Travelpro Maxlite3 International Carry-On Spinner (Accessory)

If you're looking for a domestic carry-on, this is a very good one.

Four flights, several badly designed airports with lengthy walks, stairs up and stairs down, and I absolutely love it. Didn't need any help lifting it overhead, which is not true when I take the Samsonite. It's a little smaller, but I still had no trouble fitting everything I needed for the week, including 2 pairs of shoes and 2...Read more
