20 Inch Expandable Carry On Luggage Airline Approved Top

Packing in narrow spaces becomes simple with a lid that lifts straight from the top. We built this 46-liter cabin case with a dedicated sleeve for a 15.6-inch laptop and a deep main tub. When you need extra room on the return leg, unzip the perimeter to add two inches of packing depth.

Top Opening Access

We designed the lid to open upwards so you can reach your laptop or a warm layer in an airplane aisle. The single deep compartment holds bulkier items without splitting your gear across two shallow halves.

Expandable Hard Shell

The impact-resistant polycarbonate shell uses a diamond texture to fend off scratches from transit belts. An expansion zipper releases two inches of extra depth, letting the case adjust when your trip runs longer than planned.

Eight Spinner Wheels

Four dual spinner wheels roll quietly across polished terminal floors, uneven pavements, and hotel carpets. We paired them with a multi-stage aluminium telescopic handle and reinforced grab points on the top, side, and bottom.

TSA Combination Lock

A built-in TSA combination lock sits flush on the shell to keep zippers secure during transit. Airport security agents can inspect the interior using master keys without forcing the pullers or damaging the locking mechanism.

What owners wrote about this one

This suitcase is awesome, bought it right before I left on vacation (Arizona) it may seem small but fits more than you think. I am a small person I have small clothes, my sister who is tall got the next size up. Concern was the handle, and it held up great I had another small carry case hooked to the handle and had no trouble. It's the perfect size and weight. Easy to get into the overhead bin on plane and checked it on the way back still looks like new.

The zippers do not feel as secure as they could be. But I think this will have to do as an emergency top-load bag. I intend to give it away after flying with it once.

Roy

I'm sooooo happy I got this despite being worried by some of the reviews. Six international trips so far, I'm still impressed by the quality. Despite filling it to the brim and sitting on it to close, no issues with locks, zippers, shell. Top opening is perfect in small spaces, fits so much! The pockets are perfect. It's light and glides smoother than my expensive suitcase with Hinomoto wheels. Great price and 100% worth it.
