Frequently Asked Questions
Do the listed dimensions include wheels and handles?

We publish both numbers. The case dimensions, the packing body only, are 71.1 x 45.1 x 30.5 cm. The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 78.7 x 48.3 x 30.5 cm. When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.

Will I owe oversize fees on this bag?

Airlines add height, width and depth together for checked bag limits. This bag measures 147 cm total by case dimensions and 158 cm including wheels and handles. The standard checked bag limit on most airlines is 158 cm. This bag sits within that limit. More detail in our luggage size guide.

How much can I pack before hitting airline weight limits?

Most airlines cap standard checked bags at 23 kg. This bag weighs 4.9 kg empty, which leaves about 18.1 kg of packing before standard overweight fees. At 104 litres it is possible to out-pack the weight limit before you run out of space, so a luggage scale is a good companion for long trips. Allowances vary by airline and fare, see our luggage size guide.

Does the expansion matter on a checked bag?

The zippered expansion adds extra packing depth. On a checked bag the practical limits are the 158 cm linear size rule and your airline's weight allowance rather than a sizer, so expand freely on the way home, but keep an eye on the scale.

How do I make a warranty claim or get repairs?

Start a claim through our customer contact form with photos of the issue and your proof of purchase, or make sure your product is registered in our database. If the issue is covered, Travelpro will repair the bag, replace the defective part, or replace the bag with a product of comparable value. You can also verify the coverage for your collection on our Warranty & Repair page.

How do I clean and care for it?

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 hard shells are cosmetic and do not affect performance.

What warranty does this come with?

Travelpro products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship, on top of your 2-year legal guarantee of conformity under EU law. See our Warranty & Repair page for the coverage that applies to this product, plus a 14-day free returns period if you change your mind.

Took the luggage across two

"Took the luggage across two continents and on a cruise within three weeks, and the luggage held up well. PROS: - Wheels are smooth - Handle is sturdy CONS: - Heavy, for airline standards. Almost 11 lb when empty, so you are down to 39 lb of the 50 lb allotted for most airlines. Just something to keep in mind. - Scratches very easily, which was another reason why it got knocked down a star. I had to buy a sleeve for it during the trip since I was worried that it would be scuffed beyond repair by the end of the journey - Right shell is not zippered (I knew this going in, but did not realize how inconvenient this would be when packing)"

Worst piece of luggage I

"Worst piece of luggage I have purchased in years. Came damaged from shipping the box was punctured. Exterior case was crushed at the lock mechanicanism. Used for trip due to last minute need. Got further damaged"

Great suitcase!

"I don’t normally use a large suitcase, but it arrived just in time for me to use it fora trip to go to a wedding. The compartments worked perfect. With one side to hold all the accessories, additional clothes, etc and the other with a solid means to retain the formal without wrinkles. The construction seems sound and made it through its maiden voyage with only one scratch. I look forward to using it on my cruise in July when I will need more clothes and only a carry on for the two weeks."

Hardside fan

"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!"

— Rick B. (5/5)

I like that the bag

"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!"

— Carroy (5/5)

Flexible Hard Case Luggage

"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."

— Karim (5/5)

Great luggage set

"Have security locks, plenty of space and easy to maneuver. Love it!"

— Maurice J. (5/5)

Great suitcase—smooth, spacious, and easy to travel with

"I’ve really enjoyed using this suitcase so far. It rolls smoothly, even when fully packed, and the expandable feature makes a big difference when I need extra space. The compartments are well thought out, so everything stays organized without feeling cramped. It feels sturdy but not too heavy, which makes traveling a lot easier. Overall, it’s been reliable and does exactly what I need it to do."

— Tyrone C. (5/5)

I recently received this Travelpro

"I recently received this Travelpro large bag and I’m extremely satisfied with it. The build quality is excellent—you can tell right away it’s made to last. The material feels durable but still lightweight, which is perfect for travel. I immediately took it on my trip to the Caribbean. The size is ideal for longer trips. I was able to pack everything I needed with room to spare, and the compartments made it easy to stay organized. What I really appreciate is how easy it is to maneuver. Whether I’m rolling it through the airport or loading it into the car, it handles well without feeling bulky. Overall, this is definitely a great investment if you’re looking for a dependable, spacious travel bag."

— Edwin (5/5)

"I really like this product. It looks good, and I like the extra pocket and the little bags that come with it. I am going to be styling in the airport."
