Frequently Asked Questions
Do the listed dimensions include wheels and handles?

We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 21 x 14 x 9 in. The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 23 x 14.5 x 9 in. When airlines publish carry-on size limits, they mean the overall size, wheels and handles included, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.

Will this carry-on fit my airline's size limits?

Yes, for the major U.S. airlines: it is sizer-bin tested to fit their carry-on sizers and overhead bins on mainline aircraft. Its 23 in. overall height is marginally above the commonly published 22 x 14 x 9 in. standard, typical of nearly all premium carry-ons, and it fits the sizers that airlines actually use.

AirlinePublished carry-on limit
American Airlines22 x 14 x 9 in.
Delta Air Lines22 x 14 x 9 in.
United Airlines22 x 14 x 9 in.
Southwest Airlines24 x 16 x 10 in.

Regional jets have smaller bins and usually mean gate-checking. Full carrier list in our carry-on size guide by airline.

Why does the weight matter so much on a carry-on?

At 5.4 lbs this is one of the lightest wheeled carry-ons we make, about 2 lbs lighter than premium peers. That matters twice: lifting into overhead bins, and on the many international carriers that cap cabin-bag weight at 15-22 lbs, where a lighter shell means more of the allowance goes to your things.

Does expanding the bag change whether it fits airline sizers?

Yes. The zippered expansion adds about 2 inches of packing depth, and a fully expanded bag may not fit a strict airline sizer. If your airline enforces its sizer, board with the bag unexpanded and save the expansion for the trip home or checked segments.

How do I make a warranty claim or get repairs?

Submit a repair request through our warranty repair page for an online evaluation, with photos of the issue and your proof of purchase (or product registration). If the issue is covered, Travelpro provides replacement parts or, when a bag cannot be repaired under an active warranty, a replacement bag. Prefer in-person help? Find the nearest authorized repair center. Full coverage details are on the warranty information page.

How do I clean and care for it?

Use a 50/50 mixture of alcohol and water, apply with a soft cloth, and gently rub the affected area until the spot lifts. Let the bag air dry completely before storing. A little lemon juice in the mixture freshens the fabric. More care tips are in our customer FAQ.

What warranty does this bag come with?

The Maxlite® 5 collection has its own coverage; see the Maxlite® 5 Warranty, plus the 100-day satisfaction trial with free returns.

Reviews

Everything about this carry-on meets

"Everything about this carry-on meets my expectations! I purchased it to replace some older luggage. It is especially lightweight, which helps my arthritic bones maneuver it up stairs, and also lift it into the overhead compartment. The fully directional wheels work exceptionally smoothly, allowing the luggage to essentially glide through the airport. So far the design of inner and outer spaces are sufficient for the way I pack for travel. Looking forward to many adventures using this Carry-On spinner!"

— Anne S. (5/5)

Took it on a couple

"Took it on a couple flights and a cruise. Walked to the port rolling them over a mile. Was smooth rolling, held everything we needed, looks great and expanded will for new purchases. Was light enough for wife and I to handle 2 rollers each. Very happy with the purchase."

— Arturo B. (5/5)

This is my second Maxlite

"This is my second Maxlite 5. My daughter stole my original 🤪 and this is a replacement. It’s everything I expected. Durable, lightweight, easy to roll, and matches my under seat carry on. I’m in a trip now, and as usual, the baggage handlers have already put her through a beating but she looks good. Just needs cleaning up a bit. Excellent quality! Would buy more pieces!!!"

— Lisa B. (5/5)

Weight and maneuverability are excellent.

"Weight and maneuverability are excellent. However, the luggage became damaged on first and only trip with normal conditions. The quality of the fabric used on the outside as well as the netting for inside pocket is apparently very poor and delicate. For the price, more durable materials should be used. I am very disappointed and regretful of this purchase."

— Milicent M. (2/5)

I loved my previous brand,

"I loved my previous brand, but this is my first Travelpro and this bag truly feels much lighter, and packs very easily! I'm most impressed by how much easier the wheels roll, which is particularly helpful since so many airports have carpet, which usually is much more difficult."

— Nikki M. (5/5)

Travelpro continues to be one

"Travelpro continues to be one of the most reliable luggage brands I’ve used. Their bags are clearly built with frequent travelers in mind — the wheels roll smoothly, the handles feel solid, and the overall construction holds up far better than most brands in the same price range. I especially appreciate the lightweight designs and smart features like expansion zippers, compression organizers, and USB charging ports on some models. After multiple trips, my Travelpro still looks great and performs flawlessly. It’s easy to see why flight crews trust this brand. If you want durable, well‑designed luggage that can handle real travel conditions, Travelpro is absolutely worth it."

— Stephen B. (5/5)

My sister bought me one

"My sister bought me one and I bought one for another sister and now just bought one for the sister who bought me one. It’s round robin. I love the quality. My one complaint is minor but annoying. I provided my cell and was promised a code for a discount. When I entered the code the site said it did not work. I considered cancelling but my sister was coming to visit and I wanted it delivered on time. Your company might want to look into this glitch."

— Leonor R. (5/5)

So far I’m really pleased

"So far I’m really pleased with the luggage. The wheels glide through the airport and the handle extends and retracts with ease. It’s light weight and easy to maneuver."

— Tyler C. (5/5)

Great carry-on bag for flying

"Great carry-on bag for flying around the world. With vacuum bags and careful outfit planning, I'm easily able to fit a 5-day wardrobe + travel pillow."

— Kenneth B. (5/5)

I have never received my

"I have never received my order! I ordered them on July 28th, they were to be delivered on Aug 8th! I have yet to receive my order. I have contacted customer service multiple times. They keep telling me they are checking into it. I would really appreciate hearing from your care team. Laura Hovey"
