'Lightweight and sturdy' expandable carry-on suitcase is slashed by £130 for Prime Day

As we enter the final day of the Amazon Prime Day sale, now is the last chance to snap up some great bargains, especially if there are any larger purchases you’ve been putting off making. With plenty of summer holidays and staycations ahead, now is also a great opportunity to nab yourself some new luggage in the sale, particularly when it has as good a saving as this Samsonite Intuo Expandable Hand Luggage.

The carry-on size suitcase is usually priced at £229, but while the Prime Day deals are running, it’s now available for £101.80, saving you almost £130 and knocking 56% off the price. That also means you could get your hands on two cases for the price of one if you have other family members who are also in need of some new luggage.

The Samonsite suitcase comes in five different sizes, although it's the “small” version which is currently on sale for £101. Measuring 40cm by 23cm by 55cm, it’s just the right size to take as a carry-on case, although it may be a little too large for some budget airlines with super strict guidelines, like Ryanair.

If you do want a carry-on case that definitely fits even Ryanair’s restrictions, this Velocity Expandable Cabin Max Suitcase from Cabin Max has been made to fit the exact dimensions of 55cm by 40cm by 20cm, and is available for £50. Alternatively the Aerolite Expandable Suitcase is also the exact measurements required, and is now on sale down from £69.99 to £44.99.

You can however pick up a smaller version of the Samsonite Intuo, not to mention larger options too so you can create a full matching luggage set. The small version, however, also has a deceptively roomy interior with a capacity that reaches up to 48 litres when expanded, and weighs just 2.7kg thanks to its lightweight and scratch-resistant exterior.

The inside also features a fixed divider, two zip pockets and adjustable packing straps to keep everything organised and in place. The case also comes with double wheels which make it easy to manoeuvre, and a TSA008 lock which keeps it secure.

The Samsonite Intuo also has some rave reviews from Amazon shoppers, who have awarded it 4.6 out of 5 stars. One said: “Very sturdy and lightweight good price definitely recommend this case, just need to travel to test it out now.”

Another agreed: “Samsonite are the best suitcases. This suitcase is robust, good locking system lightweight. Design great just been on holiday with it Samsonite a few marks Flite suitcase smashed to pieces. Will be buying another Samsonite to get matching pair. Worth paying a little more to get rock solid quality and top top brand.”

A third chimed in: “Very light, really well made & glides easily, excellent quality.”

One who was less pleased said: “Lightly built, only reasonable value for money. Easy to pack and rolls easily. Not sure how durable this will be in the longer term.”

Whilst another flagged the Ryanair fit issues, saying: “Looks great. Quality is unmatched, comfortable to drag around and can hold lots of clothes but is too big for Ryanair standards and only usable with Easyjet. Swapped for smaller size.”

Others were delighted with the Samsonite Intuo though. One reviewer wrote: “Fabulous case, so roomy and has 2 sides to pack. I put shoes and bags of toiletries in the zipped lid side and clothes in the main compartment. Even the taxi driver liked the way it rolled along so easily despite the weight!”

With someone else adding: “Great price and delivered in time for my trip. Made the airport hike so much easier with the spinner wheels, huge capacity - had to be careful not to over pack!”
