Travelpro's Platinum Elite Hardside Spinner
Travelpro's Platinum Elite Hardside Spinner is the second-best carry-on luggage to the Samsonite Freeform. Its durable polycarbonate shell stood up well to being hit with a bat and pushed off a table. The self-aligning spinner wheels make for smooth rolling, and adjustable handle feels solid while offering a comfortable grip. However, moving it across carpeted floors requires a little more effort.
With the help of external USB A & C ports with fast charging capabilities and a specific external-access battery pocket that offers FAA-compliant storage for your power bank, you may charge your electronics while traveling. The spinner-wheel carry-on luggage has been sizer bin tested to fit in most major domestic airlines' overhead bins. It also features a zippered 2" expansion option to expand packing capacity as needed.
Many testers claimed that even after expanding the luggage, they had no trouble packing the clothes and shoes. Keep in mind, of course, that this makes it a bit harder to fit in an overhead bin. A few more internal pockets would have been nice as well, but in the end, its durable design is worth the investment.
