it handles light splashes, we recommend keeping leather bags out of heavy rain to prevent staining or damage.
Recommendation: If you are traveling with sensitive electronics (laptops/cameras) in extreme weather, we always recommend placing them inside an internal plastic sleeve or dry bag for 100% protection.
How Do I Set The TSA Combination Lock?
The default code is 0-0-0. To set your own:
1) Press the reset button (usually with a pen),
2) Dial your desired numbers,
3) Slide the release latch or press the button to unlock as normal.
The keyhole you see is strictly for TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and Customs officers. They hold a universal master key that allows them to open and inspect your luggage for security purposes without breaking the lock or damaging your zippers.
How Do I Clean My Suitcase?
For Hard Shells, simply wipe down with a damp cloth and warm soapy water to remove scuffs. For Soft Shells, use a fabric cleaner or spot-clean with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
