Hey in the about this item in your link for the 19”, 4 wheels it says it’s 29”?
This is great to know, thank you.
I would like to see you compare a hard clamshell versus a top opening case
@@pamkenel7534 You have to select your size on the Amazon listing!
@@barbaralazier8352 I did a little of that in this recent video: ruclips.net/video/OVMOt5ctiOE/видео.htmlsi=IVn__TIzQSB8MZgu
Hi Ally, I have watched hundreds of travel channels where people suggest travel bags, but they never go to the airport to test the sizers. You are first, thank you. I normally don't like rolling bags, but I'm interested in the ones you showed today. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Agree!! Thank you 🙏
Same here, I hate rolling bags, but these seem great for the cause!
Awesome work ❤
Likewise! First time I’ve considered a rolling carry-on in years
Love my Travelpro bags. Here's a secret. That expander zipper can also work as a compressor. Expand the bag, fill her up, shrink the bag with the zipper to squeeze everything in and voila. I have used that 2 wheel bag on 14 and 17 day cruises.
Love that idea!
I’ve had my travel pro for decades. Two wheeler… One advantage for me in the zigzag or any line for that matter - is that it is a nice space separator for the people that insist on standing 2” from the back of your head…😁
good point! I love my bubble too haha
I bought my TravelPro luggage about 10 years ago
in Ottawa. 1 million miles later still my go to bags.
for 16 years i didn't think anything could sway me from my Osprey 46L backpack. then bought the 2-wheel Travelpro last year -- it is The Best, period, full stop.
I am a Travelpro fan and have used their luggage for 15+ years in a job that included a lot of business travel- both domestic and international. If you watch airline crew, specifically pilots and flight attendants you will see almost all use Travelpro. I have 2 of the carry-on bags you show in the video along with pretty much every bag the brand offers. My favorite thing about them is that they are so durable and are incredibly light weight. I highly recommend them.
I agree, I prefer the 2 wheel design for durability and I find it handles the uneven surfaces much better in EU where I travel frequently. The 4 wheels are only good for ultra smooth airports and train stations.
My experience as well. I usually take transit to the airport or train station, which typically involves a significant amount of outdoor walking on sidewalks, so two wheelers make a lot more sense.
I LOVE this video. I appreciate that you took the bags to an actual airport and put them in all the different sizers. Thank you so much. Very informative with a lot of useful information.
😊
I have have the 22" 2 wheel version for several years and absolutely love it. Holds tons and is super light.
I appreciate the time you take to film checking bags in the bag sizers. I saw one of your other videos and you also mention personal item bags and the purple bag you have. I bought a gray one just like it. Now I feel I'm maximizing my carry on and personal item, but will make it through to boarding without getting gate checked. Thank you!
Totally agree. Very thorough info.
😊
I'd love to know what personal item bag you are referring to? I tried to find it in her prev videos, with no luck so far. Thank you in advance!😊

Exceptionally useful! Having read other reviews of Travelpro bags, I found two in a Chicago area thrift store for $8 each. They are older and smaller. I'd been waiting for a contemporary review on their current offerings. This is it!
Aly, thank you for validating that I just took delivery of a good bag. After years of an old blister of a carry on, this very morning my International 2 wheel Maxlite 5 from Canada Luggage Depot arrived. 15% off plus a free gift. Unbelievably lighter than my old Travelpro. Thanks again for your very helpful videos.
The most useful video you could make would be to encourage minimizing the size and number of things you travel with! One of the big miscalculations I made when bringing my mom to Europe was failing to budget a half hour of extra time to review her packing choices. Since I had to carry that humongous beast all over Europe, I regretted missing the chance to streamline her packing. Upon arriving at a motel, it was clear that she brought many things the hotel provided or were easily and inexpensively found nearby. When I asked about her criteria for deciding to pack something, there was no concept about how useful it was, how heavy or bulky it was and did it really provide for an essential need.
This may sound rude, but the rule "You packed it, you carry it" solves that problem very quickly. I realize that elderly parents may be unable to do this, but one would think that older folks have been around enough to know some of these things already.
@@RJS1966USMC Alas, she was imagining a 1950s movie reality with leagues of porters. Thankfully for the return trip she had shipped a few cubic feet of stuff home.
I’m in the market for new luggage, and I gotta say I just keep coming back to travel pro. I have a travel pro carryon and 28” that’s lasted 10+ years and still going strong without any issues except for marks. I’ve watched all of your luggage reviews in the last few days and they’ve been super helpful, so thank you!
