Best for: Frequent flyers who board with a plan, and overpackers determined to carry on anyway.
We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 53.3 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm (21 x 14 x 9 in.). The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 59.7 x 36.8 x 22.9 cm (23.5 x 14.5 x 9 in.). When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.
Its overall height (59.7 cm / 23.5 in.) is above the published carry-on limits of the Canadian airlines below, so it may not fit a strict airline sizer. Carry-on limits vary by airline, so compare the overall dimensions (59.7 x 36.8 x 22.9 cm (23.5 x 14.5 x 9 in.)) against yours before you fly:
| 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.
| Model | Overall size | Volume | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carry-On (this bag) | 59.7 x 36.8 x 22.9 cm (23.5 x 14.5 x 9 in.) | 46 L | Short to medium-length trips, maximum carry-on packing |
| International Carry-On | 55.2 x 40 x 19.7 cm (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.) | 39 L | International carriers with shorter height limits |
| Medium Check-In (25") | Checked | 97 L | 5-7 day trips |
| Large Check-In (29") | Checked | 143.5 L | Long trips, families, cruises |
A common mix-up: the International is not simply "smaller": it is shorter but wider than the Carry-On. If your airline enforces a strict limit, such as WestJet's 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in.) or Air Canada's 55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in.), compare each model's overall dimensions to that limit.
Yes. The zippered expansion adds about 5.1 cm (2 in.) of 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.
The tapered expansion design adds up to 5.1 cm (2 in.) of additional packing capacity. The tapered shape keeps the centre of gravity low to help prevent the spinner from tipping when expanded.
The Platinum Elite 21" Spinner is designed for short to medium-length trips. Customer reviews on the product confirm it works well for both short and longer trips when paired with the expansion feature.
Yes. The Platinum Elite Carry-On includes a drop-in, fold-out suiter that helps keep clothes wrinkle-free during travel. The suiter also doubles as a removable garment bag.
The carry-on uses Travelpro's PrecisionGlide System with eight MagnaTrac self-aligning, 360-degree spinner wheels, guided by an adjustable PowerScope extension handle with a Contour Grip and rubberized touch points.
The PowerScope airline-grade aluminum extension handle minimizes wobble and has four height stops at 36", 38", 40", and 42.5" to accommodate users of different heights.
Yes. It has external USB-A and USB-C ports wired to a dedicated power-bank pocket. Bring your own power bank (not included), drop it in the pocket, and charge without opening the bag. CATSA advises keeping power banks with you in the cabin, not in checked baggage or the overhead bin, and some airlines limit their use on board, so check with your airline.
Yes. The removable quart-size wet pocket is TSA compliant and built to store and retrieve toiletries quickly while travelling through security or at your destination. At Canadian airports, CATSA asks for liquids in containers of 100 ml or less, all in one clear, resealable plastic bag of no more than 1 L.
Yes. The high-density nylon fabric features a DuraGuard coating that resists stains, abrasions, and moisture, so the spinner stays looking great through frequent travel.
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.

"Two flights in and I’m appreciating little details I missed when selecting this bag. For example, when storing it in the overhead compartment there is no guarantee which way it faces and the handle placed on the bottom by the wheels is well designed for either pulling it out or catching it. It’s hard and sturdy for its purpose and lends a bit of confidence to gathering things under pressure when everyone is waiting to disembark. Kudos to the designers."
"First note: I travel 25+ times a year for work. In 2016, I bought the TravelPro Crew 10 from Amazon due to brand reviews and needing a sturdy companion. The Crew 10 has been a soldier, bringing me to hundreds of locations through mostly business trips and a few personal excursions sprinkled in. She has been strong, knows who she is, her wheels have been so sturdy and reliable, and she only has tipped over when she was overly burdened on the topside. Sadly, her zipper finally said it was about time to visit the old folk's home. I still held off. Finally, after a few of holding off and not being sure if we would hold all of our things, a month ago I decided to pull the trigger on a new luggage "BFF. " I chose the TravelPro again due to prior experience, flight crews' loyalty, and picked the Platinum Elite version after a few new professional levels since 2016. Alas...the first time I took new boo for a ride, she was wobbly and uncertain. She tilted over, she didn't navigate well across bumps. I tried giving her a chance over the next two work trips....but she has been disappointing. Sad as I love to be loyal....but this has not been a good experience."
"I haven't used my new Travelpro carry-on yet but I'm very much looking forward to it. Upon first inspection it is everything I hoped it would be. It rolls so freely I'm half afraid I'll have trouble keeping up with it in the airport terminal. After two years of taking care of my 96-year-old mother in hospice, I'm now able to travel the world, which I plan to do copiously. I really wanted the best luggage I could afford because I've travelled enough to know what a nightmare a broken wheel or handle can be on the other side of the world. I have 100% confidence that my new Travelpro carry-on will get me where I want to go . . . and back. This is my second Travelpro carry-on. My other one is 20 years old and still going strong. It is now my backup. In my experience . . . Travelpro is the only way to go."
"Love it it’s a little smaller than my other one but I’ve suction packing bags that makes it work. Love the matching back pack it’s tremendous cause it meets all my needs and has storage places where they should be!!!!"
"I love the Travelpro Elite carryon. Walking distances in a large airport is very difficult for me. My Travelpro Elite corrected this problem. I was able to quickly move through crowds and maneuver tight spaces."
"Not a big fan can’t fit much in it American terminal three"
"Not bad. Seems to be pretty well constructed if a bit over engineered. Lightweight and easy to lift. Good handles although the extension pull sticks a bit when adjusting up and down. Feels slightly cheaper than I expected. Rolls very well on concrete or tiles but sticks horribly on carpet. It’s a little disappointing but workable. I got it at a huge discount so I can’t complain."
"Love the wheels. Fits everything I need."
"The bag withstood 20 days of planes, trains and automobiles around Portugal. I would say it was a bit small for 20 days. I purchased 2 sweatshirts-otherwise, nothing else was fitting! With the bag fully packed the powerscoping handle would only come up part way which was really annoying and made rolling the bag on tiled sidewalks and thru airports/metros challenging. The exterior seems well made and looks good after the trip. Disappointed in the powerscoping arm failing. Otherwise, like the bag and the exterior pockets."
"Really like the wheels and how smooth it rolls. Main complaint is the telescoping handle sometimes gets stuck."
