Is the Samsonite Freeform 27-inch good for a week-long trip?

Yes. The 27-inch size and expansion zip fit about a week of clothes for one person or a shorter trip for two. It is checked size, so it will not fit in an overhead bin.

How does it compare with the Away Large?

The Freeform is lighter and has a built-in TSA lock, while the Away has a more rigid shell, a compression panel and a better handle. The Freeform costs less but its shell is more prone to cracking.

Does it have a TSA lock?

Yes, a built-in TSA combination lock is mounted on the side. You set your own combination; airport security can open it without breaking it.

What is the warranty?

Samsonite covers it with a 10-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage from airline handling, which is the most common complaint.

Yes, a zippered expansion adds roughly an inch of depth. Expand it only when needed, since a fuller bag is harder to close and puts more stress on the zipper.

The suitcase and the lock instructions. Packing cubes, a laundry bag and other accessories are not included.

About the Samsonite Freeform 27" Check-in Expandable Hardside Spinner

The Samsonite Freeform 27-inch is a checked hardside spinner built from a lightweight polypropylene shell with four dual spinner wheels and a TSA combination lock. It expands about an inch for extra packing room and comes in several colors. It suits travelers who want a tough, easy-rolling checked bag without paying premium hardside money. Against rivals like the Away Large and Travelpro Maxlite, it is lighter than many hard shells but its shell flexes more and its handle feels less solid. Owner ratings are middling: people like the weight and the wheels, but a notable share report cracked shells or dents after a few trips.
