I haven't used it yet,
"I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be to be all advertised and most importantly it is the only international carryon that meets the 8 in width requirements."
Best for: Business travellers who refuse to check a bag, and overpackers determined to carry on anyway.
We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 50.8 x 38.1 x 19.6 cm (20 x 15 x 7.75 in.). The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 55.2 x 40 x 19.6 cm (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.). When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.
It is sized to meet the 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in.) carry-on limit of Air Canada, Porter, Flair and Air Transat. At 40 cm (15.75 in.) wide, it is wider than WestJet's 36 cm (14 in.) limit. Canadian carriers publish their own limits, so compare the overall dimensions (55.2 x 40 x 19.6 cm (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.)) against your airline:
| Airline | Published carry-on limit |
|---|---|
| Air Canada | 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in.) |
| WestJet | 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in.) |
| Air Transat | 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in.) |
Regional jets have smaller bins, so expect to gate-check on those flights regardless of brand. And every bag is covered by our 30-day return policy.
Yes. The zippered expansion adds extra packing depth, and a fully expanded bag may not fit a strict airline sizer. If your airline enforces its sizer, board with the bag unexpanded and save the expansion for the trip home or checked segments.
Yes. The exterior fabric has a DuraGuard® coating that resists water and stains, so it holds up to rainy sidewalks and daily wear.
Start at our Customer Service Center, where you can register your bag, file a warranty claim, and request replacement parts. If the issue is covered, Travelpro provides replacement parts or, when a bag cannot be repaired under an active warranty, a replacement bag. Full coverage details are on the warranty information page, and common fixes you can do yourself are in our luggage repair guide.
Use a 50/50 mixture of alcohol and water, apply with a soft cloth, and gently rub the affected area until the spot lifts. Let the bag air dry completely before storing. A little lemon juice in the mixture freshens the fabric. More care tips are in our customer FAQ.

"I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be to be all advertised and most importantly it is the only international carryon that meets the 8 in width requirements."
"Very nice size and space for a carry-on case."
"Pleasantly surprised how much this bag holds. Really appreciate the two outer pockets. They are well padded. I will be using this bag often."
"I like it"
"NA"
"So happy to find a great carry on! I only do carry on and this one is a great size, durable and good pockets. I actually like the included lock feature, better than attaching my own!"
"I look forward to my trip to Italy with my max 5 intl carryon overhead and my max lite pro soft tote underseat match . . . fits the bin check! no baggage claim!"
"This is my 3rd Travelpro bag. My Premium Elite Spinner Carryon is going to be a tad too big for the BA carryon limits on so I am giving this a try. This is feather light and will fit what I need for an 8 day UK trip. No shortage of quality despite the lower cost. Very pleased."
"Not sure where the hype is from. Basic suitcase. Mono directional wheels like in the 70’s. Better options available especially at the price point. Do not recommend"
"I'm very happy with my purchase. I ordered my bag on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. Good quality bag. I was looking for a light weight bag for International travel, I needed something that would allow me to comply with the 8kg weight restriction for carry on. Looking forward to testing it on my upcoming trip to the Azores."
