Travelpro® international carry on luggage comes in two sizes. The international carry on suitcase measures 21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in. overall, and the compact carry-on measures 22 x 14 x 9 in. Both are smaller than a standard carry-on, which is why travelers look at them as carry on luggage for international flights.
The international size is wider and slimmer: 15.75 in. wide and 7.75 in. deep, against 14 in. wide and 9 in. deep for the compact. Height is almost the same. Pick by the limit you need to meet. If your airline's depth limit is the tight one, look at the international size. If width is the tight one, look at the compact.
Every suitcase here lists expansion, and expanding adds depth, so measure the expanded bag too. Global carry on limits are not uniform, and some airlines also weigh cabin bags, so compare each bag's overall dimensions, which include wheels and handles, with the airline you are flying. The Platinum® Elite Carry-On Business Plus Spinner is a third option at 22.5 x 14.5 x 9 in. and 8.2 lb.
The Maxlite® 5 International Carry-On Rollaboard® (21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in., 5.4 lb) is the lightweight softside pick, and the Platinum® Elite International Carry-On Spinner has the same dimensions and weighs 7.7 lb. For a hard shell, the Platinum® Elite Compact Carry-On Hardside Spinner measures 22 x 14 x 9 in. and weighs 7.8 lb.
International airlines often publish smaller carry-on limits than US airlines, and limits vary from one carrier to the next. Some also set a carry-on weight limit, so weigh your packed bag before you fly. Our guide to international luggage standards lists the limits for major international airlines.
The Platinum® Elite International Carry-On Spinner is softside, while the Platinum® Elite Compact Carry-On Hardside Spinner has a rigid shell that protects what you pack. Softside luggage usually adds exterior pockets, and our hardside vs softside guide walks through the trade-offs.
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.
