Samsonite Flux - Spinner S Expandable Hand Luggage, 55 cm, 44 L, Black

Product Information

Of more concern, potentially, is how robust and smooth-running the wheels are: ideally, they needed to be bolted (rather than riveted) to the case so they can easily be replaced if one does break, it also helps if they're recessed into the case corners a little – this makes them less vulnerable when they’re being tossed around by baggage handlers and have the advantage of making the footprint of the case slightly smaller. Suitcase sizes explained

The Flux suitcaseswere actually made for the UK market – the US already has a really similar Samsonite collection. That’s actually the Freeform collection, with the nearly identical exterior, but some key differentiating features. Victorinox: https://www.victorinox.com/uk/en/Service/Product-Support/Travel-Gear/Travel-Gear-Warranties/cms/service-travel-gear-warrantiesDimensions for the Flux carry-on cases are 55cms tall by 40cms wide and 20cms deep. This does include the wheels and top of the telescoping handle. This is perfect for your hand luggage allowance on regular airlines – though not for the super low-cost ones like Ryanair. The carrying capacity is 36 litres. While you don't get the same capacity as a 2-wheel suitcase, 4-wheel cases are increasingly popular. The Samsonite Flux luggage collection features four hard side suitcases, only one of which is carry-on sized. All four of the suitcases have the exact same features, so the only thing you need to worry about is which size is right for you. The Samsonite Flux is made from pure polypropylene. But what exactly does that mean, in terms of its durability and weight?

The handles are also plastic, and they are very sturdy and durable.They are riveted onto the suitcase, and it would take a lot of effort to rip them off the body. And I do mean a lot. The benefit of spinner wheels is that you don’t have to tilt your suitcase to get them rolling, unlike with in-line skate wheels. This removes any strain from your arm and makes it much easier to move around with a really heavy piece of luggage. On top of that, spinner wheels can move in any direction, which means you can push the suitcase in front of you or just drag it alongside you if you want. Polypropylene is one of the top three materials used in hard side luggage. The other two are ABS and Polycarbonate.If we were to rate them, PC would be the best, polypropylene would be the second and ABS would come in third. This case from Aerolite is extremely light, and extremely affordable, two things we think are very important. It features four robust wheels and a double-tube retractable trolley grip handle, which make it simple to glide around the airport in any direction. It all feels very well made, despite its affordable price.Before the introduction of 2-wheel suitcases you had to carry your luggage, so lets raise a glass to celebrate this invention! While 4-wheel cases have become more popular over recent years, 2-wheelers are still a great option especially for a cabin case. Which? have written a good article on luggage that has been damage by airlines: https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/the-airline-has-lost-or-damaged-my-bag-what-can-i-do That’s the basic version of what we loved and didn’t love about the Samsonite Flux. You can find a lot more details in the rest of this review! About The Flux Collection Most suitcases come with either two sets of wheels on the base, or four. Which one you choose is largely down to personal preference.
