Reviews

The luggage is lightweight, durable,

"The luggage is lightweight, durable, and very easy to maneuver. It has a very sleek, polished appearance. The spinner wheels rolled smoothly and the handle felt sturdy and comfortable. There is a great amount of packing space and organizational compartments. It will fit perfectly in the overhead bin. Overall, this carry-on is a great ifor anyone who travels frequently and wants reliable, high-quality luggage."

Denise (5/5)

Great first impression - can't wait to use it

"I haven’t taken this carry‑on on a trip yet, but so far, I’m really impressed. The expandable space looks perfect for a long weekend, and the built‑in compression makes it easy to keep everything tight and organized. The handle adjusts to three different lengths, and the wheels are super smooth — it glides without any wobble. Overall, it feels sturdy, practical, and ready for its first real test."

Tanya (5/5)

This is the second carry

"This is the second carry on that I now own. I purchased the Maxlite® Air Compact Carry-On Hardside in 2023 and my first time using it was for a two week vacation to Hawaii. It worked perfectly for me. I am eagerly anticipating my first trip with the Optima® Expandable Carry-On as it is a bit larger and has some different features that my Maxlite® does not have. TheOptima® has the traditional zippered divider panel to keep everything in place but this one incluldes a water-resistant zone for damp items or toiletries. This carry-on also has the integrated compression panel which maximizes space and keeps contents secure. These two features are new for me and are features that I will truly find useful. The wheels move effortlessly. I have attached some photos as I am partially packed for my next trip to Hawaii in 12 days. I still have room so I need to "reorganize" a bit. I have 3 bottoms, 7 tops, underwear, toiletries, my electronics and 1 pairs of shoes. I just need to add my bathing suits and I'll be good to go. I own the Maxlite® Air medium and large suitcases and have used both sizes on my trips to Germany. I am very pleased with ALL my Travelpro purchases."

Joan (5/5)

Very sleek. Love the sturdiness

"Very sleek. Love the sturdiness of the handle - it's better than my other Maxlite air compact carryon. Note - it is slightly bigger than the Maxlite so for the very strict European airlines you will want to measure. I like the idea of the compression panel, but wish it had the option to be removable since I won't need it every time. Wish the netting on that panel was a pocket to slip paperwork in - currently it's just "netting" with no use."

Melissa H. (5/5)

Traveling every week the compact

"Traveling every week the compact size of this roller board enables me to fit it in the smallest of regional jets without valeting. Casters are smooth rolling and handle the best a floor can deal. The inside panels keep the clothes from moving and secure in one position. The handle when deployed is tall enough to match a 6’4” height with comfort."

Jerry (5/5)

Absolutely love the bag. The

"Absolutely love the bag. The toilette bag was a welcome surprise. I own multiple travel pro bags and this one, like the others, is a great design and quality. First thing I always do is roll my bags because wheels are important. What I like most about this bag is the divider to help hold the items inside rather than just the strap."

Laurence (5/5)

All Black Everything

"I love my new carry-on piece! From the moment I pulled it out of the box, l recognized that the quality of the wheels, stylish panels, and versatility of other essentials would be a great addition to my All Black Everything travel set! Thank you, Travelpro!"

Rangile S. (5/5)

I LOVE THIS BAG!!!

"This bag impressed me right away. I have not used this bag on a trip yet, but I will definitely be taking it with me on my next one. I did test it around the house and I love how smooth the wheels glide so I know moving through the airport will be a breeze. It moves with almost no effort and feels balanced and easy to control. The handle feels solid and the overall build feels strong but still light. I also like how innovative the design is. It looks modern and well thought out. I like the expandable space because it gives you room when you need to pack a little extra. The light blue color is one of my favorite parts. It stands out right away and makes it easy to spot. It also gives the bag a clean and stylish look. And the TSA security lock is always a comfort to have for peace of mind. Based on my first impression, I am excited to travel with it. It feels like a quality bag that will make moving through the airport simple and smooth."

Pernell G. (5/5)

"This bag is PERFECT as a carry-on and glides like Butter! I would highly recommend this bag to anyone who travels! 💪🏾❤️💯😎"

Great carry-on with smart features

"Great carry-on with smart features. Love that it has a built-in pouch for an AirTag (or similar tracker)"
