Matahari. Mine was an extra large Polo. Thinking I could get more in but it was then way too heavy...not so much for the excess luggage $$ because we used it for 2 people but because it was too heavy for the airport workers to lift! Whilst at Denpassar airport we had to take out a third of our stuff, they gave us the stripey bags for free to put our things in and we had to have it as carry-on luggage. This would have been all OK if we didn't have the wheelchair and our usual carry-on luggage. We ended up having more carry-on luggage than anybody and a half empty suitcase! And then we were put on the plane first...the looks we got were priceless!!
Anyway the suitcase was great and I got $75.00 for it in the local Quokka when I sold it here in Perth. It actually only cost me $35.00 Aus. so I was quite chuffed. The guy that bought it was using it to carry a hiking pack in ready for a Himalayas trip!
