Travelpro Maxlite Air Hardside Expandable Luggage, 8 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Hard Polycarbonate

Good so far, able to pack christmas presents + clothes for 2 and a bit weeks easily without even expanding the bag.Time will tell how it holds up, will update the review in 6 months.

I bought a Maxlite Air Large Expandable Hard Shell Spinner 78cm in May 2025. I forst used it on a trip to the USA in October. The case was full and expanded and had a strap around it. Despite the strap, when I collected the case at JFK, the zip had parted.I tried to contact TravelPro, but there is no number and when you are in the USA, the website defaults to TravelPro USA, which requires a USA telephone number. After an hour of going round in circles I gave up and went and bought another (proper) suitcase. However, I brought the broken one back to England in the hope of sending it back as not fit for purpose. Getting any sort of answer from TravelPro Europe was hopeless so I'm going to throw it away. Be warned!

Really nicely quality hard sides cabin bag.I selected 21 carry on which is actually 22.83 inches including wheels (58cm)This is too large for most European Airlines where the max is 56cm height, in the US I believe they are more generous limits.I am sending back as it’s not worth failing the airline sizers in Europe so they can change me 50 euro to check it

The colour is neither pink nor purple. It is described correctly so more my bad. Sturdiness still to be tested

From design to functionality, this luggage is simply perfect 👌🏻. I traveled across several places in Europe by plane and train, and it was incredibly easy to handle, thanks to the smooth wheels, even with the weight it carried.A must-have for any traveler! 👍🏼

Leicht, praktisch, qualitativ

I am a frequent flyer; International. I have used all of the major brands but none have held up like this Travelpro hard case. It’s one of the lightest hard cases in its class and with the zippered expansion, you can get a lot more packed and stay under the 50lb limit. I love that both shell halves are zippered as it keeps all of my belongings from moving around in transit and nothing goes spilling out when you open the case. The hardshell provides additional protection for my electronics and has stood up to years of abuse. My only complaint while minor, would be the fixed handles; I get that they are “low profiled” to prevent from catching on things but it makes it difficult and mildly uncomfortable gripping the handle. That said, you really only used those handles to load and unload the case from belts and scales. Most times you are wheeling it around by the telescoping handle which functions flawlessly. Amazing value and quality.

I love the color of this suitcase! It also glides smoothly while running through the airport, and I love how both sections of the suitcase are zippered off. The airline luggage handlers on my last flight scuffed it up in a few spots, but all the scuffs came out at home when I cleaned it. I will say, the title of the listing made me think this was the normal carryon size piece, but it turns out it's the compact carryon size. So that was a little annoying, but probably better for international travel anyway. I was able to pack for a week in this, so definitely large enough. Great brand and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Just used this bag for 2 trips. It is light weight and easy and rolls very well. You can tell it is a quality product.I travel 2X a month and this bag is perfect

As someone who has previously used the Travelpro Maxlite soft case, I appreciate the convenience of an external pocket for quick access to items. However, I recently switched to the Travelpro Maxlite Air Hardside 21" carry-on and have found that the hard-shell design offers more structure and protection for my belongings during travel. While it doesn't have an external pocket, the interior organization system is well-designed and maximizes packing space. Overall, I am pleased with my decision to upgrade to the Maxlite Air Hardside and would recommend it to other travelers in need of a reliable and structured suitcase.
