Best 55x40x20 hand luggage?
Suggestions welcome:
There is evidence that carry-on rules are going to get more strict in the next few months. 55x40x20 cm (22x16x8 inches) looks like becoming the maximum. I have been using a no-brand 50x35x22 rolling bag for the last year, and it is coming apart, after about 150 flights. I would like advice on best makes/models that you have found. Here are my requirements:
- The case itself should be as light as possible.
- Wheels and a telescopic handle.
- Need to be able to carry my PC, iPod, chargers, assorted adaptors, two novels, a notepad, two shirts, socks, toiletries etc. for two nights, plus my running shoes, shorts, T-shirt and eventual track suit in for colder weather.
- Must be lockable for when they take it from me on small planes.
My feeling is that I should minimize the space that internal dividers and compartments take up. Using thin bags seems more space-efficient.
Samsonite have one that has these exact dimensions for SFr 295 /$255 /125 pounds. Seems OK, but it has a lot of internal dividers and compartments, all of which seem to make it heavy.
Suggestions?