I recently replaced my old luggage with a set of Travel Pro. It is absolutely amazing luggage! From my carry on to my large regular suitcase, I love them all
I have this carry-on bag. It is an excellent bag and I bought it at BJ’s.
I love this video, you are the first to compare so many airline carriers sizers and identified which airlines. Now I have a reason to get another TravelPro carry-on, for my overseas trip. I am a TravelPro lover and enjoy my Maxlites so much!
I have had the Travelpro Maxlite 5 20" 2 wheel for about 2 years. I agree that it is just perfect for those who want to travel without checking bags. I use this and a small backpack on flights and it has proven to be perfect for me. I travel a lot in Europe so the 2 wheels are durable and easy to maneuver. Thanks for always checking bag sizes at different airlines.
I work at the airport this is the best review for carry on bags.
great vid!! like the best i've seen for travelers. i never thought about the uses for 2 vs 4 wheel bags..you blew me away with that fabulousness💗 I have dragged 2-wheelers thru customs at every airport on earth but never thought about the 4 wheel being a better option for me. So my takeaway is i want that for long-haul/airport mostly...and two wheel for dragging thru streets. i'm serious about getting both styles to suit my travel agendas. i rarely do checked bags so this wealth of knowledge is no joke, life changing for me..thank you ever so much!!
Great video! I don’t live near an international airport, so I really appreciate the time you took to test the bags in all the different sizers. I have a small soft sided Samsonite spinner 20”x 14” x 9” and I can see from your video that I’m going to have to be extra careful not to overpack it so the sides don’t bulge out.
You've nailed it. The two wheeler is always my go to
We have the TravelPro 4 spinner, international 19”. Purchased back in 2018 or 19, on sale at Macy’s, for international travel with the small bag requirements. Turns out it is a perfect bag for seniors with the smaller size and weight. I can get sandals in the front pocket with an umbrella. It is small but you can get a weeks worth of clothes in it. I use the top for rain jacket and pair of pants or nicer clothes. My packing cube is 2 sided for clean clothes on one side, dirty on other. It surface washes easily. I frequently check my bag at the gate with no cost, as a senior, never been denied. Lifting to the overhead bin is not possible. I have a small packing cube with 2 tops/underwear, in my personal bag just in case. The negative is limited space for shoes. I do love the bag, works great for seniors!
@donkiml5805 Thank you for your feedback!! As I said in my comment above we are looking for options for my mom who is 80 years young this year!
If she needs lighter, maybe a rolling underseater bag.
As a senior I was interested in your report now that I am not so able to deal with heavier luggage. However, some airlines in Europe do not allow a carry on plus an extra item, a handbag/purse, which is a problem.
Wow! I will start taking a measuring device with me because I didn't expect those metal frames would cheat on us. Thanks for measuring with yours!
A couple of your videos randomly came up in my feed a few weeks ago. I had been annoyed with my not-very-old luggage, but hadn’t done anything about it…until I saw this video! I ordered it, and I can’t wait to have a reason to use it! I don’t fly often, but I’m thrilled to have it for car trips, too.
Thank you!
I purchased TravelPro luggage for my trip to London last December in a beautiful dusty pink. I bought the medium checked size and the international size carry on. I love them both!!!
I have an older version of the 2 wheel Travelpro suitcase we received from our wedding registry 6 yrs ago, and have been very happy with it. It is my go to carry-on roller suitcase, and haven't had any issues.
I used to work at a financial company that built their new offices in Boca Raton right next to the Travelpro factory. We'd walk over for their annual (literal) factory sale. Back in the day they were incredibly well constructed, and I believe they still are.
I have this bag and love it!! Super light, durable and spacious! Thanks for a great and useful review!!
Super helpful in so many ways, thank you!
I love my Travelpro! It is light…sturdy…has lasted a very long time…and has pockets in the right places. It is a carryon and very similar (though not identical) to the one you show. The wheels are also good…no skipping or twisting…very smooth
We are big fans of TravelPro and have several of their bags (ok maybe 7?). I remember one trip I was told at the gate that the travel pro bag I've been using for carry on for years is now too big. I've been looking to buy a new one but wasn't sure I would get the right one - until your video. We have one in my amazon cart now (4 wheel 19" Maxlite 5") from your link. Thanks for doing this video. I can buy with confidence now.
We both have TravelPro luggage and have traveled numerous times with them. No complaints whatsoever! Great video. I like how you shared them in the airline sizers.
I recently purchaseg the 19-inch 4- wheeler and love it. It performs beautifully!
I have started to use Travel Pro bags a few years ago. They are light and durable. I love them.
