Aerolite Super-Lightweight Suitcase Luggage, World Lightest Holiday Carry on Baggage, Large and Small Cabin Travel Bags in 18" 21" 26" 29" 32" Sets

I brought this range in 21" and 29".

21" hand luggage - meet all the size requirements for cabin luggage. If you are planning on using this as carry on luggage, instead of checking a bag into the hold, then my personal opinion would be that it is slightly too small. However, this depends on what you plan on bringing with you.

I recently used my on a trip to the US and boy did I put the bag to the test. The weight allowance allocated to me was 18kg and I managed to pack so much clothes into the case that I thought the seams were going to burst. I never did reach the 18kg allowance, but even when bulky the bag did not exceed the size requirement, and because of the material it's made of you can push down on it quite on lot to cram things in. The fact that I didn't have to factor in space for my handbag, was a definite bonus.

When full you don't notice the weight when pushing along on 4 wheels, although the handle does feel a bit 'rickety', but I notice that this tends to be the same on other makes too.

Overall, this is a very nice lightweight bag, that can hold a lot when pushed. Would highly recommend.

29" suitcase - in my opinion this is the perfect size considering the maximum travel allowance is 23kg for international travel and 20kg for Europe.

I had seen lots of people with the lightweight suitcases and thought they are ideal, but the thing that put me off was the size of the handle. On these they are perfect, the same size as you would find on a standard suitcase. The material is slightly better as it is thicker than most, so offers more protection, especially knowing how your cases as handled at the airport. The sides of the case are sturdy and you don't get that bulging look that you would expect given the lightweight material they are made from.

Again I used this on a recent trip to the US, which involved a transfer flight. On both my outbound and inbound travels I was at maximum weight, which made the cases heavy to lift. Despite this I suffered no damage to the bag, wheels or handle.

I brought these in plum 9970 and black 9970 and was pleasantly surprised to find out they had 4 wheels instead of two.

Would I recommend this range of cases? The answer is most definitely. I like to shop and knowing that I have something that is lightweight and won't take away much from my travel allowance, then it's a win/win for me.

I took the medium sized case on a 3 week tour of China. Not a beach holiday but cold weather clothes. It went on 2 long haul journeys(4 flights) and 6 internal flights in China. Fabric is very solid and has hardly been touched. Will be using this one for the next planned trip to India. When full it comes in just under 20kg which was the luggage allowance for Chinese domestic flights.
Compared to other suitcases it is very supple. I found that if packed and left it overnight upright, the contents "sunk" leaving space to pack the last minute bits and bobs in the top without having to open it all out. Not quite stable when being pulled, as other styles but it makes up by being so lightweight.

Updated 30.01.2014 - Just returned from a two week holiday and my original 5 star rating was a bit premature. We only had 15 kg in each of the two cases, but one case had the stitching break on a corner and the other had the handle pull loose from one of the telescopic arms. This all happened on the way out, so not due to excess handling during the holiday. We will be returning the cases as these defects should not happen after only two outings.

Bought two 26 inch cases and have just taken them to a trip to Marrakech. They are extremely light and hard wearing. The handles are well stitched in and therefore unlikely to break. The pockets are a good size with one small and one large and will accommodate all the types of items we normally take that need easy access. The material feels strong and the wheels run smoothly (we purchased the 4 wheel models). Marrakech has a lot of cobbled alleyways in the old town where we were staying and the wheels handled these no problem. Can't see any weakness or sign of hard wear since returning, so very happy with them.

I purchased size: 21 for a cabin bag and to carry my business files and books to office. I frequently commute with a carry bag stuffing my heavy books… therefore I needed a lighter but stronger bag. Also I was considering if I should buy 2 wheels or 4. I found this is perfect for my use. Surprisingly light, easy to carry over stairs. My decision to go for 4 wheels was right. I am quite small, less than 155cm, and I found the longer handle might be too long because the bag might touch on the ground while being pulled in bumping roads with the longer handle. So I end up using a shorter handle and gliding it flatly. In this case, 4 wheels is a must. I am thinking to buy the second one but a bigger one for a longer vacation.

This case is exactly as pictured and described. A really good size, almost a little too big but being so light it means that even when it's full you still don't have to worry too much about weight limits.
Because it's so light it does almost feel flimsy and I was a little worried about how well it would survive the long haul trip but I needn't have worried, the material is good quality and strong and it's still in perfect condition.
The 4 wheels on the bottom make it so easy to travel with, it was stable and you can just walk along with it next to you, a lot easier than dragging a case with just 2 wheels.
I shopped around and the price is great for a case of this style so I'm really pleased.

Arrived in 48 hours and was just what I wanted. Very light and much bigger interior than I was expecting. Excellent additional zip allowing the suitcase to be expanded further.
Took all the skiing clothes of a family of 5 without a problem. Not sure how well it would stand up to being thrown around alot by baggage handlers - only time will tell as I'll be using this for many holidys to come but I would definitely recommend this suitcase for the price.

I bought this suitcase as it was advertised as being light and sturdy! Not so. The aluminium tubes holding the retractable handle were bent when I retrieved it from the airport carousel and I could not pull out the handle. They were obviously not strong enough for the purpose. None of the other cases were damaged in this way. Yes, it was light but being able to use it only once has made it a terrible purchase.

Purchased the medium size, two wheel dark purple case that weighs 2.4kg. I have just used this suitcase for my two week holiday in Italy, travelling with Ryanair. It survived the checked in luggage process very well, doesn't have a scratch on it. I filled it to the max weight allowed by the airline which was 15kg but could easily have filled it with far more items and particularly if using the expandable function. I imagine the medium case would hold up to 20-23kg but I don't think I'd chance anymore weight than that. It got wet in the rain when I was walking home but nothing inside was wet however, it wasn't raining very hard. I do not think the material is waterproof, if i had been concerned about that then I would line with a towel first before packing. My dad was also impressed with the style and weight of this case. Delivery was a bit of a nightmare however despite ordering this a month ahead of my holiday it barely turned up in time! When I contacted the company by finding their tele number via google I did eventually speak to someone who took charge. I could have done without the stress though.

This case is just perfect. Just used it for a city break in Italy. Surprisingly holds a lot of clothes and doesn't become heavy. Great pockets on the outside and easy use handle. Very sturdy and a great little case. A great accessory for any trip away. Fitted easily in the overhead storage on a RyanAir flight and is well within their size guidelines. Fantastic

Bought 2 No 29" 2 wheel Plum cases, Brilliant delivery, arrived after two days, After unpacking 1 case was very dirty and covered in foot prints on the front panel, both were totally different shades of plum and the cases did not come with zips that cover the handles. I did not expect much for a little over �40.00 but it would have been nice to receive what was stated and as advertised !
