We publish both numbers. The case dimensions (the packing body only) are 28 x 17.75 x 12 in. The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 31 x 19 x 12 in. When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.
Linear inches are height + width + depth. This bag measures 57.75 linear inches by case dimensions and 62 including wheels and handles. The standard checked-bag limit on most airlines is 62 linear inches (158 cm). This bag sits within that limit. More detail in our luggage size and weight guide.
Most U.S. airlines cap checked bags at 50 lbs. This bag weighs 10.7 lbs empty, which leaves about 39.3 lbs of packing before standard overweight fees. A luggage scale is a good companion for long trips.
Expansion adds packing depth, which also adds to the bag's linear inches and invites heavier packing. If you are near your airline's size or weight limit, measure and weigh the bag expanded, the way it will actually fly.

Combine mild soap and water, apply with a soft cloth, gently rub until clean, rinse well, and let the bag air dry completely before storing. Surface scuffs on hardside shells are cosmetic and do not affect performance; store the bag in its provided fabric cover when not in use. More care tips are in our customer FAQ.

"The zipper broke on the first use. I will not purchase again."
"As a long time fan of TravelPro, the new Optima expandable large suitcase is perfect for those longer trips! It’s very lightweight, yet durable and the compression side allows for maximum efficiency. Two of us are now packed for two weeks in one case! The self aligning wheels keep it steady, and I love the zippered area for liquids or wet items. More colors would be a bonus."
"The Optima Expandable Large bag is luxurious and deceptively spacious. I appreciate the smooth glide of the wheels and its ability to easily make 360 degree turns. The handle is sturdy and ergonomically designed. The compartments are well suited to house readily assessable personal items. I am impressed!"
"I like that the bag is very durable. It's a hard shell, but without looking and feeling like the traditional hard case luggage! Like always, the bag has great compartments and like always there is something new. I really like the included divider. Very small added detail that makes a big difference!"
"The wheels on this suitcase make in motion tasks easy and smooth. I appreciate the design of this hard case-it makes for a stylish/sleek look. The interior is well laid out with a cover on one side with zipper pockets. Overall I am satisfied with this product thus far."
"I recently received the Optima large check-in. It is a great addition to our Maxlite set. Solid and durable, it will surely take years of airline handling abuse. Perfect to hold everything my wife and I need on our extended upcoming trip. It rolls very smoothly, and has the usual superior quality that you can expect from Travelpro. The included repair kit is a nice addition, but I doubt I'll ever need it!"
"This is a beautiful piece of luggage. It is made well. The interior is spacious. All of my clothes will fit in this luggage. My husband already had decided that he wants to "own" this piece. He is planning on using it when we take a long cruise to Europe for our 50th anniversary. This piece is strong and can take all the abuse it gets from airlines and cruise ships. We love it and expect that it will give us many years of great service."
"Large spacious roller, easy to manipulate, with section dividers that keeps everything organized, and stops you from over packing large items which leads to being overweight. Although the luggage is a hard case it has flexibility to the material and a zipper expansion, which gives you more packing flexibility if needed. However, because of the the body has some flex to it when fully packed, but its the appropriate compromise to a non flexible hard case. The light blue color sticks out on the conveyor belt and was easy to spot, the wheels are color matched which helped it to stick out from the other luggage."
"I was really impressed with this luggage. It is lightweight and easy to transport, but at the same time it is very durable and tough. The interior is much roomier than I expected based on the size of the bag. This bag is a keeper and allowed my wife and I to consolidate our items for our most recent trip."
