Small bins, quick turns: the 18-inch rollaboard packs a focused kit and fits where bigger bags get gate-checked.

Best for: Regional-jet regulars with small bins, and crew who pack for a quick turn.

Do the listed dimensions include wheels and handles?

We publish both numbers. The case dimensions, the packing body only, are 46 x 36 x 23 cm. The overall dimensions, which include wheels and carry handles, are 48 x 37 x 25 cm. When airlines publish size limits they mean the overall size, so compare the overall number to your airline's limit.

Will this bag fit my airline's cabin size limits?

Its overall dimensions including wheels and handles are 48 x 37 x 25 cm. Published cabin bag limits for major European airlines:

Airline	Published cabin bag limit
Ryanair	55 x 40 x 20 cm
easyJet	56 x 45 x 25 cm
British Airways	56 x 45 x 25 cm
Lufthansa	55 x 40 x 23 cm
Air France	55 x 35 x 25 cm
KLM	55 x 35 x 25 cm

By the published numbers it fits within the cabin bag limits at easyJet and British Airways. Airlines measure the overall size, wheels and handles included, and policies change, so always check your carrier before travel. Our airline guide covers more carriers. And if it does not work out, you can return it free within 14 days of receipt.

Does expanding the bag change whether it fits airline sizers?

Yes. The zippered expansion adds extra packing depth, and a fully expanded bag may not fit a strict airline sizer. If your airline enforces its sizer, board with the bag unexpanded and save the expansion for the trip home or checked segments.

Is it water resistant?

Yes. The exterior fabric has a DuraGuard® coating that resists water and stains, so it holds up to rainy pavements and daily wear.

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?

Use a 50/50 mixture of alcohol and water, apply with a soft cloth, and gently rub the affected area until the spot lifts. Let the bag air dry completely before storing. A little lemon juice in the mixture freshens the fabric.

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.

Simply the Best Luggage

"The Expandable Rollaboard is my second piece of FlightCrew 5 luggage and it’s fantastic. It’s well made, practical, stylish and high quality."

— Sandra A. (5/5)

Too deep to fit in overhead on classic 737 next ge

"Good quality suitcase, however, it does not fit in the overhead on a regular interior 737 next gen, even without the extender. It does not fit in the overhead on any regional jet. This rollaboard is not fit as carry on baggage."

— Erik (1/5)

Good but could be better

"I wanted to change my old tote for a new one and stop using my company suitcase. So I bought this. The size is perfect, just a little bit bigger than my old tote but much deeper. My complains are about the length of the handle. It’s too short, the tote hits my foot when walking and the small divisions doesn’t have specific place for pens, passports and wallet."

— Jeffersonnasser (4/5)

Crew 5 18” expandable

"Very strong bag and not to big for a female pilot!"

— Jasmijn (5/5)

The absolute best!

"This is a perfect size slightly smaller bag that I can take on smaller regionals and yet it is just as good-looking and durable as the larger roll-aboards. A winner in all respects."

— La X. (5/5)

perfect size fir 3 day trips!

"Ibhqve 31 years in the industry... this is the perfect size for 3 day trips. It will s small enough to fit under a seat and light enough to lift up over head. It’s the best!!"

— Flygirlkathy (5/5)

It is realy is the best purchase I ever made

"As a pilot it is the better purchase I ever made in this matter. It fits all my needs to travel around! Very satisfied!!"

— Victor B. (5/5)

Great overall suitcase

"Suitcase is great overall. Very durable with multiple pockets, sturdy adjustable handle and smooth rolling wheels. Only issue was with using the expansion pocket, if used the suitcase will not fit in most overhead bins. Otherwise a grear suitcase and may even purchase another one!"

— Jtp. (4/5)
