I have the older model Dash hard sided suitcase I picked up at Brookstone a few years back. I like this because it is perfect size that fits in all the overheads of Delta planes (just barely on the smaller RJs, but it fits) and I don't have to gate check.

Anyway, I need to replace it and am having a hardtime finding a replacement. The new Dashes are now expandable and a bit thicker.

1. Has anyone used the new Dash on the Delta RJs? Does it fit in all of their smaller jets overhead?

2. Any recommendation on an alternative brand (not too expensive)?

Thanks,

Robert
