> 3 dayThe Delsey Helium Aero 25 does what it professes to do. Easy to roll, vertical or on two rollers and it protects the contents very well. I love the light weight and although it does get scuffed when going through the gentle baggage handling of our airlines, the scuffs are not noticeable and I sure like that pretty color. Makes it easy to find on the baggage carousal although I notice more people with the same make and color. Maybe get a red one next time. On a recent tour, I had no trouble with the Delsey Helium Aero 25 and its bigger brother, the Delsey Helium Aero 29 which I brought along as well. I would recommend this brand and model but only when it is highly discounted as when I made my purchase. Makes the use of this luggage even sweeter. (I included the same review for my Aero 25)

> 3 dayThese Helium Aero bags are the best. Light and sturdy, excellent rollers and handle. Expandable. I wouldnt own any other brand. We check bags when we fly, even the carryon sizes, because we dont want to haul any bags through the airport. These bags are definitely sturdy enough to stand up to rough handling.

Greater than one weekLOVE this!!! Rolls easily....Has plenty of room. I love the fact you can tie each side down. I literally threw this on the bed and opened it, and set the whole side of clothes into the drawer at the hotel. No re-folding needed. Each side has its own tie down. The front is nice for socks or personal items of clothes OR you can put a laptop in there easily with the attached padded sleeve. I would purchase it all over again if I needed to!

> 3 dayReceived the luggage quickly and in perfect condition. It is all it claims to be. Perfect size for traveling and within all airlines allowable sizes. It is solidly constructed with plenty of packing space. The wheels are very sturdy appearing and it glides effortlessly. The handle extends to a very reasonable length making moving with it very easy. I love the locking mechanism. It allows you to keep your items safe and secure when traveling as well as when at your final destination. The extra 2 inches it expands is also very welcome. After years of going soft sided with my luggage purposes I am absolutely satisfied with the Delsey Aero. Light weight and a perfect travel suitcase.

Greater than one weekLet me start by saying this is a great piece of luggage. It looks nice (though has gotten scratched up through use - I take about 100 flights/year), and is very functional. I like that each half when opened operates as a separate compartment, which makes it easier to pack efficiently. Other reviews have done a nice job covering the pros and cons, but there are a couple things worth calling out so purchasers know what theyre getting: (1) there are no outside pockets, which makes sense given the design, except if you need to have easy access to liquids for airport security then this isnt the bag for you. (2) theres nowhere on the outside to put a business card or other identifying information. You can always attach a separate business card holder or similar. Overall, still a great bag.

> 3 dayPurchase the RED 25 - I used it once, I love the compartments on the inside, beautiful colour. It got a few scratches and scuff marks, however, the marks cleaned off easily, the scratches are not easily visible because of the luggage colour, you actually have to go very close and scrutinize it to see the scratches. The only drawback for me, is that when you use the side handle and rest the luggage down there should be the protectors to prevent damage or scratches to the underside. I intend to use luggage covers to protect my investment and I will be purchasing another one. I love this luggage

> 3 dayluggage is durable and was used for international travel. Colors are just bright and unique enough that I could easily distinguish my bags against the sea of black cloth bags coming down the luggage carousel. Loved the 4 independently spinning wheels; it was easy to wheel my bag through the airport, over cobblestones, and even onto escalators. 2 handles - one on the side and one on the top, make the suitcase easy to grab and load into and out of cars.

> 3 dayI am giving the bag five stars because it is actually the size Delsey said it is on their website....21.5x14x9. If you read reviews on other bags you know measurement given are often different than what the bag ends up being. This is important because airlines AND TSA are cracking down on carry on sizes. Currently TSAs little box at international terminals is 22x14x9. My wife was refused passage by TSA at the San Diego International Terminal because her bag was 22.5 inches tall. Fortunately her flight was delayed so I drove 50 miles each way to swap suitcases. I can pack a lot using packing cubes, but there are a couple of things to be aware of with this bag. First, the fabric portion that goes around the middle of the bag expands naturally even with the expansion zipper closed. Like I said, the bag it 9 inches deep completely compressed. If you over stuff it it will expand to 9.5 inches even with the expansion zipper closed. Leave enough room the squeeze the sides of the bag together when you stuff it in the TSA box. Second, Delsey actually has a list of airlines and their approved carry on sizes on their website. This bag will work on 90% of the carriers. When you look at the list notice there are weight limits to carry ons.....usually 20 lbs. After our whole bag swap debacle the airline told my wife the bag was two pounds too heavy. In the end, due to the delay and bag headaches they let it slide. So....the size of the bag is just a part of the equation. Good luck...it seems like those airlines REALLY want their bag fees!
