Reviews

We have always used Travelpro

"We have always used Travelpro rollaboards and have never been disappointed. They are rugged, durable, and easy to navigate. We have always used the Crew rollaboards, with great satisfaction. We recently bought a Maxlite International for an overseas trip and loved it, for the weight and the amount it holds, compared to a spinner. I decided to replace my Crew 4 rollaboard (which stills works fine)with this one. It holds the same amount, but with half the weight! So much easier to get in the overhead. We're very pleased with this purchase."

I like the luggage but

"I like the luggage but that’s for a regular passenger. I’m a fly crew. I thought I was buying flight crew luggage, but it was the wrong kind of luggage but it’s a nice piece of luggage. That’s why I returned it because it’s not a flight crew l luggage."

Super light and holds a

"Super light and holds a lot. It has survived two flights without any noticeable wear and tear. It got some grease marks on it but they came out with the recommended 50-50 alcohol-water mix. Very happy with it so far."

My second Travel pro luggage

"My second Travel pro luggage exactly the same The first one lasted 15 years and it literally traveled around the world. From Afghanistan to Zanzibar. 😉. Comfortable he did carry upstairs for a senior citizen. Perfect size to pack everything I need to travel for months at a time."

"Love the reinforced corners, and the no tipping because of the slant legs that are well positioned. Nice improvement."

Julie A. (5/5)

Nice but

"I bought this suitcase as a large carry-on. With the two wheel configuration and large dimensions, I expected more useable space. To be fair, I haven't found any current suitcases that have the amount of useable space that my old "IT" lightweight has. I only took one trip since I bought the Maxlite, and I didn't use it because I needed the extra space that my old suitcase offers."
