Hanke 24 Inch Checked Luggage PC Hard Shell Suitcases for Travel Front Opening Aluminum Frame Travel Luggage Rolling Suitcase with Wheels.(Jet Black)

I'm an avid traveler and about a year ago I finally bought my first hardside luggage. I got a gorgeous Samsonite set which got lots of compliments in airports and hotels. However, I'm a 71 year old woman, often travel alone and the clamshell style simply didn't work for me. Whenever I wanted to pop a bag open to grab something, the lid, packed with clothes, was sooo heavy, I couldn't hold it up with one hand while digging with the other.. I had to find an area large enough to allow me to open the bag all the way...laying both halves flat...to retrieve any of the contents. When I checked my bag, it was a few pounds over and to open it and pull a few things out was a nightmare in the crowded airport. Couldn't use the luggage stands in the hotel rooms, had to put my bags on the floor or lift them onto to the bed in order to open them all the way. I didnt enjoy sitting on the floor digging through my bags nor do I like putting luggage on the bed after its been in the belly if a plane and on various shuttles. This Hanke just went with me to Mexico and it was way, way easier for me to manage!! Nothing I don't like about it and I'm once again able to lift the lid easily whenever I need to get inside. I love the nice neutral grey-beige color. The handles and the wheels work smoothly and feel like decent quality. I really didn't want to have to buy more luggage but I'm so glad I did. I started with a larger bag, loved it so much, I just got the carry for my trip in January. The carryon has a compartment in the front for my laptop. Great luggage!

I had been looking for a replacement to my disheveled 15 year old (and relatively heavy at 12 lbs) Briggs & Riley soft carryon and was really kicked about discovering this piece. Wanted to get a decent yet inexpensive hardcase but everything else looked either too flimsy, too heavy, not really 22x14x9 (this one is pretty close) or that awful clamshell design (which is why I had stuck to soft cases up until now). Not only was it quite light for its polycarbonate design (see pics), but it is super-sleek looking, moves like silk, really sturdy in feel and form and overall pretty spacious for its size. I haven't used it as a check-in yet, but it works really well in the overhead carryon bins - easy to lift and get in or out, and glides smoothly when getting in and out of the plane. It has two small pockets for wet & dry laundry and nothing superfluous. The two TSA latches work really well.I like this carryon and its overall design so much that I'm considering getting one of the larger check-ins next. I see that the carryon price has come down by a few bucks since I purchased it for 175, so I'd say this is a terrific bargain, well worth it, especially compared to the more expensive name-brand clamshells with unnecessary bells and whistles.Pros: everythingCons: nothing

I was impressed at how much this luggage could hold considering it was mostly a one sided luggage. It was incredibly functional especially when it came to living in really tight spaces in Japan for two weeks with another person. The lock was never really tested to any degree, but it gave me a sense of security knowing that my stuff was extra protected while in transit. After banging it around in Japan for two weeks, I really don't see any scratches or wear and tear, so this speaks to the durability of the luggage. Even the wheels still work just as wonderful as the first day I had it. The four wheels that move multi directionally was a life saver! I barely felt like I was pulling it behind me and it was super easy to have in the upright position while walking around. The zippers moved very nice and the inside pouch that is water proof was perfect for keeping documents I collected dry while traveling. I definitely plan on buying more to complete my set.

I just used this for second time on a trip.Pros: lightweight, love the clamshell opening, rolls nicely, love the appearance alsoCons: not a ton of space! Hoping to use this for a trip to Italy but have to be very strategic!- on my recent trip on American Airlines, a 777-200, this did not fit the proper way in the overhead. I had to lay it horizontally, which takes up way more room! Not happy about that, as I’m pretty sure that’s the plane we take to Italy soon.

I recently purchased this carry-on luggage and I’m genuinely impressed. Right out of the box, it feels incredibly sturdy and well-constructed—definitely built to last through plenty of travel. One of my favorite features is the front-opening compartment, which makes it super convenient to access verything you need and saves so much space compared to a traditional hard shell suitcase.The internal space is deceptively roomy. I was surprised by how much I could actually fit inside. With a little organization, I managed to pack for a multi-day trip with ease. The compartments and straps inside help keep everything in place, and I appreciate the thoughtful layout.It’s also the perfect size for a carry-on. It fits easily in the overhead bin on most airlines I’ve traveled with, and the wheels glide smoothly, making it easy to maneuver through airports. I also bought a cup holder accessory separately, and it fits perfectly on the handle—such a game changer when you're juggling a coffee and your phone on the go.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. It's stylish, practical, and makes traveling more efficient and stress-free. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a durable, feature-rich carry-on.
