FAQs

What materials are used in this suitcase?

The hard shell exterior is made from durable polypropylene, while the interior compartment lining is made of polyester. The telescopic handle is aluminium, and the zippers are YKK.

How do I set the TSA combination lock?

The lock is factory set to `0-0-0`. To set your personal combination, find the small reset button (often requires a pen to push in). Press and hold this button, then rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit code. Release the reset button, and your new combination is set.

Can the 20-inch suitcase be used as carry-on luggage?

The 20-inch size (55cm H x 37cm W x 22cm D) is typically suitable for most airlines' carry-on restrictions. However, airline policies vary, so always check with your specific airline before flying to confirm their latest requirements.

How should I clean my British Traveller suitcase?

The exterior of the suitcase is 'wipe clean only'. Use a soft, damp cloth, optionally with a mild soap solution, to gently clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. The interior polyester lining can be spot-cleaned.

What is the total height when the telescopic handle is fully extended?

The overall height with the telescopic handle fully extended is 100.8cm for all sizes of the suitcase.

Are there internal pockets or dividers?

The main compartment features nylon straps with a buckle to secure your packed items. While the description does not specify additional internal pockets or dividers, the straps help organize your belongings.

What is the weight and capacity for each size?

The approximate weights and capacities are: 20-inch: 2.6kg, 36 litres; 24-inch: 3.6kg, 60 litres; 28-inch: 4.6kg, 92 litres.

Troubleshooting

TSA lock won't open or accept new combination.

Ensure the dials are perfectly aligned to the correct combination. If you forgot the combination, you may need to try '0-0-0' or rotate each dial slowly, listening for a click or feeling a slight resistance at each number, which can sometimes reveal the correct code. For resetting, ensure the reset button/lever is fully pressed in before setting the new combination.

Wheels are stiff or not swiveling smoothly.

Check the wheels for any lodged debris like hair, lint, or dirt. Use tweezers or a small brush to carefully remove obstructions. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant spray (avoiding oil-based lubricants) can be applied to the axle of the wheels.

Telescopic handle feels stuck or difficult to extend/retract.

First, ensure no items inside the suitcase are pressing against the handle mechanism. Gently wiggle the handle while pressing the release button. If it's still stuck, inspect the handle shafts for any visible damage or bending. Avoid forcing the handle, as this can cause permanent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The primary setup for your British Traveller Hard Shell Suitcase involves setting the TSA combination lock.

  1. The lock is typically preset to `0-0-0` at the factory.
  2. Locate a small reset button or lever next to the dials (often recessed and requiring a pen tip to press).
  3. While pressing this button/lever, set your desired three-digit combination by turning the dials.
  4. Release the button/lever. Your new combination is now set. Remember your combination as there is no master key.

Compatibility

This suitcase comes in three main sizes to suit different travel needs:

  • 20-inch (Carry-On): 55cm (H) x 37cm (W) x 22cm (D); approx. 36 litres. Generally suitable as carry-on luggage for most airlines, but always check your airline's specific size restrictions before travel.
  • 24-inch (Medium Check-In): 66cm (H) x 44cm (W) x 28.5cm (D); approx. 60 litres. Ideal for longer weekend trips or a week-long vacation.
  • 28-inch (Large Check-In): 76cm (H) x 50cm (W) x 31cm (D); approx. 92 litres. Best for extended holidays or family travel where more capacity is needed.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your suitcase:

  • Cleaning: The suitcase exterior is wipe clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap (if necessary) to gently wipe down the polypropylene shell. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
  • Interior: The polyester lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
  • Wheels & Handle: Periodically check the wheels for debris and clean as needed. Extend and retract the telescopic handle fully a few times to ensure smooth operation.
  • Storage: Store the suitcase in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
