Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Checked Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Black, Checked Medium 25-Inch

For those that are not aware, the size limitations for carry-on luggage, for non-US carrier carriers, within the EU are different than in the US. The size of the carry-on is much smaller and the regional EU airlines regularly enforce the size and weight limits. This bag is the only high-quality, light-weight, carry-on that meets the EU requirements. The bag rolls smoothly, has a strong handle and the wheels did not break as they rolled over the cobblestone streets in Italy. The light weight allows you to pack more into the bag without going over the 17lb limit that most carriers require. I was able to fit 2 week's worth of clothing for a trip.

When it comes to spinner wheels, I've found the Travelpro luggage to be the best. I've had a mix of different suitcase brands over the years (including Samsonite) and the Travelpros are the only ones that haven't had wheel issues. This one is nicely designed as a carry-on that passes the most recent standards. It also has TSA approved locks built in for the zippers if that's of interest. Like all Travelpro luggage it's well made and will be useful until the airlines do another carry-on "shrinkage" in their ongoing campaign to get more luggage checked.

This carry on is so light weight and the smoothness of the wheels is so much better than I was expecting. I was surprised by how much I could pack in for a 5-day weekend. I feel very lucky to have found this suitcase, and the low price was just a real bonus.

As airline carry-on sizes have gotten smaller and smaller, on many flights I've stopped taking two small carry-ons and instead just taking one bag and checking it. I like this one because it's by far the lightest bag of its size (25"), yet its extremely well made. The dark red is a nice color. It rolls very well on rough sidewalks, and the handle is long enough for a tall person to feel comfortable. It's not a fussy suitcase, but it has a nice large out pocket for a jacket between the outer pockets and the inside, and it has a full zipper expansion for more room.

This is a nicely made carryon and very light in weight. I recently used it for a 10 day trip and it worked very well. My only issue was my former carryon a third small pocket on the front that I used to hold my phone and glasses when going through TSA. That's a minor issue, though, and overall I'm pleased with my purchase. I especially like the four way wheels as it's a lot less strain on my shoulder compared to pulling the bag behind me. I recommend this item.

What a great carry-on!! I never would have believed how much I could get into this bag, but with using the 'rolling technique', it blew me away!! Very light in weight, very comfortable to roll around airports. Fit into overhead bins on the plane with no problems. I will definitely order another TravelPro, in a larger size, if needed in the future.

I am very happy with my purchase, I've travelled ALOT (104 countries so far) and I personally love having a rollaboard carry-on and especially one that has a long enough handle for me to easily roll it through airports (I am 5'10" tall), and having just a single, large compartment in which to pack, makes it much easier for me to load my things in. Different than the hard-sided, clam shell case the airlines send at a replacement to my other soft-sided rollaboard, this one allows for more capacity. The extra side handle and one on the bottom, between the wheels, makes picking it up much easier. The lightweight material is also good, for those countries that actually weigh your carry-on luggage too! The wheels roll nicely (I know, it is new) and that whole bag is very sturdy. Even though this doesn't have a built-in TSA lock, which was originally on my requirements list, the fact that I don't intend on checking this bag, made that a non-issue. I have my own separate TSA lock on it, just in case I do have to check it. I'm sure I'll have this one for a very long time. It holds my tote bag nicely as well. I highly recommend this suitcase.

The suitcase itself is great, as far as functionality. I specifically wanted a soft-sided suitcase that is not a clamshell as they take up too much space. I also prefer a color that stands out, for easy identification. But the pale pink was filthy dirty by the time it arrived in the baggage claim from the first flight it went on.
