International Carry-On Spinner

For those that are not aware, the size limitations for carry-on luggage, for non-US carrier carriers, within the EU are different than in the US. The size of the carry-on is much smaller and the regional EU airlines regularly enforce the size and weight limits. This bag is the only high-quality, light-weight, carry-on that meets the EU requirements. The bag rolls smoothly, has a strong handle and the wheels did not break as they rolled over the cobblestone streets in Italy. The light weight allows you to pack more into the bag without going over the 17lb limit that most carriers require. I was able to fit 2 week's worth of clothing for a trip.

Bought specifically to meet European very restrictive airline carry on requirements (e.g., Lufthansa). Quality: Smooth & sturdy rolls, great zippers, sturdy fabric, very light weight for 4 wheel carry on. Greatest pro: extremely spacious considering the size. Was able to fit in (for fall season): 3 pairs of pants, 3 sweaters, one puffer vest, one Helly Hansen crew rain jacket, one long wool coat (not lined), one Jeans Jacket, one dress, one skirt, 1pair of ballet flats, one pair of sneakers, 3 scarves, 3 tshirts, underwear and stockings. (Note I am not tiny but wear size XL) Bag was pre-checked by Lufthansa before boarding. Size was fine but had to take wool coat out b/c overall weight was exceeding max weight limits. After I obtained my ‘carry on approved’ tag from Lufthansa, I put my coat back in and had no further issues. ;-) Will most likely buy more for rest of family.

Good quality carry on! Love the different compartments, expands just enough when needed. Is super lite and easy to handle!

Lightweight, practical and sized right.

The size of the TravelPro Maxlite 5 Compact Carry-on 20” is exactly as stated. (I measured it). Which means that it’s very small for a 5 day trip. This carry on meets the size limits of Hawaiian Airlines. I didn’t check it in, so I can’t comment on it’s durability at being thrown around. All I did was put it in the car, wheel it to the gate, put it in the overhead bin, wheel it to my hotel room, and vice versa. It survived. This is my 1st spinner bag. I had a 2-wheeler which always tipped over, so I wanted 4 wheels to prevent tipping. I expected this not to tip at all, but it did tip over once at the airport. Of course right in front of TSA check point. So, it’s not 100% tip-proof. Pros: -very lightweight -rolls easily on flat surfaces -doesn’t tip most of the time -seems durable enough (strong zippers zipped, powerscope handle went up and down, carry handles seem strong, softside is strong material which didn’t rip, wheels didn’t break, hold straps worked inside) Cons: -I aired it out for a whole week in the garage and backyard. Still has strong odor. -rollers got caught on some cracked/stone walkways -the expandable feature is a joke. It’s only about 1.5”x8.5” expanding. Maybe 1 pair of W sized 12 jeans. The reason is that only a portion of the bottom expands; the top 1/2 of the suitcase tapers to “non-expanding”. This case does not deserve ‘expandable’ in the description. -when you open the suitcase on a rack, the lid does not stay straight open. Because the bag tapers, the lid is at an odd angle and it falls over. I didn’t like this at all. It seems that after a lot of traveling you are putting stress on the lid hinge and it won’t last long. Plus, it kept falling over and doesn’t stay open. -the front pocket is almost useless. I couldn’t fit my paperback book in it. Overall, the case is ok. It’s not perfect, and I think it’s overpriced. I was disappointed in the so-called expandable feature and i don’t like that the lid doesn’t stay straight open. But it should serve it’s purpose and hopefully it lasts for a long time.

Excellent quality and design. Wheels are smooth. I’ve used it for several trips, still looks new. Always fits in the overhead space on airplanes. This replaced my larger samsonite carry on. Since airlines started to get picky about the size of carry ons, I wanted to something fail proof.

I bought the 19” during Amazon sale days to replace my well-worn & well-loved Swiss Gear Sion. My first trip involved 6 days travel via trains, planes, & busses. It held up without a scratch loading & unloading on all types of transportation. I was pleasantly surprised that I could get as much in it as my Sion, which is an inch wider. I pack light using a 2-compartment compression bag for clothes, my toiletry bag, 2 hoodies, underwear & swimsuit, my folding walking stick & heavy hiking sandals. The large zip outer pocket is great for holding a jacket. It also expands to hold even more stuff, yet fits well in overhead on planes. It’s lightweight & has lots of handles on top, bottom & sides. It’s durable and the wheels & extending handle all feel sturdy pulling over uneven surfaces. I am fully satisfied with this piece & recommend for other lightweight packers or long weekend travelers.

I’ve owned several TravelPro carryon suitcases over the years and have always been a loyal customer and believed they were absolutely the best suitcases around, but this latest purchase was a lemon! It lasted just two trips as carryon luggage and two flights as checked (in Spain/Portugal due to weight). As you can see if the photos there is one gash that’s definitely the fault of the airline (though I would have expected better resistance from the TravelPro material anyway), but the rest of the wear and tear is simply due to poor quality from TravelPro for this suitcase. If not for the durability, it was a great international carryon suitcase…lightweight, great features, plenty of space for my things. But ultimately, what a disappointment and waste of money!

It's a great carry-on luggage that will last a long time. Pros: -It's very light -Inside compartments makes organizing easier -On the smaller side of carry-on so it will never fail the carry-on size test -Looks very nice and can be used for business and vacation travels -Got beat up a few times - saw airport baggage workers throwing stuff around for transport lol. It still looks brand new Cons: -The wheels, while work well enough, feel somewhat cheap?? -If you travel more than 4 days at a time, the size 20 isn't for you - it will not have enough space for your stuff

Haven't used it yet but I did a test pack when I received it and from that it holds a good amount. Perfectly adequate for a short trip in winter or longer in summer with less bulky items. Very nice colour and great quality zips/materials. Obviously can't speak to durability but there's no obvious issues with materials, seams or hardware. The wheels are super smooth, even on carpet. Very pleased.

Its always a great product. Better then others for sure

Well made suitcase, which is suitable for up to three nights away. Plenty of pockets and zipped areas to keep items seperate. It's very light and easy to manouver, either on two wheels or four.

Te quality feels great. But the zippers could flow more.
