Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Carry-On Luggage Upright, Black, 21-Inch

This good-looking rolling, carry-on suitcase is built to last! That's why TravelPro is a preferred choice of flight attendants and pilots. At the price of suitcases today you can't afford to repeatedly replace cheapo ones, when you'd be better off putting a few more dollars toward one that will securely and handsomely take you anywhere in the world--for a very long time. I chose the rollaboard style (2 wheels) as opposed to spinners (4 wheels) which are not as sturdy and durable especially over uneven pavement and cobblestones. And the softside fabric exterior won't show rough handling as much as shiny, hard plastic luggage. The quality and features really shine throughout: --SO lightweight it will be easy to place in overhead bins. --This particular bag has been repeatedly proven to fit within sizing limitations for all domestic and most international airlines. --More packing volume than a "spinner". --Expandable! Although utilizing that feature may negate it fitting in an overhead bin. --Comfortable handle (adjustable height) and smooth rolling wheels. --Sturdy, heavy duty smooth running zippers --Spacious, well-thought out interior and exterior compartments, and convenient exterior storage for a laptop. --Awesome warranty VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Dollar for dollar.....this one is made for the long haul....not like a flash in the pan suitcase that looks shiny and new, but will need replacing in a couple of years because it is not made of the tough stuff like TravelPro.

My brother in law who works for a major airlines suggests this bag as a carry on because it fits no matter whiat airline you fly. I watched it for months and decided to give it a try for my last trip. She is lightweight and the zipper quality is top notch. I liked the wheels on the bag because they are higher quality and they will be durable. Easy to maneuver in the airport. The color wasn’t my first choice but it was on sale and I didn’t want black since everyone has black. I wanted to stand out so I would know it was my bag. I’m glad I got it. The inside of the bag has a zipper pouch and the lining also can be opened up so you can put your shoes in there away from your clothes. The handle is strong too.

Very light and works well for short trips. Fits in overheads on smaller planes as well. Comfortable handles and appears well made. Hope it lasts.

I would’ve given this luggage five stars, but the fact that it only had two wheels bothered me and I was going by an influencer to get this carry-on. As far as everything else it was wonderful very lightweight. It held a lot for its size. It passed inspection at the airport for a carry-on. I use Southwest and American. I’m sure if it was four wheels it would be bigger and it may possibly have been too big to take on board so that’s a consideration all in all it was very good luggage.

This luggage rolls so nice and easy and has the two wheels vs the spinners that it allows the case to hold more items and still fit almost every airline that measures a carry on. It has a firm and nice extendable handle that allows for a nice balanced load. The pockets and zippers work nicely and have ample room for extra items. I am extremely pleased go have this and look forward to using it on my trips.

Decades long frequent traveler. This meets requirements of domestic and international carriers for carryons. The bag is well built from sturdy yet lightweight materials. This is for serious travel: the two wheel option is good on cobble stone in Paris or Kyoto. If you are the kind of traveler who travels once a year domestically and all you do is wheel it from terminal A to terminal B, a spinner (four wheels) may be better for you. Also, domestically you can generally get away with a slightly larger bag (21 in or even 22 in). But for serious travel this is perfect: It is lightweight, has two wheels (not four) which works well in rugged environments and maximizes pay load dimensions (four wheelers waste space, you loose one inch) and importantly you will not be asked to check the carryon when traveling internationally.

I bought this rolling backpack as a carryon for a trip abroad. When I received it, I discovered that using the shoulder straps (this IS a backpack) was unbelievably clunky, involving folding the entire back flap {that concealed the straps when not in use) down underneath the pack itself, over the wheels (?) which just didn't make sense at all...For one, the back flap had padding that would ONLY be useful when the pack was being used as a backpack...so why even have the padding if it is going to be folded under the pack? And two, what you end up with is, as noted before, a sloppy flap, fastened by a small piece of velcro, hanging down the over the bottom of the pack, essentially making the wheels useless. I thought, "Maybe I just don't understand how this thing is supposed to be used," but my honest impression was, somebody decided the company needed a rolling backpack in its product line, and threw this idea together in a few minutes...The design, however, was not the worst thing about it...I also immediately noted that the straps themselves seemed to be made with fairly lightweight nylon, with virutally no paddingf or your shoulders, which I could only guess had something to do with the fact the straps needed to be less bulky to make it easier to pack them away under the aforementioned flap when not in use. Nevertheless, I liked the wheeled backpack concept, the size and all the pockets...and as I was leaving in a matter of days...decided to keep it. Bad decision. Several weeks into the trip, when lifting the pack to put it on my back, one of the nylon shoulder straps just snapped in two...which was dumbfounding to me, as, after having used backpacks for over 50 years, this was something I had never seen happen. Nylon straps just breaking? At that point, I had no choice but to continue using it with one strap (any sort of repair was not possible) and then return it for a refund when I got home. Upon arrival, I went to Amazon the next day and discovered that my 30 day return window had expired, which was fair enough...So I contacted the manufacturer directly, expecting them to certainly allow me to return it to them...Howeve, after informing them of the strap break, I was then told that as I had bought the backpack through Amazon, I would have to contact them...which was just amazing to me. It would have been one thing if I'd kept the backpack too long simply because I was lax in deciding whether or not I wanted to keep it...but when I contact a company and tell them that their product failed after two weeks...and have them send me elsewhere to set things straight? Mindboggling to me. Luckily, when I explained the situation to Amazon, they did allow me to return it for a full refund, so everything worked out fine in the end...But I would therefore definitely recommend against buying this product...both for the design, and more importantly, for the quality...And beyond that, I will not do business with their company again. I'd also add, this is the first review I have ever submitted about anything.

This is a fantastic bag. It's a great size that allows for a lot of things. If you are planning on European train travel, this was a little big for hauling up and down stairs and fitting between seats. A smaller bag would have sufficed, but this one was manageable. It is well made.

Suitcase was wobbly/unstable upon receipt. I'm returning it.

To low quality for my taste, even if its work the price on that level

Rezension nach 2 Jahren Gebrauch als Berufspendler: Exzellentes und smartes Gepäckstück mit sehr hohem Gebrauchswert. Ich bin über 1.90m gross und hadere sonst immer mit zu kurzen Griffstangen, was hier aber sehr gut gelöst wurde. Aufteilung durchdacht und auch nach 2 Jahren tadellos, somit durchaus vergleichbar mit Samsonite oder sogar Victorinox👍🏼

Super tamaño muy lijero en cuanto a su peso , resistente

Excellent bag at a very good price. Light weight and provides plenty of space. Travelpro invented the two-wheeled roller bag and it shows. Very easy to pull along. The only issue is that the handle is not the smoothest to extend or retract. We have used other Travelpro bags for several years now and they are still going strong.
