Know before you buy
Yes, the International Expandable Carry-On is designed to fit within the overhead bin requirements for most major international and domestic airlines. However, always check your specific airline's size restrictions before flying, especially when the bag is fully expanded.
The bag features a zippered expansion system that allows you to increase the depth of the main compartment. This provides extra packing capacity for souvenirs or longer trips without compromising the structural integrity of the suitcase.
Yes, the garment sleeve is fully removable, which allows you to pack it separately or take it out if you need more room for casual clothing. It includes a hanger bracket to help keep suits or dresses wrinkle-free during transit.
The suitcase is equipped with four recessed, 360-degree swivel wheels. Because they are recessed, they are better protected from impact during baggage handling and offer a very smooth, stable glide across airport floors.
The Add-a-Bag strap is a convenient feature that allows you to securely attach a smaller personal item, like a briefcase or tote, to the handle of your suitcase. This lets you navigate the terminal hands-free by pulling both bags as a single unit.
TUMI’s 5-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It provides peace of mind for frequent travelers, ensuring that components like the telescoping handle, wheels, and zippers are protected against manufacturing issues.