My wife and I both have the 4 wheel version of this carry-on bag and you are absolutely right - great review and great video. We travel a lot since we are recently retired. All our other bags are Travel Pro, as well, they are great!
Thank you! This is vital travel content
The amount of research you did for this is amazing and even though I don't need it new luggage you make me want to buy one
Thanks for going above and beyond on making this video. Love it. Truly appreciate you.
My TravelPro carry-on bag is about 20 years old now and I'm very happy with it. Well made. Well designed.
FANTASTIC video!! Thank you!!!
OMG the luggage tag - “Art Vandelay” 😂😂😂
@@cardiogirl798It was a fictitious name and identity created by the character George in the Seinfeld show
But my name is Kjel Varnsen!
Yes, I believe he's good friends with H.E. Pennypacker.
That was fun. I own that exact TravelPro Maxlite 5, 4-wheel spinner - in the same color. Took it as a carry-on when I flew British Airways last year. It also took sidewalks, pavements of all kinds, and even cobbled streets in its stride as I traveled around the UK by train on that three week trip. I mean, I was careful how I handled it in those situations but it did very well. That bag came home in like-new shape. I agree that the 2 wheel bags have a bit more inner space.
Awesome to hear!
I'm glad to see Art Vandalay let you use his bag for the video @9:03
Excellently done! Thank you!
I have had the 4 wheel bag for a couple of years and I love it!
Thank you for bringing the bags to the airport and putting them in the airline sizers! I am traveling on KLM soon and this video was perfect.
Extremely useful and helpful video. Excellent demonstration and testing 👍
I have a 10 yo two wheel version of this bag. It’s a great bag. I used to travel a lot for work (1~2 weeks a month) and this bag is perfect. I love two wheelers as they roll better on different surfaces. I’ve also used this bag on 3 trips to Europe, including one 14 day trip (also used backpack). This is my favorite bag.
Great video! Appreciate all the links too! 🙂
Excellent tip, thanks so much 👍🏼
Incredibly thoughtful & valuable information
This is a fantastic review. Our family has been using TravelPro luggage exclusively for decades. My husband and I have the TP Maxlite 3 International Spinners and our teens have the TP Maxlite 5 International Spinners.
Excellent video! I appreciate your going to the airport and testing in the different airline sizers! I am a 2 wheel lady all the way, these soft sided two wheelers are getting harder to find!!
Good to see your reviews. I have 2 other 2wheel 20" to wear out more, before i buy another. I will look up your suggestion
Thank you for this video!
Could not agree more! Nothing fancy but Maxlite 5 just does the job. Great bang for your buck bag. Nice work, Aly!
Thanks for watching guys!!
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Thank you for showing the various sizer bins and the fit of your Travel Pro pieces.
I must use a cane for balance while walking distances. Following my trip to Ohio this summer when I used a two-wheel carry-on with a small backpack, my luggage pulling arm was very sore because I couldn't change out arms due to the cane.
Upon returning home, I immediately researched spinner luggage and chose to purchase the Travel Pro Maxlite 5 21" carry-on spinner. I have yet to use it, but am prepared for an easier travel experience. Your video has eased my concerns about how my new carry-on will fit the overhead bin space on different airlines. Thank you so much!!!
Does the one you purchased have the TSA Lock on the side? Thanks!
@@lindabarley6335 No, it does not.
I purchased the set labeled "Get Away" that included a tote in lieu of the carry-on with the embedded TSA lock.
That was very well done! Informative, simple, and thorough! I travel a lot between Asia and the U.S., so this video was extremely helpful. Thanks!
Best comprehensive bag review video. This bag is great
I have a Travelpro with spinner wheels for 15 years now. This brand was recommended everywhere, but I had to get it shipped overseas. Cost a penny, but was 100% worth it. Its still almost new.
I’ve borrowed this carry on from someone else before. It’s amazing. I just ordered the hard shell carry on from Travelpro a few days ago because I liked the sleek design. Hopefully I like that one as much as the soft shell case 🤞🏻
5’1” and 6’9”? I watch nearly every video you post and I had no clue. My wife and I loved your Mexico videos. I went to Puerto Vallarta 3x in past 2 years and I still refer to your videos for refresher.
Hehe maybe one day you'll run into us in PV and you can see the height difference in real life!!
I saw u on fremont and I literally screamed to my husband omg I follow her on RUclips and I couldn't believe how short u were next to ur significant other . I'm 5'1 aswell but next to him u looked so much shorter. I was too shy to say hi 😞 I was in Vegas may 31st - June 5th
@@jessicasolis5208 Next time!! I love when people come san say hi!
