TravelproMaxlite 5 Softside Expandable Upright 2 Wheel Carry on Luggage, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Black, Carry On 22-Inch

As a flight attendant, I didn’t think this luggage would last longer than a year. 4 years and 1200 flights later, it’s still in good shape, works well, and still looks good. The 2 wheel version has significantly more capacity than a 4 wheel of the same size. As a flight attendant, this luggage gets more abuse because I hang a lunch bag on a J hook from the handle. The lunch bag is heavy too - I carry protein drinks and a bottle of wine.

So after I read a bunch of cruddy reviews about this rollaboard, I was all freaked out and spent hours trying to find something better that wasn't like $800+ (and even those really weren't better). But everything else was a little too small, too cheaply made, too many more complaints than even here, too... well... Too too. So I sucked it up and bought this Travelpro bag and it still lives up to my last two bags (this one is a teeny TINY bit smaller). And some of the complaints like "the legs are flimsy and are attached with pressure pins (or something like that) rather than screws" are just plain ol' not true.Y'all make your own decisions, but this thing actually feels tougher than my second Travelpro that just recently had to be buried in the backyard, but only after 13 years of heavy service to the tune of at least 3/4 million miles on SW during that time. Time will tell, but I think Travelpro still has it. If it doesn't, I will update here. I am still traveling at least 15 to 20 trips a year with about half of them to Cen.Am. (how else can I keep companion pass?). My first Travelpro bag lasted 14 years (and well over a million miles of US and international travel) and my second lasted 13 years, so by some standards the quality has gone down, but not really folks. ¡Buen viaje!

Perfect

I bought two of these in a rush as we needed them for a family trip, and this model was in stock vs. the spinner. While I wish the 4-wheel 21-inch model would have been available in time (that one is listed as: Case Dimensions: 21 inches x 14 inches x 9 inches; Overall Dim: 23 inches x 14.5 inches x 9 inches; Weight: 5.4 lbs, Vol: 46 liter) , this 20-inch model actually is closer to the Ryanair specs as of August 2022.(TravelPro does offer an "international" 19-inch spinner model on its own site, but that one has slightly less capacity at 39L and was not in stock within my timeframe. Specs: Overall Dimensions: H: 21.75 in. W: 15.75 in. D: 7.75 in. Case Dim: H: 19 in. W: 15 in. D: 7.75 in. Weight: 5.3 lbs. Vol: 39 L)I'm happy to report that this 20-inch two-wheel style met Ryanair's specifications with nary a second glance. Ironically I was forced to check it on a Delta/KLM codeshare, because the flight was very full. The Azure Blue looked pretty much good as new when it showed up on the carousel, despite being checked onto two connecting flights. Post-trip pic attached - any color variation in the full-length pic is due to shadows, not dirt. Azure Blue is actually a nice warm blue, first pic is just a little overexposed due to afternoon sun. See second photo for color comparison.(Actually the bag looked better than my also brand-new hardshell American Tourister (ABS) spinner which was checked on the same flights and emerged with several long scuffs. But they both did the job which was to protect my belongings and remain intact.)I appreciate that this TravelPro has some higher-end features: all the zippers, even the ones on the interior mesh divider, are two-way (i.e. not just a single one-way zipper); the telescoping handle has two height adjustments; the wheels run smoothly and in fact track so well that you can push the bag down an aisle instead of pulling it, allowing for more maneuverability; the grab handle on the bottom makes it easier to move when loading into an overhead compartment; it's stable and not tippy even when fully loaded and with extra bags resting on top. It does not have locking zippers though you can use a small padlock to secure the zips. My one caveat is that I wish the side grab handle was oriented vertically or diagonally when the bag is standing upright, instead of horizontally. That would make it easier to grab when it is lying on its side (e.g. on a carousel) or to carry when walking in close quarters, as if it were a briefcase.Last thing that I really like about this bag is that it is quite light (5.4 lbs, vs. other similar models from diff brands which can clock in at up to 8.2 lbs), which makes it far easier for me to hoist it over my head. I am >5 feet tall so when I put it into an overhead bin I need to stand on the seat or lift it in a full overhead press, so every ounce saved matters to me. Plus of course the lighter the bag, the more capacity I have for my belongings.Quite happy with this purchase!

This product was not what I anticipated. I have another 22 inch carry on that I have had for over 25 years. It's basically indestructible but heavy at 12.5 pounds. The TravelPro holds less than my old Samsonite but as it turns out not by much. It looks smaller by a lot but mainly because it is much lighter at 5.4 pounds. It sure is not built as sturdily as my old one and I would hesitate to check it because of the abuse baggage handlers can subject to it. But as a true carry on coupled with a 16 inch under seat rollaboard that I bought with it, I have plenty of space for a two week trip overseas. I considered returning it but decided to keep it. And actually the price is very attractive. Other more expensive TravelPro luggage like the crew line look more durable but are heavier and more expensive. I think you get what you pay for.

A bit heavy but build construction is very solid/durable. Have traveled around the world 3x with this luggage and it's held up very well.

To replace wheels for this bag the 70mm x 19mm wheels fit perfect.Nice light bag , of course not as sturdy as the travel pro series for flight crew.
