I recently purchased this luggage for a two week European trip. I ended taking the larger suitcase and the smaller carryon. I found the luggage spacious and very easy to pack. It held up really well and was very easy to roll and control the cases -- both at once. Fairly easy to handle on the trains as well; however, the larger case did not fit easily in the overhead on the new high-speed trains we took.I would definitely recommend luggage covers if you purchase this as they will save the very nice glossy exterior of your case. One of the covers on our cases was removed by TSA and while the case is not too scratched, it looks more used than the one that remained covered. I thought these case covers would be a big hassle but they were very easy to use and are worth the extra $$ to protect the outside of your cases. They also really helped in the snow and ice. I love the orange color; it definitely makes a statement, is attractive and makes your bag easy to spot. Finally, the luggage set of three fit and store well all inside the larger case.TIP: If you are considering a longer trip, I'd also recommend you check out zipper packing cubes/organizers. They really helped maximize the space and kept me organized on short stays..
