Notes from our data check
shop.samsonite.com and shop.americantourister.com returned a bot challenge (HTTP 307) to every request, so the figures come from the brand's Amazon listing. Listing B081JDRMR6 (Black, model 133031-1041): "PACKING Dimensions: 19.6\" x 14.75\" x 9.5\", OVERALL DIMENSIONS: 22.5\" x 15.5\" x 9.5\", Weight: 7.5 lbs."; has a USB charging port. It does not say whether 'overall' includes wheels and handles. CONFLICT: the spec table says 18.9 x 14 x 9 in and 6.6 lb, and an AAA Corporate Travel listing (search snippet, not opened) calls it 22x14x9. No volume or expansion size published. $132.98, 'Only 1 left in stock'; #112 in Suitcases. Over 22 x 14 x 9 on every axis. Derived values: cm converted from the published inches (x2.54, 1 dp); kg converted from the published lb.
