Optima® Expandable Compact Cabin / Large Check-In Set

Two separate spinners in matching colours: the Optima® Expandable Compact Cabin Spinner (55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm overall, 3.1 kg, 39 L) and the Optima® Expandable Large Check-in Spinner (78.7 x 48.3 x 30.5 cm overall, 4.9 kg, 104 L). Each is the same bag we sell individually.

The Optima® Expandable Compact Cabin Spinner is the cabin piece; the other piece travels as a checked bag. It is sizer bin tested, and its overall dimensions including wheels and handles are 55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm. Published cabin bag limits for major European airlines:

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.

Airlines add height, width and depth together for checked bags, and 158 cm is the standard limit on most European airlines, with standard checked bags usually capped at 23 kg. The Large Check-in measures 78.7 + 48.3 + 30.5 = 157.5 cm overall, wheels and handles included, and sits just within that limit, with 0.5 cm to spare. It weighs 4.9 kg empty, which leaves about 18.1 kg of packing under a 23 kg allowance. These totals are measured unexpanded; the expansion adds extra depth, which takes the Large past 158 cm, so keep it zipped if your airline measures checked bags strictly. Allowances vary by airline and fare, see our luggage size guide.

Yes. The zippered expansion adds extra packing depth, and a fully expanded Compact Cabin may not fit a strict airline sizer. If your airline enforces its sizer, board with it unexpanded and save the expansion for the trip home or checked segments. On the checked pieces the practical limits are the 158 cm linear size rule and your weight allowance rather than a sizer, so expand when you need to, but keep an eye on the scale.

Each piece has a built-in compression panel that maximises packing space while helping reduce shifting and wrinkles, plus a zippered divider, interior accessory pockets, hold-down straps and a dedicated water-resistant compartment to keep toiletries or damp items separate. The compression organiser is removable and can also be used to divide the main compartment.
