Does the Platinum Elite Carry-On Spinner include a power bank?
No. The bag provides external USB-A and USB-C pass-through ports and a dedicated pocket for a customer-supplied backup battery, but the power bank is not included. Travelpro states that the pocket is designed to comply with applicable FAA requirements.
How much extra capacity does this carry-on provide when expanded?
The spinner expands by up to two inches. Travelpro describes the expansion as tapered, which keeps the center of gravity lower and is intended to help reduce tipping while adding packing capacity.
What organization features are built into the carry-on?
The interior includes a deluxe tie-down system, integrated accessory pockets, and a removable quart-size wet pocket described as TSA compliant for toiletries. It also has a drop-in, fold-out suiter that can be removed and used as a garment bag.
How are the handle and wheels designed for maneuvering?
The bag uses an airline-grade aluminum extension handle with four height settings and a Contour Grip. Its 360-degree MagnaTrac spinner wheels are self-aligning and magnetic, a design Travelpro says helps the bag roll in any direction.
Does the exterior resist water and stains?
Yes. Travelpro identifies the exterior fabric as having a DuraGuard coating and states that the coating resists moisture and stains. This describes resistance, not a claim that the soft-sided bag is waterproof or suitable for submersion.
Is this carry-on tested for overhead-bin fit?
Travelpro describes the Carry-On size as tested to fit in overhead bins on most major U.S. airlines, while also noting that it provides extra room for packing. Actual acceptance can still depend on the airline, aircraft, and the bag's packed or expanded state.
