TravelproMaxlite Air Hardside Expandable Carry on Luggage, 8 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Champagne, Carry On 21-Inch

When searching for carry-on luggage, it seems that the luggage sizes widely vary even though they may say they meet airline reqt dimensions. These actually meet the 22"x14"x9" size reqt including wheels & handles. Additionally, these are very light at just 6.1lbs. Just that reqt alone eliminated 90% of the carry-on's that I searched for. The luggage itself appears well made and good quality. The wheels spin easily & freely. They attach slightly recessed into the bag so hopefully that helps them stay intact when travelling. The handle telescopes up with two handle lengths possible. The grab handles are thick & heavy rubber to avoid any broken handle issues. They also are closely aligned to the bag so as not to increase overall size. The built-in TSA lock works well and is easy to set your own code. The bag does have a 2" expansion gusset should you need to put more in it but this will expand it passed the carry-on size reqt. On the interior, I liked that both sides have zippered enclosed compartments. This will making packing the clamshell type case easier and nothing falls out when opening/closing. The zippers all move freely and don't anticipate any issues. Ended up with the Ensign Blue color as other desired color was sold out. After receiving it, the Ensign Blue color was appealing and happy with my choice.

This lightweight carry-on suitcase was a perfect choice for my two trips to France: 30 days in October 2022, and 30 days in June 2023. I was able to fit all of my clothes in it (toiletries went into a backpack). It fit perfectly as a carry-on in every plane I took, both US and French planes. I dragged this suitcase all over France with its uneven sidewalks, dirt paths, cobblestoned streets, pedestrian steps, etc. This little suitcase went through, what sometimes appeared to be war zones, and none of the wheels broke off! In other words, it took a lot of abuse, and it held up well! It was easy to maneuver with the swivel wheels, but only on smooth surfaces. Those cobblestoned streets and beat-up sidewalks required the suitcase to be pulled from behind. But when in smoother conditions, the suitcase glided right along side of me very easily. I highly recommend this TravelPro Carry-On!

This is for the 28-inch model. When I received this suitcase, it seemed like it was just right for what I needed it for: A longer trip where I'd need to pack for more than 10 days and check the bag. It was lightweight and seemed sturdy, although even initially the zippers felt a bit flimsy. Was I right about that one.Half way through the first trip it was taken on, a 12-day jaunt through 3 cities, I tried to close the zipper only to find that it had opened u on its own behind the zip. I was able to work the zip back such that the zipper sipped again, but (a) there was never that much stress on it (the suitcase was never over-packed) and (b) it hadn't been zipped and unzipped more than a few times. That it came apart that easily did not give me any faith that it would stay together. (Thank goodness I had a luggage strap.)And when I got to my 3rd destination, when I put the suitcase on the bed, I noticed that one of the wheels was simply missing. No idea when it could have happened. Certainly when I was rolling it through airports and train stations and hotels and sidewalks I never banged it. But heck, there's no way that the wheel assemblies should not be built to take much more than anything it could have endured on this one trip.Thing is, even if the company were to reach out and offer a replacement, it would not be something I could trust to last. There is no sturdiness to this product, and for something that is meant to travel with , to be opened and closed and rolled and tossed, for it to fail in not one, but two places so, so quickly suggests to me that this is not a product that could reasonably be considered to be of even middling quality and is not one that could reasonably be expected to last even a short amount of time.Not recommended.

I bought this bag to replace a Travelpro Crew Roll Aboard that was at least 20 years old. I packed this little guy with everything I needed for 2 weeks in Europe. I had planned to check it but because of an airline booking error I had to carry it on a regional jet. I am an old woman and I was able to grab this bag by its top and side handles and slide it into the bin no problem. It rolls along upright on smooth surfaces, tips to roll over cobblestones and rough paths. The telescoping handle feels solid. I carried it on trains, checked it on three flights and an overnight bus. It looks good as new. I got the blue because it was a little cheaper and it is just enough different to stand out on the carousel.I particularly like that both sides have full covered zippered compartments that eliminate the need for compression cubes.I managed to get everything in that I packed for the trip plus a bottle of artisan gin, a bottle of grappa and a bottle of Croatian olive oil.I looked at other bags but decided to reward Travelpro for the excellent service I got from my old Crew bag.
