I bought it 10 years ago, no kidding. Not big, fabric. He was with us, probably on 5 trips. I like to take it to the country with children's things, I mean that the suitcase is whole and not a single detail has fallen off on it. At that time, I gave 100 USD for it. The inscription on the King label (I think local production))

in Egypt you can buy either local production or Chinese everywhere
look at the quality. do not take with plastic wheels - they will break immediately.
pay attention to lightning
Back in 2007, I bought a suitcase in Kiev in Auchan. at the current rate - for 5 bucks. so far I have it in excellent condition. and traveled both in hand luggage and in luggage. everything is fine, although I really took him for one trip and did not think that he would “live” for so long

I bought a suitcase in Hurghada in 2009, it has served perfectly since then. And I travel twice a year to different countries. One problem: it is gray, like 90% of the suitcases when they ride on the tape upon arrival at the airport. It takes a long time to look closely, is it yours. It feels like most of the suitcases are from the same manufacturer. The need for inventions is cunning - I glued two pieces of bright adhesive tape - it helped, I guess from afar.

It all depends on which manufacturer you buy. As a rule, they are not expensive here and serve their cost at 100%.

I will tell you another story. . . . we’re leaving... -when unloading from the bus at the airport of charm, I find that the wheels of the suitcase have already fallen off !!!. . . , unloading in Kiev Borispol, going to the railway station. while moving around the station, spare parts continue to fall off the suitcase. . . (((. . . . . , we sit in a taxi, we arrive home, we take the elevator to the ninth floor - the last handle on the suitcase falls off in front of the doors. . . . subsequently went to a decent tourist shop, bought two expensive suitcases of Swedish pro manufacturer-Tule, one for the fins to fit, the other for all the rest of the little things and the need to load. .. -I've been happy with these suitcases for three years already!!! -The conclusion is simple!!! -The miser pays twice! buy a good house!

kvi2007, that's what I'm afraid to buy "disposable". I've been to Egypt many times, never paid attention to these products. Egypt, I received an order from a person whom I cannot refuse, specifically for the purchase of a small suitcase (well, this is from the series that order handbags, wallets, etc.) So I was puzzled by this question. It is clear that g... .I don’t want to bring .orbittours, can you recommend a store. Or don’t bother?

We bought about 6 years ago in the old town in Sharm a plastic suitcase, huge, bright orange, more than 100 liters in volume, cost $ 100. The suitcase is excellent, nothing fell off, despite the fact that twice a year they flew with a full suitcase - heavy, that is (I mean, how they are thrown there at the airport), everything is whole. The only thing is that you won’t go to Europe with such a large suitcase, there will be a big overload. The suitcase itself weighs 7 kg. But happy with the quality. Choose carefully.

Bought a nice crocodile skin suitcase two years ago. Visually looked good. Gave 30 dollars. The first trip is fine. During the second, the top handle came off. They took it to the third, because there was a side handle and a retractable wheelchair. The lightning broke. At home, on arrival, the side handle broke out. Too bad, I love crocodiles so much)))

In the old town there are enough shops selling suitcases. I myself bought a suitcase in the old city for ridiculous money, it really served me for five years, then the handle was torn off at the airport, then not the next year another one (when I go home to Belarus, of course, I load to the very coil, back is the same))))) .
I bought the cheapest one. But there are suitcases that are both more expensive and of better quality. Here, the cost is equivalent to quality)))))))) for $ 30, it will serve you for 30 dollars (handles are the most sore subject of suitcases, especially if you loaded it "under the coil", then do not wait that the handles will last a long time). The most tenacious suitcases are small in size, you should not buy a very large suitcase (especially according to the new rules, no more than a maximum of 25 kg in one suitcase.)

orbittours, "in one suitcase no more than a maximum of 25 kg." - what is it and where?
It is clear with Europe, but Turkey was a max 35 kg place. or has something changed?

orbittours, so what direction?
In June of this year, I was in Turkey, I flew in economy class: for suitcases (for one place) the weight was no more than 35 kg, for manual ones they were not weighed at all. That year, I flew twice in the same direction, the requirements for one place are the same, they were weighed manually once - in Turkey. Maybe for specific flights, certain airlines, such requirements?

flew Turkish Airlines, and our Aeroflot. On the ticket, it was written that the Turks had a total weight of 30 (from the bottom 10 of hand luggage), Aeroflot allows a suitcase of 23 kg, hand luggage of 10. Maybe charters have different rules (I flew regularly), but even charters 35 is not written on the ticket. Previously, when I flew charters for two, they took a large suitcase and everything was okay.

We bought this year in Hurghada (there is more choice) a pretty good suitcase. For dollars Enough for a couple of years. But not so sorry when they are thrown at the airport. This is what causes everything to fall apart! Pay attention to wheels. Now there are pretty decent suitcases on 4 wheels (convenient, they turn in all directions), they ask for 30-40 bucks for them. Oh, and don't forget that when departing from Egypt, you must have only one piece of baggage. When landing, they will require an additional payment for an extra piece of luggage, if I'm not mistaken - 20-23 dollars (I know for sure, they got it last year), i.e. You can take it out if you are with a child and there is no luggage for him.

nesnew hasn't flown charters for a long time, so that's probably the difference.
Many airlines are switching to one piece of baggage per person. Only on regular flights you pay extra not for a seat but for extra kg, sometimes it turns out very "painful". Run-up from 8-30 dollars per kg.

kef-lida, I agree that you can "kill" any suitcase, the porters at the airport do not stand on ceremony. The difference is that a better one "endures longer." that the main thing is to fit into the prescribed weight. I have never flown with two suitcases. I usually go on a plane (from Sharm) with a purse and a bag of tea and mango. that in the Old Market there is a store selling bags from the Egyptian factory El Kanz. Are there only bags with wallets, or suitcases too? Thank you again for your opinions. I listened to everyone.

I thought in vain, now you will think differently.

It's Wikipedia, my friend.
So your joke is past the checkout. It happens sometimes =))
