Travelpro Crew 11 26" Expandable Upright Suiter Suitcases (One Size, Black)

First trip out and at the start of a long trip I was cussing out this suitcase. I had wheeled the suitcase over a block of gravel then multiple blocks of cobblestone then got to smoothish marble sidewalks when I started to get a squeak. Before then the bag had been easy to go on the various surfaces and the height with the handle was good. Got to my hotel and checked the wheels and saw no problems. Heading back out,sans the suitcase, and got the squeaks again it was my shoes.Once that thinking was gone I had no issues with the luggage. It is light weight and held up to punishment to the wheels and being tossed around with no issues. This is a replacing an old clam luggage, that go destroyed by some bag handler, and I am liking it.

I just returned from 12 days in Israel and I'm very impressed with this piece of luggage. Four airports, going and coming, countless rides inside the belly of a tour bus and it looks great. Very durable, holds a lot and it's light. Glad I bought it!

Just received this and have not used yet, so will update later if any flaws occur. This is a nice, solid suitcase but with one major design flaw - the backside of it is not reinforced at all; it's just cloth and a thin layer foam lining (see pictures). Since this is a checked piece of luggage, this blows my mind they would skimp on this. So, I got crafty with a few pieces of cardboard and reinforced it myself (double layers) as pictured. This is a temporary solution for the time being or until I can find a thick plastic or some type of waterproof board that will hold up in case of any water damage. Besides this, the indigo color is a beautiful purplish-blue. The removable suiter attachment is nice for long tunic tops or dresses (and obviously suits). Zippers are smooth and don't notice any issues as of right now. Overall pretty happy with this suitcase despite above stated design flaw.

This bag has lots of room, is very light, and is very well built. It has very high quality wheels and rolls with ease. The handle has two positions so if you are short or tall you can adjust it to one of the two positions that suit you best. Great travel bag with lots of compartments, I love it.

After researching I decided that spinner wheels were to fragile and went with a roller board. I bought Travelpro because of the warranty. I used it on two trips and Delta airlines ruined one wheel. I would have to pay to ship the bag for repairs because the nearest repair shop is over 90 miles away. Instead of sending me a free wheel, they charged me $12.00. It is annoying that I am saving them money by fixing it myself, yet they charge me. From the looks of my wheel I think a spinner would have been damaged even more. I don't know what Delta did to cause this type of damage. The good thing is I can fix it. Get luggage that has wheels put on with screws that can be replaced. Just know that you will either pay for shipping or the part, unless the repair shop is in your town. For me the warranty is useless. The bag itself is average. My husband has a Costco bag that packs just as well as this, and this cost more. Costco would have given me a new bag if I took it back damaged like this.

This Travelpro 26 inch Crew 11 series luggage has proven to be a very durable piece with a very practical layout design for packing clothing and weighing less than some of my older smaller size Travelpro pieces of luggage! Now, if Travelpro would only go back to offering, in addition to this 26 inch size roller board model, a 24 inch roller board model for packing for shorter trips that would really be outstanding! My years of travel experience for business has taught me that the newer spinner, (4 wheel designed) pieces do not hold up near as long as the roller board style and apparently Travelpro is only now offering a 25 inch spinner model in their Crew 11 series, meaning that their product offering no longer has a midsize rolller board model in the 24 or 25 inch size!

It was time to get new luggage and I upgraded from the TPC8 and I've always used a 26"/22" combo because they hook together perfectly and keeps my packing underweight every time. I purchased the TPC11 26"&22" on 12/2 to fly on the xmas holiday. I guess it's my bad for not specifically looking for it, and why would I even think of it when all the prior versions had it, but how in the Wide Wide World of Sports does the TPC11 26" bag NOT have an add a bag hook and the 22" DOES?!?!? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Who would even add a bag to a 22" bag in the first place?!?! So now I'm using some stupid belt to tie them together because it's too late to return them and I'm flying out today. Looking awesome Travelpro. Makes you wanna run right out and get one doesn't it?VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

It was too small and too expensive

Tuve una maleta Travelpro Crew más o menos del mismo tamaño que me duró fácil unos 10 años y fui muy feliz con ella. Por eso mismo decidí comprar el modelo nuevo siendo que es una maleta cara.Tristemente, el modelo anterior de hace 10 años estaba mucho mejor. Este nuevo modelo no tiene para enganchar otra maleta (yo lo usaba cuando viajaba con dos maletas, funcionaba muy bien el gancho), no tiene tampoco una bolsa trasera (que ahí yo guardaba bolsas para cuando había que quitar peso de la maleta), tampoco tiene una tercera bolsa que tenía la maleta anterior en el frente para guardar documentos o ahí ponía las corbatas. También la anterior, dentro del forro tenía unas bolsitas para poner tarjetas u otras cosas y esta nueva ya no lo tiene.En la parte de abajo dónde están las ruedas, el modelo anterior tenía un protector casi a lo ancho de la maleta de plástico duro que se ve en mi maleta vieja está muy golpeado, la maleta nueva solo tiene unas tiritas de plástico que no cubren todo el ancho por lo que seguro se va a dañar mucho más rápido la tela. Está mucho más blanda en general, quiero suponer que es para que pese menos, espero dure.Visualmente se ve un producto bien hecho, veamos si dura pero no creo que dure otros 10 años salvo que este nuevo material sea mucho mejor pero no me siento como con la anterior que se veía que todo estaba muy bien pensado.

So contrary to the pictures and description on the amazon webpage this suitcase DOES NOT HAVE THE USB CHARGING PORT built into it. I purchased this case specifically for that reason because I wanted to use a battery bank with it, but now I cannot. If it were not such a huge item and if I had not purchased it as a Christmas Gift for someone I would return it.
