Do the listed dimensions include wheels and handles?

We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 19.5 x 13.75 x 9 in. The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 22 x 14 x 9 in. When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, 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. Its overall dimensions sit within the commonly published limits of the major U.S. carriers.

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. See our carry-on size guide by airline for the full list, and remember every bag is covered by our 100-day trial.

Does expanding the bag change whether it fits airline sizers?

Yes. The zippered expansion adds extra 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.

Is it water resistant?

Yes. The exterior fabric has a DuraGuard® coating that resists water and stains, so it holds up to rainy sidewalks and daily wear.

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 come with?

This product is covered by the Maxlite® 5 Warranty, plus our 100-day satisfaction trial with free returns. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Reviews

Needed a new suitcase because

"Needed a new suitcase because my old one (different brand) had stopped rolling easily when it was loaded up. I liked that this one fits all domestic airlines for carry on, as that’s mainly what I need. Used this on a whirlwind 2-day work trip last week and this thing GLIDES, even with a full leather tote bag on top. No more wrestling my luggage through the airports and while boarding the plane! I noticed others reporting that the bag falls forward when there’s a laptop in the front pocket. This did not happen to me on this trip and I was traveling with a large Lenovo thinkpad. I’m very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it."

Bought for 57th wedding anniversary

"Bought for 57th wedding anniversary trip to Hilton Head Island. At 77 & with limited mobilityI needed a suitcase that I could push & lift easily & that would hold all my clothes for the occasion. The Maxlite exceeded all expectations-light weight,easy to handle & held everything I needed! Will recommend to friends!"

I’m half-way through my first

"I’m half-way through my first trip and I love this suitcase! It is small, but holds plenty. The large pocket on front is perfect for a jacket or seat pillow. It rolls very smoothly. And it’s also attractive."

— Amanda C. (5/5)

I like the quality, but

"I like the quality, but was disappointed in the color. I assumed it would match the bag I previously bought, and online the color looked the same. However, the blue is not as bright. I guess it's my fault for not going back and checking by old order to see what blue was called then. Also, I found it annoying to get an email offering me 10% off after I had already put the order in."