Great overview! Thank you for sharing! 😎👍🏻
Really helpful video. Thanks!
Great video so well done, well researched thank you. You got me, I want one maybe two
My daughter bought me one before I flew on a small airline to see her. It is absolutely perfect and yes, it does fit in the overhead bins. Mine is very pretty deep pink.
An excellent video! Thank you for the information, SO helpful!!!! 🤗
Geez! Congrats with the 100k, Aly! It feels like your journey has begun just yesterday. Great job!
Thanks Andy!! Thankful to have your support from the very beginning!!
I have the same 4 wheeler. I did tons of research and the bag is wonderful!
I have this bag! It holds so much. Used on a trip to China and most recent to Europe. Best bag ever!
This video was very informative and helpful ❤
Excellent. Thank You.
Perfect timing! We're traveling to Spain soon, and I need a replacement for my Travelpro bag that I have been using since the early 90s. It's got over 3 million air miles and over a hundred miles being dragged over the cobblestone streets of Vienna and other cities around the world. Travelpro replaced both wheels for me and repaired other damage, but now the handle isn't working any more.
Thank you so much. You have sent my mind at ease. I know what I’m going to buy now. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
I have the Travelpro Maxlite 5 compact carry-on spinner----I love it!!! It's the BEST!!
I just came back from a trip last week and brought my new Travelpro 4 wheel carryon bag! It’s a great bag! Very lightweight and smooth wheels. I’m thinking of buying the larger checked version for my next trip.
This was such a comprehensive review. Thanks for braving the weird looks to share this information. Your list of airlines was so expansive, that I saw my country’s airline in it. Go CAL 🇹🇹. Can the carryon provide for 3 weeks of travel? Looking forward to your next video. I’m a new subscriber.
Love this so much.
I have london fog oxford tweed set and its so unique i can spot it a mile away it has great bearings and casters and the style is unmatched.
Totally agree about the top open. Years ago we bought some carry-ons from Samantha Brown and I dreaded the day they had to toss them. You can add so much more in this configuration, especially with packing cubes. I replaced them with ones from SwissGear. Hope they work as well as these, but if not, will save this.
I went to the UK with the 4 wheeled bag. Almost 3 weeks of travel on planes, train and tube. I was more than happy with my bag. It’s very light.
I love my 2-wheel Travelpro version - slightly expandable, easy to use and fits everywhere.
I have the 4 wheel bag and love it.
I like rolling my 2-wheel bag behind me to create more personal space
I have a near identical bag that I got from samsonite a few years ago and it’s great for all the reasons you suggest. It fits every airline, even budget carriers in Europe like Ryanair. I prefer the 2 wheels for the extra space and durability. I am shocked they don’t seem to carry this style anymore but good to know there is a brand that offers it.
My Baggalini carry on is amazing. It goes under the seat in front of me. I bought a spare even though my bag is fine, I love it so much. Under $75.!
Have the 4 wheeler and we love it!!
Love Travelpro! That's all we use!
Functional knowledge shared, thank you! Enjoy the big beer break, you earned it!
Very thorough review. thanks. i prefer the 'top opening', works great. an aside- ive had good luck with clear zip lock baggies of various sizes for 'packing cubes'. they squish nicely/press out excess air and even add a rubber band. travel international (two weeks plus, with a backpack also) exclusively with carry on. it's not for everyone, but works ok for us.
Thank you, great video!!
Love Travel Pro..have had several..well made sturdy products
I have the smaller of the carryon which was good on Swissair and Turkish and I believe Canadian. And they check very carefully. The man who did the checking looked at it and was surprised how it fit. They were looking for the checked luggage fee.
I go to Oxford & London every summer & found this same bag ! I also got the 2 wheel and 4 ( I travel w Virgin Atlantic - you can take 2 carry ons in upper )
These are the best made bags and that vary you see pilots w them !
Beautiful review!
Thank you for showing Canadian airlines!! Super helpful to know it will pass!
I accidentally have this bag! It’s always on sale at Nordstrom rack and I bought it before I saw this video. And agree, I’ve traveled internationally and domestically with it with no issues.
We have two of the travel pro crew 10 bags. We have had them for years. They only have two wheels. We also have four wheeled bags as well, sometimes the four wheels can be harder to maneuver while the two wheeler seems to have more control. I also find the downside of the two wheeler is carrying the weight in your hand and dragging it behind. It depends on type of travel I am doing and which bag is best suited.
