Checklist
- Check your airline's cabin baggage dimensions separately.
- Balance the empty weight against the capacity.
- Look at the number of wheels and how durable they are.
- Check the zip, lock and handle construction.
- Choose a hard or soft shell to suit how you travel.
- Check what the warranty covers and whether the wheels can be replaced.
- Compare the return and shipping charges.
Before you head to the store
Confirm the exact model number, whether it can be delivered to your address, the final total price, shipping costs, the return period and the seller's reliability directly with the store. For cross-border purchases, taxes, customs and warranty terms may differ.
