Too much built in
on December 6, 2022
Posted by: SL G.
I bought this bag to replace a TravelPro Walkabout 2 that I have had for probably 15 years. It was a work horse and served me well all over the world, so I am a fan of TravelPro products and their durability. The thing that set my old bag apart, aside from durability, was the packing volume. Almost no one makes a 22" bag, and this one also maximized the packing volume, allowing me to use it for up to a week (for summer trips). The Platinum Elite 22" comes close measurement-wise, but loses space with the placement of the zipper (along the front instead of around the whole bag), the larger handle mechanism and the inclusion of built in compartments. In the old bag, the suiter was completely removeable for trips where it was not necessary. This one is only partially removable. The old one had simple straps to cinch items in the main compartment, allowing you to use them for some or all of the items. This one has flaps that are far less flexible in use. This makes it harder for those of us who use packing cubes. Its outside pockets are also less expandable. I am sure many like the forced organization that these features encourage, but I would encourage Travelpro to consider adding to its product line a rollaboard that allows more individualism in packing.
One more note. The USB port is a standard USB, whereas most phones and other items have now switched to USB C, so using it would require carrying cords or adapters that people would not otherwise need, and would also yield a slower charging time. It does not appear that it can be swapped out.
All of that said, I still believe the bag meets more of my needs than any other I have found, and expect it will be durable and serve me well as did its predecessor.

I am thrilled with my purchase of the Platinum Elite 22 Travel Pro. It has lots of room and a number of ways to pack my gear.

A Carry-On Good Enough For Travel
on December 5, 2022
Posted by: Lee E.
For the biggest carry-on that you can get, it serves well. Wheels are quiet and seem to do well for it’s first trip. The construction of the bag itself is of durable quality with amicable space. The zippers are of quality and so is the material.
The only thing that I don’t like about the bag is that you have the storage area for the handle that protrudes where your clothes go so your clothes don’t lay flat. Not only that, but when you’re trying to pack for four days, that real estate is very valuable. So, I improvised and used the flat areas and filled them with socks and underwear. When the bag is full like it is now, the zippers inside at the top where the buckles are are not useful and serve no purpose. On the interior side of the opening flap, the insert that is in there that can be taken out really serves no purpose either. It’s a thick card stock board covered with a foam roll that I have no idea what purpose it serves. It can be removed and I did just that.

Leisure travelers: consider if compartments are needed
on December 1, 2022
Posted by: Debbie S.
The bag is good looking, seems sturdy, well-made and durable. It is relatively light and rolls well. If you are not a business traveler, the suit section is unnecessary, takes up a lot of space and adds to the expense if you are going to remove it. Some of the extra compartments also take up space rather than add utility. A video or accompanying set of photos would be helpful to suggest uses for all the extra bells and whistles

A Great Disappointment
on November 20, 2022
Posted by: Kevin C.
Right out of the box, this feels and looks cheap and shoddy. I’ve had another TravelPro piece of luggage with a built-in suiter/garment bag that is amazing. This is not. The “suiter” is an absolute joke. The zippers do not open smoothly and seem like they’ll break. The jagged metal screws holding the handles on - what were you even thinking! It’s all terrible. Just awful.

Best for business

I bought this model for my husband. All his clothes fit and he loves the hook to hang dress shirts. He travels for work and this roll aboard is by far the best.

I’d been looking for a

I’d been looking for a well made carry on with a garment hanger in the suitcase. This one is great! Handle raises easily and wheels roll smoothly. It is small. With all the toiletries women typically carry, it’s more of a weekend bag rather than 4-5 days.
