Travelpro Platinum Elite 22" Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard

I used Travelpro back in 2007-2009 and they were already good. But could not match (to my taste) Briggs & Riley. Now, this Travelpro matches the quality of Briggs or brands like Tumi. Amazing purchase!

This is NOT a big carry-on that strains the size limit of overhead bins, especially if flying internationally or on a smaller regional jets. This is a "smaller" carry-on so know what you're getting! But if that is what you need, you will never find a better quality bag. The TravelPro bags will literally last you decades. You see flight crews with them for a reason. Yes they are pricey, but quality comes at a cost. You can rationalize spending a hundred bucks more for an excellent, well crafted bag like this knowing you will not be throwing it out after a couple years because something broke like happens on the cheapies. This rolls incredibly well for a bag you pull, smooth & silent. The bag's material is heavy duty, nice looking construction, top quality, classy. And you NEED those little zippered pouches in front for your ticket or passport of wallet or cell phone or other small things for fast access to, beware of bags with no small front zippered compartments, you'll miss that convenience. So just note this is 3 or 4 inches smaller than the "full size allowable" carry-on. It is the same width as the others, a couple inches shallower, and 3 or 4 inches shorter, so the inside compartment is indeed smaller than those full size carry-ons. But hey, sometimes you don't need a big bag, right? This one is for a short trip where you only need to take a few days of clothing...think 3 day weekend getaway trip, not week long vacation, and you'll be quite happy with this. You'll never go wrong with a Travel Pro.

I read a lot of reviews about the Travelpro luggage before I purchased and I’m really glad I did. I’m extremely pleased with the product …very well-made and I think it will stand up well to a fair bit of use in travelling.. I always believe with something like luggage. It pays to take your time before you make a decision … especially it was a lot of higher priced items.

I have two sizes of this and also the 25" check-in suitcase. They replaced 20+ year old two wheeled Victorinox cases that served me well, but I wanted the easier-to-use four wheel type.

I’ve had several similar bags from Travel Pro in the past with good luck but this bag was terrible. I used it literally three times and the handle release mechanism broke, very disappointing. This expensive bag is junk after a couple uses.

This bag appealed to me for 2 reasons: 1) It would never be too big to carry-on, and 2) There's no way to overpack this. It fits the bill on both counts. I've used it for international flights and short regional hops and have never had any problems keeping it by my side. Yes, it's extremely small, the roller bar's interior placement makes it even that much smaller, but that's the point. The supercompact profile forces me to not bring any more clothes than I'll need for a 2- or 3-day trip. The number of pockets is adequate for me, and I haven't had any issues with the zippers or the overall sturdiness. I look forward to using this bag for many more years to come.
