Worry-free warranty

Sleek, spacious, and guaranteed to fit in any overhead bin, our signature carry-on spinner is built with premium fabrics, genuine leather details, and chrome hardware that proves smart packing can still look sharp.

Best for: Frequent flyers who board with a plan, and overpackers determined to carry on anyway.

360° MagnaTrac® spinner wheels

External USB port

Powerscope handle with contour grip

2 in expansion

Drop-in, fold-out suiter

Water and stain resistant

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 23.5 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: this bag is sizer-bin tested and fits the carry-on sizers and overhead bins on mainline aircraft of the major U.S. carriers. Like most premium carry-ons, its overall height (23.5 in.) is slightly above the commonly published 22 x 14 x 9 in. standard, and it still fits where it matters: the sizer and the bin.

Airline	Published carry-on limit
American Airlines	22 x 14 x 9 in.
Delta Air Lines	22 x 14 x 9 in.
United Airlines	22 x 14 x 9 in.
Southwest Airlines	24 x 16 x 10 in.

Regional jets have smaller bins, so expect to gate-check on those flights regardless of brand. If you fly carriers with strictly enforced smaller limits, the shorter, wider Platinum® Elite International Carry-On is built for that. And every bag is covered by our 100-day trial. If it doesn't work for your airline, return it. See our carry-on size guide by airline for the full list.

What's the difference between the Carry-On, International Carry-On, and the Check-In sizes?

Model	Overall size	Volume	Best for
Carry-On (this bag)	23.5 x 14.5 x 9 in.	46 L	Domestic U.S. flying, maximum carry-on packing
International Carry-On	21.75 x 15.75 x 7.75 in.	39 L	International carriers with shorter height limits
Medium Check-In (25")	Checked	,	5-7 day trips
Large Check-In (29")	Checked	143.5 L	Long trips, families, cruises

A common mix-up: the International is not simply "smaller": it is shorter but wider than the Carry-On. If your airline enforces 22 x 14 x 9 in. exactly, compare each model's overall dimensions to that limit.

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 much does the expansion add to packing capacity?

The tapered expansion design adds up to 2 inches of additional packing capacity. The tapered shape keeps the center of gravity low to help prevent the spinner from tipping when expanded.

What length of trips is this carry-on best for?

The Platinum Elite 21" Spinner is designed for short to medium-length trips. Customer reviews on the product confirm it works well for both short and longer trips when paired with the expansion feature.

Can I pack a suit or dress shirt without wrinkling?

Yes. The Platinum Elite Carry-On includes a drop-in, fold-out suiter that helps keep clothes wrinkle-free during travel. The suiter also doubles as a removable garment bag.

What kind of wheels does this carry-on have?

The carry-on uses Travelpro's PrecisionGlide System with eight MagnaTrac self-aligning, 360-degree spinner wheels, guided by an adjustable PowerScope extension handle with a Contour Grip and rubberized touch points.

How does the extension handle work?

The PowerScope airline-grade aluminum extension handle minimizes wobble and has four height stops at 36", 38", 40", and 42.5" to accommodate users of different heights.

Can I charge my phone from this bag?

Yes. It has external USB-A and USB-C ports wired to a dedicated power-bank pocket that meets FAA regulations. Bring your own power bank (not included), drop it in the pocket, and charge without opening the bag.

Is the wet pocket TSA compliant?

Yes. The removable quart-size wet pocket is TSA compliant and built to store and retrieve toiletries quickly while traveling through security or at your destination.

Is the exterior water resistant?

Yes. The high-density nylon fabric features a DuraGuard coating that resists stains, abrasions, and moisture, so the spinner stays looking great through frequent travel.

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 Platinum® Elite line is covered by our Built for a Lifetime Limited Warranty, plus a 100-day satisfaction trial with free returns. Use it for a real trip and decide. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

What is the return policy?

Travelpro offers a 100 Day Easy Trial. If the luggage fails to meet your expectations for any reason, you can return it for a full refund within 100 days, no questions asked, with return shipping covered.

