Travelpro Crew Expert Max Carry-on Expandable Rollaboard (Jet Black)

Perfect for 2 - 3 day trips

I have been using this bag for about a month now and I have been pleased. I travel frequently (about 140 air segments a year, many on smaller regional jets), so I put the my 22" rollerboards through some rugged endurance tests. This bag only had 2, not four wheels (my preference). I like this bag over my previous Crew 9 and Crew 10. It has a better front pocket configuration than older Crew designs and in my limited experience, stands upright and is more stable. Previous 2-wheeled Crew bags tended to fall forward when fully loaded; this one does not have that problem. Additionally, I like the pocket on the underside of the bag, which has only been available on the luggage typically sold through specialty pilot/flight crew outlets.The inside of the bag is a bit different. I have always purchased the "suiter" versions of Travel Pro luggage. These versions have a hanger on the suitcase lid which I could typically house 4 dress shirts and 2 pairs of slacks - enough to get me through a Monday-Friday trip. These compartments fold up in thirds and then clip near the hinge to secure the contents. On this bag, the suiter compartment has a zipper to seal up the sides of the suiter bag which seems to compress the contents a bit too much to suit my tastes. This is my only negative comment on the bag.Other important elements are good hardy zippers and wheels that track relatively quietly when moving through airports. Travel Pro has always been good in these departments based on based experience and these elements on this bag appear even sturdier.At this price point, this is one of the better rollerboards you can find.

Travelpro is definitely worth the $$$. I prefer it over Tumi & other high-end luggage brands. My previous Travelpro lasted for years, so I hadn't ordered one for awhile. My only issue is the inside zipper wall is on the opposite side, so I can't propped it up without everything falling out. Not a huge deal breaker, would definitely purchase again.

I'm a fan of the now less-common two-wheeled rollaboards that use rollerblade style wheels. They feel sturdier for use on sidewalks and the like, even if its a bit harder to use in certain situations. This suitcase has pretty much everything I want, including a luggage strap to use to attach my backback. My only complaint about the luggage strap is that the metal hook has a permanent three-dimensional shape to it. This makes it easy to loop a bag over it, but its harder to store the clip out of the way, and I also notice that its often not as easy as you might think to take a bag *off* of the clip using just one hand. Overall, though, I'm quite happy with this.

This bag is very strongly built and has excellent free-rolling wheels and a strong well-designed handle. Much less inclined to tip over when fully loaded than my old, gold-standard Crew 4, which I've used for 15 years. The one thing I don't like is that the suit compartment zips down, which makes it much harder to access than the one on the old Crew 4 and much more likely for the zipper to break. The suit compartment is also smaller so I can no long hold enough to keep me going on a trip of any length-- four shirts and two trousers. Buy this bag if you don't care about the suit compartment or are OK with a smaller one than in the old Crew 4.

Lightweight survives a long time.Replaced my old one.Lasted 6 years.Airline crew and we beat them up.Great bag but it is about 1 inch wider than my previous bag. Fits great in the overhead compartment of aircraft very well. It does not fit in the pilot storage area of the 737-700 or older aircraft. Fits in the 800 or Max.

I was looking to replace my 11 year old Travelpro two wheeled with a folding extension for clothes. I travel extensively, averaging 1.5 to 2 k miles a year. The bag is sometimes checked depending on the trip. I almost bought the non-airline standard one, but didn't because the zippers and fabric didn't look as durable. Glad I made this choice. The folding clothes extension and durability is exactly what I wanted. The wheels are quiet and roll smoothly.

Great bag. I am on the road 60% to 75%of the time for work and I have struggle to find a GREAT 2 to 3 night bag. This is my 3rd Travelpro bag, as my family keeps taking the others I have purchased. This is the largest and most durable model I have had to date. I am a big guy, and I have no problem getting everything I need into this bag for 3 to 4 nights. My only complaint is that it only has the 2 wheel set up, not the 4 wheel casters.

A solidly built but very well kitted out carryon. Technically it’s slightly larger than the allowable size but in practice you can often get away with it. Very well finished, includes suit carrier which means you can pack shorts and pants on hangars. Also has compartment for laptop. Will expand for those occasions when you need to carry a lot of stuff. Expensive but worth it if you travel frequently.
