"Used this for four round trips over two years and it's still going strong. Has some scratches but nothing structural. For the price I'm completely satisfied."

"Perfect first luggage purchase. Fits in every overhead bin I've tried (Air Canada, WestJet, Porter) and the spinner wheels are genuinely smooth."

"The TSA lock is a nice bonus but the shiny finish shows every mark. Buy it in black if you care about looks."

Scratches and scuffs easily
The shiny ABS finish shows scratches prominently after a single checked-bag flight. Travelers who care about luggage appearance quickly regret a light color; matte finishes or dark colors fare somewhat better.

The main zipper pull is a small, lightweight piece of plastic. Several reviewers report it breaking off within the first year of heavy use, requiring a key ring as a replacement or a warranty claim.

No divider pockets or compression straps inside beyond the two main panels. Clothes shift during transit, and small items like chargers or toiletries need their own bags to stay organized.
Source: Amazon.ca reviewerThe American Tourister Moonlight is the right carry-on for first-time travelers or budget-conscious flyers who want a hardshell spinner with a TSA lock and don't need premium durability. It handles 10–20 trips before showing meaningful wear, which suits the occasional vacation traveler well. If you fly monthly or need a bag that stays pristine, spend up to Samsonite Omni 2 or Travelpro territory—but for once-or-twice-a-year travel, this delivers everything you need for under $100.
