@@wattstraveling thanks, i usually fly American and I know on some they lay flat and others they stand on the side. My current soft side I use is 22.75 x 14.25 x 10.25 so had concern since the Voyageur was a little bit wider.
We had our polycarbonate suitcase destroyed flying into Saskatoon at -30C The ramp guy must have thrown it off the plane, it was almost empty. As for your broken wheel issue, get some JB Weld - 2 part epoxy glue. We had a suitcase make several trips to SE Asia with glue. Air Asia made us sign a waiver because it was repaired so we doctored it up with a jiffy marker. No more waivers over many trips. Packing cubes are awesome. We stayed at a nice hotel and found one bedbug on the floor. It’s easier to pack up and move to a new room when it’s already packed and hopefully bug proof. So far we have 🤞 we haven’t seen any more bedbugs. 😑
Hi guys! That's wild about your luggage.... and yeah JB weld would work too! Duct tape is holding up for now! Lol. Packing cubes are definitely handy little things, I love mine too! Safe travels guys and thanks for watching!
Zipper closures like that can be defeated with a ball-point pen. All of the luggage that uses that system can be broken into while in storage or while being processed in the airport. The TSA lock system is a farce. A pair of pliers will easily twist off the tabs and defeat the lock.
If you're a thief in a rush, you'll choose the unlocked luggage over the locked luggage, even if the lock is poor. At least that's my theory and rationale for using the locks.
@lilliputlittle yes, they DID send us another full set! That's why we have TWO big suitcases.... and also 2 carry ons. But we decided to use the broken one as well, I couldn't throw it away.... so we slapped tape on it so see how long it will last!
How well does the Voyager fit in overhead bins on its side in planes?
@Whelen41 we haven't had any issues having it fit in over head bins 👍

@Whelen41 9.5 x 21.5 x 14.5 just measured my exact piece so it should be good 👍
@@wattstraveling thank you
@Whelen41 no problem
For international flights, the depth of the carryon cannot exceed 9’’. Did you have any issue with the Voyager carryon for international flights?
@@Ccwuhccwuh None 👍

Locks only keep honest people out!

@pulpmysteryfan yup, locks only keep the good people away.... but, if the want in.... they get in regardless of the lock.
I thought you said they sent you a new set rather than slapping duct tape on the Grace? You're not following through with the same "story line".
