Question: Is this carry on allowed for American Airline? Thanks
Answer: Well, American Airlines states on its website that allowable carry on size is 22x14x9. This bag is 21x14x9. The Travelon site describes this case as "meets carry-on size restrictions for most domestic airlines." Based on that, I would say yes, it does. You should probably double check with the airline, if not comfortable. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question: What is the difference between 20 and One Size selection
Answer: It means that for the 20 inch case shown on this page there is only one size. Other sizes of this case are shown on different pages. I agree that it is confusing.
Question: how much does each case weigh when empty
Answer: Spinner 20: 6.81 lbsSpinner 24: 8.34 lbsSpinner 28: 10.35 lbs
Question: Would you recommend this set, has it held up well to general airline abuse
Answer: I have had this set of spinners for 2 1/2 years, in its time it has been to over 30 countries, hundreds of flights, living out of these suitcases for approx 3-4 months a year and the 20” carry on handle just broke the other day after a 3 week trip. - It’s the bag I use the most frequently and I’d say that is one hell of a run. I’m back here to buy another 20” spinner to replace mine because its track record with me personally speaks for itself. I will say that I hope the handle on this spinner is more ridged - Just my two cents on a topic I know better than most anyone.
Question: I saw that the dimension is
Answer: I saw that the dimension is 62.5 Have anyone experienced international trips with this suitcase?

User questions & answers

Question: Does this come in 24 x 16 inches
Answer: No, I don't think so. I have the 24in and just used it for a 6 day trip and it was perfect. Not to big or to small. The 20in would not have worked for me. For the money the 24 is better. But it would probably not work as a carryon.
Question: I'm torn between the 20" and the 24". Is the 20" big enough for a week's worth of travel
Answer: Yup- works well. Just that the handle is a bit wobbly which probably is the case to some extent w all carry ons :-)
Question: could i have this suit case as a carry on you think
Answer: Excellent bag! Survived to European trips and still in great shape.
Question: is this bag too large for the 62 inch dimension requirement
Answer: The way sampling works on the 404 is way different than the electribe. It’s really two ways of working. Try it out and see which way you like best
