    Small carry-on luggage with wheels, in three sizes

    A small carry-on from Travelpro® comes in one of three sizes, and every one is a small rolling suitcase or roller bag.

    A compact carry-on measures 22 x 14 x 9 in., an international carry-on measures 21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in., and a small roller suitcase for under the seat, such as the Maxlite® 5 Carry-On Rolling Underseat Bag, measures 17.5 x 14.5 x 8.5 in. These are overall dimensions, so they include the wheels and handles.

    Which carry-on luggage size suits international travel?

    For international travel, start with the international carry-on size: it is wider and slimmer than a compact carry-on. Many major US airlines publish a 22 x 14 x 9 in. carry-on limit, which is the compact size. International carriers often publish smaller or slimmer limits, and some also limit weight, so check your airline before you choose.

    You give up very little packing space with either small suitcase. The Platinum® Elite International Carry-On Spinner holds 39 L and weighs 7.7 lb, and the Platinum® Elite Compact Carry-On Hardside Spinner holds 40 L and weighs 7.8 lb.

    Small carry-on bags come in both shells. For softside, look at Maxlite® 5, Crew™ Classic and VersaPack®+. For a small hard shell carry-on, look at Platinum® Elite hardside, Platinum® Reserve™ and Maxlite® Air V2.

    Which compact or international carry-on should I choose?

    The Maxlite® 5 Compact Carry-On Spinner measures 22 x 14 x 9 in. and weighs 5.1 lb, and the Maxlite® 5 International Carry-On Spinner measures 21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in. and weighs 5.3 lb. For an under-seat bag on wheels, the Crew™ Classic Rolling UnderSeat Carry-On measures 17 x 14 x 8.75 in. and weighs 5.8 lb.

    Will a compact carry-on fit on US and international flights?

    The Maxlite® 5 Compact Carry-On Spinner and the Crew™ Classic Compact Carry-On Spinner are sizer bin tested to fit the overhead bins of most major US airlines. International airlines often publish smaller limits, and some also limit carry-on weight, so compare each product's overall dimensions with our guide to international luggage standards.

    Should I choose a spinner or a Rollaboard® for international travel?

    Both work, so it comes down to how you like to roll. The Maxlite® 5 International Carry-On Spinner and the Maxlite® 5 International Carry-On Rollaboard® both measure 21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in. A spinner rolls upright on wheels that turn 360°, while a Rollaboard® rolls tilted behind you on two, as our 2-wheel vs 4-wheel luggage guide explains.

    What personal item can I bring with a compact carry-on?

    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.

    Can I return a compact or international carry-on?
