Already have another Platinum Elite item. The quality is excellent, from the spinner wheels, through the interior compartments, to the handles. This is item is right-sized for a quick overnight trip, for international carry-on, or for extra capacity paired with another Platinum Elite spinner.
Great bag as all Travelpro bags. However I found a couple of issues. Those velcro stripes on the sides are hard to handle when the bag is full. And when the bag is empty, they get in the way. The main zippers are hard to get around the corners on the bottom of the bag when it's full. Overall a good bag. I do have one wish: that the internal computer compartment could be zippered out. This would give more flexibility and reduce the weigh for those that only have one computer for travel
This seems to have Travelpro Platinum Elite's quality build, but it ultimately should either be bigger (to fit shoes better) or slimmer to fit under than airplane seat. I know there is a two wheeled version that can fit under seats, but reviews said that is too wide to roll down the aisle.
I was so excited about getting the Platinum Elite spinner! I have the older version with just 2 wheels and have other Platinum Elite sizes. But-the wheels don’t work as well as they do on my other pieces. I was disappointed. Though they do work and are easier to get down airline walkways than my old one was. Also, the fact that it doesn’t have an outside pocket for a water bottle was disappointing. I have a larger carryon that also has the battery compartment that doesn’t have the pocket but I really didn’t notice that this smaller size also was without it.
Great size for international travel and smaller cabin storage spaces. However my partner has the two wheeled version and it was far superior with pouches including a zipper in toiletry bag for quick TSA inspection. Seems like now you have to purchase all those separate. Like packing cubes. Whereas with my partners two-wheeled version you didn’t need packing cubes with all the zippered pouches and restraint straps. Also the extended handle was very wobbly in comparison.
