Rolling Luggage and Duffels

Carry-on rules start with the measuring tape

Carry-on cases are small enough for the cabin on many airlines, often near 22 by 14 by 9 inches including wheels and handles, while checked cases are larger, commonly 24 to 30 inches tall. Measure the case with its wheels, not just the shell, and note its empty weight, since cabin allowances also have weight caps. Four-wheel spinners glide in every direction, whereas two-wheel cases handle rough pavement and take less space. Hard shells resist crushing; soft shells expand and have outside pockets.

Spare parts that fit one case model only

Several listings in this group are not bags at all but spare parts for hard protective cases, such as o-rings, foam sets, divider strips and belt rings. These fit only the model named in the title, so match the exact case number, for example a 1510 or 1555, before choosing. An o-ring of the wrong thickness will not seal against water or dust. Luggage sets nest inside each other, so check which piece is carry-on size.

Questions about Rolling Luggage and Duffels

What size is a carry-on suitcase?

It varies by airline. Many allow roughly 22 by 14 by 9 inches including wheels and handles, but some carriers are stricter. Check your airline's published limits and weigh your packed case before you leave home.

Spinner wheels or two wheels?

Four spinner wheels roll upright beside you and turn easily on smooth floors. Two inline wheels are recessed, so they cope better with kerbs and rough ground and leave more room inside. Choose by the surfaces you cross most.

How do I find the right o-ring or foam for my hard case?

Look for the model number printed on the case, often moulded near the latch or on a label, then match it with the number in the listing title. Parts for other models may look similar but will not seal or fit.
