Heading off for my first ever overseas trip, despite being 35, to the USA on Saturday for work. I purchased a new suitcase today, having checked Virgins requirements of a maximum linear size of 158cm I was very pleased to find an Antler New Size Zero Large Expanding Rollercase, which I checked the tag on and added up to 157cm. Perfect.
So I get home and... that sudden sinking feeling... yup, it's 157cm excluding the wheels. With wheels its 167cm. Aside from feeling like a complete idiot, and with some concerns about the returns policy at the shop I purchased from, and the lack of time until I go, can I ask if anyone else has traveled with this particular bag or something similar and if so did it cause you any troubles?
