As a rough guide, a 24-25" medium check-in covers trips of 5-7 days, and a 28-29" large check-in handles a week or two, sometimes more. Packing bulky winter layers, ski gear or holiday gifts? Size up. Our Size & Weight Guide breaks it down by trip length, packing style and airline weight limits. Use the Type filter above to compare medium and large check-ins side by side.

A 2-piece set pairs a carry-on with either a medium or a large check-in, a good fit for one traveler on a longer trip. A 3-piece set adds all three sizes, so you're covered for a weekend away, a two-week trip, or two travelers packing together. Sets often cost less than buying each piece on its own. In this collection, you'll find 2- and 3-piece sets from Avalon rPET, Brentwood, Cambria, Laguna, Melrose, Montecito 2.0, Montecito 3.0 and Rodeo Drive 2.0.

Most major U.S. airlines cap standard checked bags at 50 lb (23 kg) in economy, with overweight fees above that. Limits vary by airline, route and fare class, so check your carrier before you pack. Tip: weigh your bag at home, especially if you're using the expansion zipper, since a fully expanded large check-in can go over the limit quickly. Our Airline Compliance Checker lists size and weight rules for 60+ airlines.

Hardside check-ins (Brentwood, Cambria, Claremont 2.0, Laguna, Melrose, Montecito 2.0, Oceano and Rodeo Drive 2.0 Hardside) have a rigid shell that resists impact and protects fragile items and gifts through baggage handling. Softside check-ins (Avalon rPET, Malibu Bay 3.0 and Montecito 3.0) are flexible, often lighter, and usually add exterior pockets. Use the Shell filter above, or see our Hard vs. Soft Guide.

Check-ins and sets from Avalon rPET, Brentwood, Cambria, Laguna, Melrose, Montecito 2.0, Montecito 3.0 and Rodeo Drive 2.0, plus the Montecito 2.0 Hardside Check-in Cargo Trunk, include a built-in Travel Sentry® Approved combination lock, so TSA can open and relock your bag without damaging it. The Oceano, Claremont 2.0 and Malibu Bay 3.0 check-ins don't have a built-in TSA lock. Use the TSA Lock filter above, and see our TSA Lock Instructions page to set your combination.

The Montecito 2.0 Hardside Check-in Cargo Trunk is a 105L trunk-style check-in with a deeper, squarer shape than a standard spinner, made for bulky items like ski and snow gear, boots, coats and holiday gifts. It has a hardside shell and a built-in TSA lock. Because it's a large checked bag, it's worth checking your airline's size and weight rules before you fly.

The Montecito 2.0 2- and 3-piece sets, the Rodeo Drive 2.0 hardside check-ins and sets, and the Laguna Hardside 2-Piece Set include a USB port that connects to your own power bank. Remember that power banks and spare lithium batteries aren't allowed in checked luggage, so unplug the power bank and keep it in your carry-on. Use the USB Charging Port filter above to see them all.

Expandable bags have an extra zipper that opens a gusset around the case, adding packing room when you need it, like on the way home with souvenirs and gifts. Almost every bag in this collection is expandable. Just remember that more room means more weight, so weigh your bag before heading to the airport. Use the Expandable filter above to see them.