Reviews

I haven't used my new

"I haven't used my new Travelpro carry-on yet but I'm very much looking forward to it. Upon first inspection it is everything I hoped it would be. It rolls so freely I'm half afraid I'll have trouble keeping up with it in the airport terminal. After two years of taking care of my 96-year-old mother in hospice, I'm now able to travel the world, which I plan to do copiously. I really wanted the best luggage I could afford because I've travelled enough to know what a nightmare a broken wheel or handle can be on the other side of the world. I have 100% confidence that my new Travelpro carry-on will get me where I want to go . . . and back. This is my second Travelpro carry-on. My other one is 20 years old and still going strong. It is now my backup. In my experience . . . Travelpro is the only way to go."

— JOHN H. (5/5)

This is my third Platinum

"This is my third Platinum Elite (other two are still going strong!) bag. I love the way this opens--like a chest with a lid--which makes it easier to pack and also useful on hotel luggage racks. The bag is thoughtfully designed with pockets, handles and straps in all the right places and I like that the extras are removable as needed. It rolls like a dream. I look forward to using this bag for years! Thanks for making such a great quality product."

— RAYNAN L. (5/5)

Exceptional build quality using resilient,

"Exceptional build quality using resilient, scuff-hiding fabrics or robust polycarbonate. Outstanding mobility and smooth gliding system. Covered by a comprehensive limited lifetime warranty that even includes airline damage The Elite is not specifically for the elite. It is a well suited and constructed bag for anyone wanting the best. Throw down a few bucks and travel with confidence."

— Armand B. (5/5)

"The front-pocket zippers are frustrating to use because the metal teeth frequently become misaligned, causing the zipper to catch and stick. The wheels also don’t roll nearly as smoothly as those on my Maxlite. I suspect the magnetic auto-align feature may be contributing to the problem. One of the suitcases consistently has a wheel that sits at the wrong angle, making it noticeably harder to maneuver than both my Maxlite and the second identical carry-on I purchased—even on smooth hardwood floors. The return process is also disappointing: I’m required to take the suitcase to a FedEx location myself rather than being offered a carrier pickup. For a premium suitcase, I expected significantly better design, performance, and quality control."

— Tatyana (2/5)

I bought it because I

"I bought it because I thought it would be great for my computer and for charging my devices but I can't leave the computer and power bank in the bag because of temperature restrictions. I do like the design of the utility containers inside the suitcase as well as the look of the suitcase so I have mixed feelings about it and I'm still getting used to it and figuring out how to best utilize it."

— Linda K. (5/5)

This is an excellent product.

"This is an excellent product. The shipping was very well packaged. This carry on is great quality and held more than I thought it would on my first trip using it. I highly recommend it."

— Edward D. (5/5)

1. I ordered a combo

"1. I ordered a combo set in olive green. You sent me the wrong color. 2. I contacted customer service to initiate an exchange for the correct color. After asking me three times for the same information, the customer service rep stopped responding to me. 3. I then just returned the wrong color suitcase and repurchased the correct color. But this ended up costing me about $30 more than the combo set originally cost. So I paid extra for your mistake."

— John D. (1/5)

The suitcase itself is very

"The suitcase itself is very nice and well constructed, however I had to send it back because the interior volume was too small. It held far less than my old Samsonite, so I couldn't use it for a 5-day trip. The design of the interior is not conducive for packing cubes and the included suiter was likewise unusable for me."

— Christina R. (2/5)

Everything and more + a

"Everything and more + a lot less! A LOT LESS weight! My old Briggs & Riley tipped the scales at 12#. Great when I was 40; not so much at 75. The Platinum elite is not only half the weight -- its spinner wheels are really effortless: no more strains pulling a bag behind me. The design is very thoughtful -- multiple handle height positions, charging via a power bank, interior finishes that make packing a cinch. Looked at all the 'competitors', but TravelPro's reputation and lifetime warranty was hard to beat."

— Mike M. (5/5)

|I have 3 Travelpro Elite.

"|I have 3 Travelpro Elite. softsides, 3 Platinum Elite carry ons and 2 lightweight under seat pieces of luggage. Needless to say, I’m very happy with performance and quality of Travelpro. I’ve taken them all over the world for the past 4 years. I highly recommend Travelpro."
