Please find me a suitcase

[Chinwag]

I need to buy 2 large suitcases, but am feeling a bit bewildered.

Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want one which will split in transit.

Also the wheels on our last one didn't stand the test of time and we are unable to pull them along without balancing on 1 wheel!!

I like the trolley bag sort, like a hold all on wheels, but they all seem a lot of money.

Can you help or recommend?

Have a look at ebay for holdalls with wheels. Usually only weigh around 2-3 kilos rather than 5-6 of some cases (that is a lot of your weight limit). I travel longhaul usually twice a year. I bought mine on ebay and it cost a few pounds and it has lasted for a good few years now.

Sale on the Tripp suitcases in Debenhams. I bought a really big wheeled one yesterday. They come with a 5 year guarantee.

Thanks all. Found some in TK Maxx.
