Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Carry on Luggage, 8 Wheel Spinner, TSA Lock, Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Vintage Grey, Compact Carry on 20-Inch

This case travels very well. It fits perfectly in every overhead bin I've put it in. It rolls smoothly, and the magnetically aligned wheels keep it rolling straight. The multi height pull bar is great. Lots of pockets to put travel necessities in, and the charger pass-thru works well and is a pretty cool feature. The zippers are very nice and engage well. On a definitely overstuffed case, I was able to zip down the expansion with ease without worrying if I'd split a zipper. The combination lock is easy to set and functions flawlessly, and is TSA approved. The color and styling points are very nice, and are durable enough to withstand baggage handlers when it needs to be gate checked on crowded flights. Comfortably holds a week's worth of clothes and an extra pair of shoes, with room for a toiletry bag and some additional odds and ends.

Since I've purchased this suitcase, its been with me on about 100k miles worth of travel. It really was worth every penny. Its still in excellent condition. The wheels roll smoothly, and you can stack a backpack or smaller travel bag easily on the handle. I can fit about 5 days worth of clothes, and its expandable in case you need to stuff a couple more days in. And I can still fit a toiletry bag and a small cpap unit inside. And with all that, it's still small enough to carry on, even when expanded. The zippers are heavy duty and are easy to zip and unzip even when packed full. Ive seriously got no complaints. This bag is perfect for the professional traveler.

Much lighter than a 28" hardside suitcase should be, and it rolls *so* well. Easily the best wheels on any luggage I've used yet, including other Travelpro. That 28" holds a lot, but takes some getting used to packing this way. There's an expansion zipper which is half closed in my photo. This is my first hard-sided suitcase, and I was a little worried (old horror stories of suitcases breaking)- I even carried straps for emergency repair. But I shouldn't have been. After 2 very long haul flights, 2 long haul flights, two commuter train rides, two amtrak rides, and a mix of cars, taxis, airports, and train stations between them? All with extreme weather changes? There was only one small scratch on one of the corner metal reinforcements. Literally not another scratch anywhere on the thing. I was shocked. The size? Massive. This is what you use for a 2 week trip, or if if you're doing multiple climates, or planning to bring back stuff. I nicknamed it "Big Blue". It does lend itself to overpacking, but also packing this thing is different than a normal top-loading. It opens in the middle, with a zippered compartment on each side. Unlike a softside, there's no give to the outside walls, so things fit differently. If you overfill, you won't be able to close the suitcase (although the expansion gives you an 1-2 inches of "oopsie" space). You can also use that middle/expansion space to stash a few items for easy access (or airport purchases), since getting to the main compartments during transit requires a spot big enough to lay out your enormous suitcase and open it like a clam. Trust me, you want to avoid doing that. Another concern: This things rolls and balances so well you might forget how heavy it really is. Put another bag on the handle, and that might be 60-80lbs (or more, if you're allowed excess weight). Be super careful jumping this over curbs or otherwise manhandling it- that's how hernias happen. Other thoughts: Even with the expansion zipper closed, it's too large to take on most escalators- you'll be going the elevator route. It won't fit between the facing seats on the New York LIRR if the expansion is full. It needs the bottom space on the Amtrak luggage rack. This is the largest suitcase I've ever owned, and it only comes out for specific kinds of trips. And it DOES prompt strangers to ask about your trip because you look like you might be moving abroad. But for those specific trips, it's perfect.

I have a Travel pro checked bag that I love love love. I just took it for a month to europe. The rollability was super helpful for a solo female traveler. It helped me successfully navigate cobblestones in Berlin and sidewalk drains in london and uneven sidewalks in Spain. I decided to splurge and buy a carry-on from them even though I had one, because I wanted something that rolled as nicely. (I found myself wrestling with my carry on while my big travelpro bag rolled along delightfully.) However I am returning it. When I unzipped it a rivet fell out and I haven't been able to figure out where it came from. The design, between the pronounced handle channels and the big laptop pocket, feels to me like it greatly reduces my available interior space. Also, the zipper that has to wrap around the curved front opening for the laptop is very difficult to pull. It's like the zipper teeth.Do not line up and one row of teeth tucks behind the other. It does roll delightfully however the super Difficult front zipper made it a deal breaker. Returning. Update: extra hassle - I had to be responsible to package the return after they sent me a defective item!!! Normally you just go to UPS and they do it. So I taped it back up in the crushed soft p.o.s. box it came in.

