International Carry-On Spinner

I purchased the orchid 19" and the under seat carry on in 2023 and have used it on a few trips ( 7 & 10 days). One trip was to multiple states/lodgings where we changed locations every couple of days. Not only could I fit all of my clothes and accessories in both, I didn't find it difficult to work out of the bags. It was a plus to be able to carry both onto the plane and not check luggage. Packing smartly is a necessity for week-long+ trips! I've rolled clothes and stacked. Both ways worked. I even had room for extra clothes that I didn't wear. The bags have held up well. The only thing that I found a bit challenging was when I stacked the bags they could fall over (not always). However, that's probably because of how I packed! The 19" with wheels rolls nicely and the underseat duffle did fit under the airplane seats. I would definitely recommend.

For those that are not aware, the size limitations for carry-on luggage, for non-US carrier carriers, within the EU are different than in the US. The size of the carry-on is much smaller and the regional EU airlines regularly enforce the size and weight limits. This bag is the only high-quality, light-weight, carry-on that meets the EU requirements. The bag rolls smoothly, has a strong handle and the wheels did not break as they rolled over the cobblestone streets in Italy. The light weight allows you to pack more into the bag without going over the 17lb limit that most carriers require. I was able to fit 2 week's worth of clothing for a trip.

As a senior elderly woman, i love that this bag is really light weight. I also love tha zippered pockets that allow easy access to items in those pockets. It is a well made, well thought out bag that is easy to wheel through the airport and lift into the overhead compartment.

Just returned from a 10-day trip with this Maxlite 4-wheel 19" international case. Comparing Maxlite spinner volumes, the 19" international is 39L, so it supposedly has a slightly larger capacity than the 20" compact carryon at 38L. The international case will fit on any airline and also has an integrated lock, so it seems like the better choice. I was able to pack everything I took on my last trip into this smaller case. The only difference is that I like to use a packing board in the inside lid compartment for my dress clothes, but my old board was too big, so I bought a smaller one. What is it with Travelpro colors? My larger 2-wheel Travelpro is Slate Green, not green at all, an ugly mushroom color. This time I chose Champagne because it was an Amazon Resale discount item. Champagne in Travelpro-speak is a pleasant brownish color, fine by me. One drawback of this case, possibly of any soft-sided spinner case, is that with a heavy item on top it wants to face-plant. I discovered that packing heavy things near the wheels, and packing my personal item with heavy things at the back, improved the balance. Dragging the case back a few inches to park it, making the wheels face forward, helps with stability. As for overall weight, even when packed heavy I was easily able to lift it into overhead compartments, which is why I went for Maxlite luggage. This case has single wheels, meaning that it doesn't roll quite as smoothly as the ones with double wheels. To me the light weight makes up for this. I hope the single wheels hold up, so far so good, no signs of wear yet.

Nice little carryon for short trips and fits size restrictions of most international carriers. I appreciate not needing a large area for opening this suitcase and it’s nice to have pockets on the front for smaller things. However, if heavy items like books or a laptop are in the front pocket the bag becomes unbalanced and can tip over when you let go of it - especially if you have your personal item on the handle of the case for rolling around. Still a great bag, rolls very well, easy to put into overhead bin because it is lightweight and has multiple sturdy grab handles.

Beautiful, everything seems to work as described, lightweight and wheels are a dream. Will update after trip if not.

We were concerned about getting the right size luggage to fit in the overhead rack with the stringent airline requirements. Travel Influencer, Aly Smalls, featured this in one of her videos and demonstrated that it would meet the requirements of a variety of airlines including Air Canada which was the airline we were using, so we bought it. It was durable and wheeled well. Within the size it also held a lot and offered a variety of pocket options. You can roll it two ways-sideways and front forward. We were able to loop our under seat backpacks. around the handle. We bought black and blue-- the blue was unique enough that it was easy to find. The price was excellent.

The bag is pretty roomy- I had no trouble fitting 7 days of warm weather clothes and dress shoes in it. I think the roller version may have a bit more room though (since there is less wasted space at the bottom. The only thing I didn't like was the handle did not always lock in the middle position (although it did for the upper position). Since I am short, that made it difficult . Otherwise, all went well with it.
