Travelpro Platinum Elite Carry-On Spinner review

Travelpro's Platinum Elite Carry-On Spinner is the most feature-packed bag on this list. It holds 46 L, and a tapered expansion adds up to 2 inches while keeping the center of gravity low. Eight MagnaTrac self-aligning wheels and a PowerScope aluminum handle with four height stops handle the rolling, and external USB-A and USB-C ports connect to a power bank pocket inside (bring your own battery). There is a removable quart-size wet pocket, a tie-down system and a fold-out suiter. The fabric is high-density nylon with a DuraGuard coating that resists stains, abrasion and moisture, and the line carries Travelpro's Built for a Lifetime Limited Warranty with a 100-day trial. Be aware of size: Travelpro is open that the 23.5 in. overall height is slightly above the common 22 x 14 x 9 in. limit. It says the bag is sizer bin tested on most major US airlines, but a strict gate agent can still check it, especially when expanded.

Who it is for

Frequent flyers who pack heavy and want a softside bag with charging ports and business organization.
