I have been doing a lot of traveling this past year and I have become very aware of how important it is to have the right gear with you when you travel…….It makes your life a lot easier and the trip more pleasant. I have decided to update and improve the family suitcases and carry-ons, especially because we were planning to go on a family trip this summer and the correct type of luggage is a must for the occasion.

While looking for different suitcases I came across TravelPro and its extensive selection of luggage of all types and was really interested in what I saw. One of the key pieces in my travel gear is the carry on as I need a suit case that is light weight, easy to carry, and of good quality because I usually carry my most valuable and fragile items in the carry on.

 So I was very excited when TravelPro gave me the opportunity to try their 22 “Carry-On Upright from the Atlantic Luggage Ultra Lite Collection in cobalt blue. The very first thing I need to mention is the quality of the piece followed by the weight….the suitcase only weights 6.5 lbs / 2.95 kg! Which if you consider that some airline are weighing the carry-on luggage when you check in, a light weight suitcase is very important!

One more thing you need to consider is that the suitcases is the correct size. These are the sizes allowed on Jet Blue: For their Airbus A320: 26” l (66 cm) x 18” w (45.72 cm) x 12” h (30.48 cm) and for the EMBRAER 190: 24” l (60.96 cm) x 16” w (40.64 cm) x 10” h (25.4 cm). The Travelpro Lite carry on is L22″ x W14″ x H9″, so either way you are fine with this piece….It is great not to have to worry if your suitcase is going to comply… The less stress I have before a trip, the better!

As I said, the quality is also very important. This carry-on features stain and water-resistant fabric that makes spot cleaning easier. It features rubber skid guard and molded corner guards to protect the suitcase, ergonomic high-flexible strength zipper pulls, and inline skate wheels for an easy and smooth roll of your suitcase.

The carry-on also features an easy to use telescoping handle system with a push-button lock and a recessed bezel as well as three low-profile padded carry handles on three sides that makes grabbing your carry-on a breeze from any angle….This piece of luggage was made with convenience in mind.

 The suitcase features two zippered outside pockets, a large mesh inside pocket, and a smaller mesh pocket also in the inside. The suitcase also has inside straps to keep your belongings in place.
 The carry-on also features two bottom feet that provides it with stability when the luggage is upright and fully loaded. This carry-on is just one of the several pieces in the Atlantic Luggage Ultra Lite Collection and one of the many options in the Travelpro catalog. You can find the Travelpro products at selected retailers and online stores!
