Aerolite56x45x25cm British Airways Jet2 & Easyjet Upgrade Maximum Allowance Large Lightweight 2 Wheel Carry On Hand Cabin Luggage Bag Suitcase 56x45x25 with TSA Approved Lock Black

I know that the trend is for rigid 4 roller-wheel cases, but if you want to maximise interior packing space 2 wheelers are the better choice. This case is the optimum size for a large carry-on case with EasyJet. The large carry-on comes with EasyJet Plus membership or purchase of upfront/extra legroom seats. (Check other airlines)I bought this to replace my existing Aerolite case which has done me sterling service for many years. I had tried a cheaper case but the quality, construction and design were poor. So don’t waste your money: this is definitely the one to go for. It has interior straps at each side to keep contents in place- essential for efficient packing. Cheaper options don’t, so contents can move and end up squashed together and creased at the bottom of the case. It is sturdy but light with a strong handle and rolls well. The two exterior pockets are great for travel documents, liquids, and items needed on board and there’s a handy side handle. Many of the rigid 4 wheelers have no exterior pockets or a side handle which is essential for putting your case in the airline sizer - and getting it out! So, if you’re a reasonably frequent traveller who relies on hand luggage rather than pay airlines’ exorbitant fees for hold luggage, this is far and away your best choice.

Light, correct size and smart piece of luggage

Not used it yet. It looks good. Bigger than my old bag but exactly what I wanted.

Every year I visit family in Spain, and whilst they have the facilities to wash clothes etc. I wanted to take a bit more and make room for gifts coming back (especially Lemons) as most people have lemon trees in their villas. Anyway, I packed three types of shoes, Golf, sliders and trainers, all my clothes some bits for my mum, my bum back (That you cannot take onboard separately) unless you pay extra! with all the tech for traveling, tablet, kindle etc...and importantly a pack lunch for the plane...sorry EasyJet your prices are still ridiculous.What did I like:- Strangely the two front feet (They are set out in front of the bag, so if its a little heavier it can never tip over like my old roller bag used too)- The capacity is brilliant, it did me a good week, as mentioned with three types of shoes..- Small things like the pockets are good, but be warned use them for paper and passports not bulky stuff, or you will breach 25cm's in depth very easily, and those nice ladys at the Orange desk might place in the hold... I used them to store tech (electronics and liquids prior to boarding, so I could easily fish them out before going through security.. Just a tip- The Handle was solid, no immediate twisting and good that it can be hidden and zipped away.What I didnt like: (There are only a few niggles but nothing from stopping 5 stars)- The lock comes in a plastic pouch, the only thing is, the pouch is quite literally sewn into the bag, meaning you cut the plastic pouch, which was nerve racking as I didn't want to slice into the netting in the pocket inside. The nice lady I spoke to from the company said its because they were getting lost.... my recommendation would be to store it inside in the zipped compartment.- The inside velvet may after time fray where the straps are, as they are so close, so I am counting the trips before that happens.- The combination lock is made out of 90% plastic, so I'm not sure how long that will last, I would use it whilst not in transit, maybe when your out the hotel room or something to keep things extra safe... or upgrade to a small metal oneOther than that I cannot fault the bag, it got through the EasyJet gate ok, although I do recall me accidentally running over people's feet as its so wide... my last roller bag was half the size so easy to maneuver. But that's my problem not the case. Also not many people had this size, which makes me think am I being selfish for taking the maximum..??Lastly I kept the small Size Tag on it, just in case I was pulled for the size of it... Fingers crossed it will serve me for many trips abroad!!.

A lovely sturdy case with plenty of room for all the essentials needed for your holiday if you're travelling light.

These amazing bags are perfect if you are trying to maximise your carry-on luggage volume. Seeing almost everyone else trundling their piddly little narrow cases around the airport made it obvious just how large and spacious these are.Currently BA cabin bag and EasyJet optional (paid for) "Large" cabin bag limits are 56x45x25cm, and these cases are specially designed to make use of every last centimetre of the allowance. My opinion is if the airlines are going to allow it then I'm going to take it.We took a short (6 night) trip recently so that was an opportunity to try travelling with hand luggage only for the first time. These cases passed the test with flying colours. Just a few words about our experience ...On the way out we were approached by a BA lady as soon as we arrived at the gate. She took one look at our bags and stated that they "look rather big" and that the flight is full so they'll need to check them in. No problem for us - they were taken away, checked successfully in the "size limit tester thing" and on arrival at our destination they were among the first to appear on the carousel so that was very satisfactory.On the way home we had to visit the check-in desk to collect boarding passes. They offered the option to check the bags in for free but we decided to hand carry them on, as we were keen to minimise delays on arrival. Just for fun I double checked that one would fit in the BA size checker next to the desk and it went in (just) with no problem. My effort was even greeted by a small "wow!" from fellow travellers - I think they were a bit jealous.Arriving on board, it turned out that the aircraft (A320) had the stupid new supposedly larger capacity overhead bins where they want you to put your carry-on bags "vertically" instead of laying flat. Unfortunately whoever designed these did not take into account the allowed 45cm width, and these cases would nowhere near stand vertically. Therefore they had to be laid flat. Not a problem for us but one of the cabin crew mentioned that they are rather large and "you might not be allowed them on future flights". Needless to say I put him right about a few things and pointed out that they are within the limit. What's the point of having a limit if the aircraft can't accommodate cases of that size!?So, overall, a great success and highly recommended. They could very well save you the cost of having to check in a hold bag.
