Tough. Tested.
Traveller-Approved.

Before any suitcase earns the Fly First badge, it has to pass a series of brutal stress tests, drops, tumbles, pressure, and endurance runs — all so your luggage doesn’t quit mid-journey.

How We Test Every Case

Before production begins, every Fly First design goes through international-standard testing at QIMA and STC-certified labs. Each case, from carry-on to large, is subjected to:

Logo list

Running Test 16 km endurance run

Each suitcase rolls continuously for 16 kilometres at 4 km/h, half on two wheels and half on four, to simulate years of airport floors, sidewalks, and cobblestones.

Why it matters:

If it can survive 16 km in a lab, it can survive a lifetime of terminals.

Handle Pull Test — 300 to 500 lifts

Our handles are repeatedly lifted 300–500 times under load to prove they won’t loosen, crack, or warp, even after years of travel days.

Why it matters:

Because you’ll lift your suitcase thousands of times — it should never complain.

Tumble Test — 20 rotations of rough handling

After resting for an hour at room temperature, each suitcase is placed inside a rotating drum for 20 full cycles, recreating the harshest handling scenarios imaginable.

Why it matters:

Because travel isn’t gentle — but your luggage should still look like it just left the showroom.

Drop Test — 900 mm impact sequence

Each case is dropped from 900 mm repeatedly on every side — top, bottom, main handle up, and side handle up — to mimic the chaos of baggage belts and plane cargo holds.

Why it matters:

So even when your luggage takes a hit, what’s inside doesn’t.

Trolley Handle Test — 300 to 500 extensions

The trolley handle goes through hundreds of up-and-down cycles to ensure effortless glide, perfect alignment, and no loose locks — ever.

Why it matters:

The handle you trust every step of the way should never let you down.

F.A.Q

We send every suitcase through a certified third-party lab (QIMA Hansecontrol / STC Guangdong) where it’s rolled, dropped, tumbled, pulled, and pressed under controlled conditions that meet the international travel-case standard QB/T 2155-2018.
Our luggage runs the equivalent of a marathon — 16 kilometres at 4 km/h — on both two and four wheels. It’s the same as dragging your suitcase through airports and streets for years, in one continuous session.
Handles are the part you trust the most. Each top and side handle is lifted up and down 300–500 times under load to make sure they never loosen or crack, no matter how often you travel.
The Drop Test checks impact resistance — we drop each case from 900 mm on all sides. The Tumble Test spins the case through 20 rotations in a drum to mimic the chaos of baggage belts and cargo holds.
Yes — they’re based on the QB/T 2155-2018 international travel-case standard used by major global luggage brands.
Carry-On (20 in): 30 kg Medium (24 in): 40 kg Large (28 in): 60 kg All cases passed with no structural damage after four hours of static pressure.
Yes. Each new production run is sample-tested to ensure consistency in shell strength, wheel alignment, and handle performance.
Because many don’t test to this level. Our cases are certified by independent labs under the QB/T 2155-2018 standard — the same one used by global premium brands. We share our results because transparency should be part of good design.
