Q: Do you (as an actual airline traveler) find that this suitcase complies with most airline carry-on requirements?

submitted by HeidiHo - 3 years ago
  • A: Yes they do comply with the requirements.

    submitted bySwissGear - 3 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Delta requires less that 45" total linear inches, this comes in at 48.50" linear inches. Not sure if they would stop you from taking it on or not.

    submitted byMN Limby - 3 years ago
  • A: This DOES NOT comply. Stopped twice with this bag and made to check it. CHANGE THE INFORMATION ON THIS!!

    submitted bykim0712 - 3 years ago

Q: Hello! What are the total outside dimensions of this carry on, including wheels and handle please? American Airlines requires 22 x 14 x 9 for maximum total dimensions. Thanks in advance!

submitted by HB - 6 years ago
  • A: Hello, Here is the product dimensions 23.5 x 15.25 x 9.75 in * Product dimensions include wheels and handles.

  • A: Why is this advertised as a 20" suitcase if it's 23.5"? Can you please confirm these dimensions are for the Swissgear Checklite 20" Softside Carryon Suitcase?

    submitted byKBT - 3 years ago
  • A: The 23.5" is probably the overall size, and the 20" refers to just the case, not including wheels and handles. Luggage companies are inconsistent when it comes to what the dimensions really mean.

    submitted byBobo - 2 years ago

Q: Has anyone used this on American Airlines? They only allow 14" width. At over 15" would this work? I really like this suitcase but it would need to work on American. Thanks if anyone has this I info.

submitted by LAE - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes - I've used this bags 20+ times with American Airlines carry-on for domestic flights only though. International flight requirements might be different.

    submitted byAAFrequenter - 2 years ago
  • A: Unfortunately, we can not answer this question because we do know if a customer has used this on American Airlines.

Q: How much does this bag weigh and is it water resistant?

submitted by Lite Traveler - 7 years ago
  • A: It’s very light. Negligible even. I haven’t weighed it to give a specific weight but I doubt a suitcase can get any lighter and still be this tough. As far as water resistance goes if the suitcase is submerged obviously the water will probably get in through the zippers but I have been caught in heavy rainfall and everything inside stays nice and dry. This luggage is amazing! You’ll love it.

    submitted bySickPowderBruh - 7 years ago
  • A: Hello, The 7850 CHECKLITE 20" PILOT CASE weighs only 6.5 lbs. While not completely water resistant, water will not easily penetrate inside the luggage due to its durable 720D dobby polyester.

    submitted bySwissGear - 7 years ago

Q: These dimensions exceed AA carryon height limit by 1-1.5 inches. I’m worried about having to check this bag. Anyone know if this would be a problem or get overlooked?

submitted by Loulou - 6 months ago
  • A: Please check with the airline carrier you are using as product dimensions vary from each carrier.

submitted by FrequentTraveler - 11 months ago

Q: The gray one appears to have only 4 wheels, despite the description. If you look closely, the wheels are different from the black and blue options. Does the gray one really only have 4 wheels?

submitted by GJW - 11 months ago
  • A: They all have the same spoke style wheels. The photo of the bag with all Black wheels is an old photo.

    The dimensions of this suitcase are too big for a carry-on with most US carriers. Not something you want to find out after you buy it, so beware.

    This bag has been my perfect go-to for 7 years. It has gone everywhere, from New Zealand and Tahiti to Mexico to Europe. The only reason I am looking for a new bag now is that the overhead sizes in Europe (Air France) have gotten ridiculously small.

    It’s a great bag but we had to check it in with United. They said gate checked is usually what they would do if we didn’t check it in at the counter. This kind of defeats the purpose of a carry on plus it scratches it up. If you don’t fly with United you should be ok.

    The bag tilts forward causing it to fall over when a backpack is carried on top. Also, swissgear does not sell replacement telescoping handles. I guarantee these handles will fail before anything else on the bag. I have had 2 earlier versions of this bag. I got this as a gift, otherwise would not have gotten it.

    Carry on luggage is essential for todays travel. It needs to be small enough to fit the over bids, and yet maximize the space needed for your items. I love swissgear! Perfect for my travels!

    The zipper came unstitched and the pills came off the 2nd time I used this luggage. Of course it’s past Target’s return window so I have to try to contact the vendor, but hopefully this review will save you from wasting your money!

    Overall quality is nice. Rollers feel solid. Took one star off as the zipper tracks feel like they may not last long. It feels slightly overpriced for this reason.

    Swiss Gear is my go to for anything they make. My carry on has everything you could want. It expands if needed, has 2 front pockets that can more than my old carry on. Inside it’s pretty deep, has the straps that hold things in place, a wet pouch. The top is a netted zipper pocket & has a side netted zipper pocket as well. Plus I’m kinda partial to the navy blue since it matches my Swiss Gear backpack which slides nicely on to the telescopic handle. Maneuvering even with my backpack on top is so smooth & easy. Definitely a Swiss Gear fan!

    I didnt realize that it doesn't include a side handle, so lugging it into the overhead bin is a challenge when its heavy. I thought all rollons had side handles, and didn't realize it until I was trying to launch into overhead bin.

    Glides like Butter ! No more pulling…. Unless you feel the need Was an inch and a half shorter than my old bag but being slightly wider made up the volume difference and this bag has a zipper you can unzip to expand a bit Just as Good I got it at half price on sale !
