This large suitcase that measures 77cm – 106/118 features smooth rolling double wheels, a complete interior organisation with cross-ribbons in the top and bottom compartment, a zipped divider pad with 2 pockets and a side pocket for your small belongings and a recessed TSA Lock on all sizes.
The suitcase comes in six colours including, black, blue, dark navy, lavender, red and teal. The American Tourister Sunside has been around since 1933 offering practical and secure fashionable luggage similar to the likes of Antler.
However, an Antler case will set you back around £170 for a smaller case – even with the Prime Day sale, an Antler case that measures 20x40x55 costs £127.50 (25%) whereas the American Tourister Sunside is larger and cheaper on Prime Day. Boasting 4.5 stars from over 1,000 ratings, travellers are said to love the style, hardness and portability of the suitcase.
One happy customer wrote: “This case is my best travelling partner. Great size for 2 week (or more) holiday. I use mine the majority of time for working away. So far it has traveled back and forth from India and Jamaica 7+ times this year and it still looks as good as when I bought it.”
Another person added: “Used on two holidays so far! Not a scratch on it yet and is so easy to move across older cities such as Venice, Florence and Barcelona! Internally it has perfect compartments to organise packing and it expands too!”
However, a third person mentioned: “Nice cases, like the zip closed inner half, very light, but they don’t feel as strong as previous cases we have had, & the extending handle flexes a bit more in use than feels comfortable,. Have used them twice & no issues so far so time will tell, hoping they will last.”
For added room and extra security for your clothes, Prime Day is also offering this 8-pack of Travel Packing Cubes for £10.19, down from £15.99. The 8-piece packing cubes will fit in most airline cases, tote bags and backpacks and with each piece coming in different sizes, the travel cubes can store fresh clothes, dirty laundry, underwear, shoes, socks, cosmetics, towels, toiletries and electronics.
