TSA PreCheck vs. Global Entry vs. CLEAR+: Which Is Best for You?
Compare TSA PreCheck, Global Entry and CLEAR to find the best airport security option for your travel habits and make your next trip easier.
Essential travel companions, designed to combine style, comfort, and functionality for any journey. Attach easily to any of our rolling luggage.
Travelpro® travel bags are the bags you carry alongside a suitcase or instead of one: travel tote bags, laptop backpacks, weekender bags, duffel bags and rolling garment bags. Platinum® Elite, Altitude™ and Crew™ Executive Choice™ 3 bags are nylon, and Maxlite® and Crew™ Classic bags are polyester.
In this collection the difference is the layout. The drop-bottom weekenders from Maxlite® 5 and Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® have a separate bottom compartment, so one part of your packing stays apart from the rest. Among the duffels, the Altitude™ Double Expansion Duffel adds room with zippered expansion, and the smaller Altitude™ Day-to-Day Duffel measures 11 x 17 x 8 in. and weighs 2.8 lb.
Both styles are close in footprint, so choose by how you pack. Each of the four bags listed above has a rear strap that fits around the extension handle of a rolling suitcase. Overall dimensions are the numbers to compare with your airline's carry-on or personal item limits before a flight.
Pick by how you travel. The Platinum® Elite Drop-Bottom Weekender (15 x 18.5 x 9 in., 42 liters) suits overnight trips, the Platinum® Elite UnderSeat Tote (10.25 x 16.5 x 7.5 in.) keeps in-flight essentials at your feet, and the Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack 20-24L (16 x 11 x 7.75 in.) handles the commute. For suits and dresses, the Platinum® Elite Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag measures 15.5 x 22.25 x 9.5 in. overall.
A personal item is a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of you, such as a tote, laptop bag or backpack, and it travels in addition to your carry-on. Personal-item limits vary by airline, and a common international limit is 18 x 14 x 8 in. Compare each bag's overall dimensions with your airline's rules in our carry-on size guide by airline.
The Platinum® Elite Drop-Bottom Weekender and Altitude™ Convertible Duffel/Backpack are sizer bin tested to fit the overhead bins of most major US airlines. Limits vary by airline: many major US airlines, including American, Delta and United, publish 22 x 14 x 9 in., while Frontier and Southwest allow 24 x 16 x 10 in. Compare the overall dimensions on each product page with your airline's limit in our carry-on size guide by airline.
