Suitcase recommendation
 

Hi

My wife is looking for a replacement suitcase but has the following list of requirements:

1. Hardsided
2. Latches, not zippered
3. Completely flat INSIDE (including the logo, which in the case of the newer Samsonites, protrudes into the case)

The ideal match would be the old Samsonite Oyster, but I am not a fan of having lift 32kg of luggage around the airport on 2 wheels. Would much prefer a 4 wheeled spinner affair, but (to meet requirement 3.) must have the telescopic handle on the outside.

I have searched the interweb without success. Is there such a thing?

Do you want one that you need to check, as in cannot fit in a typical overhead, or a carry on size?

perhaps this will do?

The completely flat requirement could be a problem as most manufacturers mold ridges into the case walls to add strength. Samsonite makes a couple of lines that come close to your requirements: F'lite and S'Cure (most like the Oyster). I have a couple of Oysters and an F'Lite - the F'Lite is not flat inside and that is a pain.

Delsey has two lines that may tick all your boxes: the Delsey Honore and the Delsey Belfort Plus. There is also the Logel Octa line.

Do you mind me asking you why you have set out these three requirements? I am asking because these are the exact same things that my wife and I require - and it's nice to see that we are not alone.