Just got back from a 4-day, 5-leg trip with the brand-new bag. Literally removing the stickers so I could pack it. On two of those legs, the bag was "valet checked," meaning it was dropped off on the jetway and returned to the jetway after the flight. Other legs were up in the overhead. Some thoughts: Pros: this is a well made bag, with a solid-feeling handle that locks firmly, and smooth rolling wheels. It's easy to glide along on all but the roughest carpets with just finger touch. Good zippers, and solid lock that's easy to set. Water-proof pouch inside is a nice touch. And it's a good looking bag, unique enough to set it off from all the generic "black square" carry-ons. The unique look makes it easier to see when they plop it onto the jetway, too. Attractive, solid bag. Cons: this bag is smaller than you'd think, and a couple of poor design choices make it feel even smaller. First, there two versions of this bag, the Compact Carry-on and the (slightly) larger Carry-on 21-inch. Based on the description that the Carry-on 21-inch is "sizer bin tested to fit in the overhead bins of most major domestic airlines," I was hoping for a larger, just-barely-legal bag I could put a lot into. In reality, it's no bigger than my 20" London Fog carry-on it replaced. Plus, the interior compartment design makes it feel smaller. The handles intruding into the case limits the space in one half, but that's been mentioned and pretty much standard if you have a retractable handle, although these feel a bit larger. The decision to have both compartments zip closed, instead of some kind of strap-down arrangement makes the space feel even smaller. You can see from the photo that there's about an inch and a half of "dead space" before the zipper on the top which makes it much harder to utilize the space below it. You have to kind of wedge the clothes in under the "flap." I'd much rather have (at least) one side that's open, and they could easily have reduced the size of the "flap" before the zipper. I couldn't conceive of buying the smaller Compact Carry-on. I could take or leave the external USB ports, and you can see the scuffs on the polycarbonate hard shell with just a small introduction to the travel experience. More than I expected, but pretty much par for the course. (Guess I was hoping for a birdie experience here.) Overall: good bag limited in space by some design choices.

I am absolutely in love with this luggage. When it was delivered I was super excited. The color was amazing. They ease of the way it rolled was exciting and I was pleasantly surprised that it had locks on it as well so no one could get into your luggage. Also, doubly exciting, you can purchase a power bank to use with the luggage so you always have a charger with you, especially at airports that don't have built in outlets in their seats (who does that anymore?). Anyway, took my first trip with this luggage a few weeks ago and this luggage wins hands down over any other luggage I've ever had in my life. At first I was a little skeptical about how much I'd be able to fit in it compared to past luggage. It didn't seem to have as much room. Much to my surprise, I was able to fit a week's worth of clothes, toiletries AND 3 pairs of shoes in this suitcase and not have to unzip the expander. I could've easily gotten more inside with the zipper expanded. Once we got to the airport was my real test. My right hand is usually aching by the time we get to our gate because of the amount of pressure I need to use to roll the bag and keep it on course. With this bag, I could've maneuvered it with one finger. It so easily rolled alongside me and even rolled without me even touching it. The handle has several adjustable heights so my husband who is 6'2" is able to have it at a comfortable level but so am I at 5'1". This luggage is amazing. The price may seem steep but it is well worth it!

This was a gift. I have had another one for quite awhile. It has held up very well.

Excellent carry on. Husband said he could easily push/pull the suitcase around with two fingers. Very smooth. Held 4 days of clothes for Miami easily without even using the expansion. We love the color and weight of it. Only time will tell if the wheels last and will survive check in if needed. So far all the reviews are correct. Might even splurge for the bigger suitcase and get me a matching carry on. Good upgrade from the other popular brand we have. Love the look too. Pricey for the size but willing to invest if it makes life easier to travel through the airport. So far so good! Would recommend.
