Same Travelpro DNA as the Platinum Elite at a lower price. Wirecutter calls it the best budget carry-on, and it's even recommended as the top kids' luggage for durability.
If the Platinum Elite is out of your budget, the Maxlite 5 is the move — same brand, same wheel quality, just a slightly less robust warranty. It's the best value in carry-on luggage, full stop.
“The Travelpro Maxlite 5 Carry-On Spinner is the best of these bags we've seen, and it comes with the pedigree of our top pick but not quite as strong a warranty.”
