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.
Premium totes, duffels and business bags with the refined materials and organization of the Platinum Elite collection.
Travelpro® Platinum® Elite travel bags are the backpacks, underseat tote, weekender and duffel of the flagship softside line. Every Platinum® Elite bag here is nylon, lists laptop and tablet protection, and has a rear strap (sometimes called a trolley sleeve) that fits around the extension handle of a rolling suitcase.
Size. Both are nylon laptop backpacks with the same rear strap, but the 27L backpack is 8.5 in. deep and the 16L backpack is 6 in. deep, and the slim one is also shorter, narrower and lighter. Choose the 16L if the bag mostly carries a laptop and little else, and the 27L if the same bag has to carry more than that.
The weekender and the duffel are the two largest Platinum® Elite bags by litres, and both are wider than they are tall. If you plan to fly with any of these as a personal item, compare its overall dimensions with your airline's personal item limit first.
Pick by trip. The Platinum® Elite Business Laptop Backpack 27L (17.5 x 12.5 x 8.5 in., 3 lb) and the slimmer Platinum® Elite Slim Laptop Backpack 16L (16 x 12 x 6 in., 2.2 lb) suit work and the commute. The Platinum® Elite UnderSeat Tote (10.25 x 16.5 x 7.5 in., 2 lb) keeps essentials at your feet, and the Platinum® Elite Drop-Bottom Weekender (15 x 18.5 x 9 in., 3.3 lb) holds 42 liters for short trips.
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.
Mix equal parts alcohol and water and apply it with a soft cloth, gently rubbing the mark until it is no longer visible. Let the bag air dry completely before you store it. You can find more care tips in our customer FAQ.
