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.
Light, secure and built for motion, Travelpro® crossbody and sling bags keep essentials close and your hands free for whatever the journey brings.
Travelpro® makes a travel sling bag and a crossbody bag in the Altitude™ line, both in nylon. The Altitude™ Crossbody 6L is the larger bag at 1.6 lb, and the Altitude™ Sling 2L is the small one at 0.8 lb.
The crossbody is 8 in. taller, 1.75 in. deeper and twice the weight of the sling. The sling is the wider of the two, 9 in. across against 7.5 in., so it is a low, horizontal shape while the crossbody is an upright one. The capacities are in the product names: 2L for the sling and 6L for the crossbody.
Only the crossbody lists laptop and tablet protection; its product page shows the device size it takes. Compare overall dimensions with your airline's limits if you carry either bag alongside a carry-on.
The Altitude™ Sling 2L (5 x 9 x 3 in., 0.8 lb) is the smaller of the two, sized for small essentials such as a phone, keys and cards. The Altitude™ Crossbody 6L (13 x 7.5 x 4.75 in., 1.6 lb) holds 6 liters, so it has room for a few more travel essentials.
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.
