- Does it meet airline carry-on size limits?
- At 21.75 by 14.25 by 9.75 inches it fits the common 22 by 14 by 9 inch limit used by most major US airlines. Check your specific carrier, since some international and budget airlines are stricter.
- Is it expandable?
- No. The shell is fixed, so pack to the divider rather than counting on extra room on the return trip.
- How does it compare with a soft-sided carry-on?
- The hard shell protects contents better and resists rain, but it weighs more and has no outside pockets. Soft bags are lighter and squeeze into tight overhead bins.
- What is the warranty?
- One year from Open Story, which is shorter than the multi-year coverage on many premium suitcases.
- What is inside the case?
- A full divider panel and packing straps in the main compartment. There are no built-in packing cubes or wet pockets.
- Is 7.3 lb too heavy to lift into the overhead bin?
- It is on the heavy side for a carry-on. Most adults can lift it, but it is worth testing loaded before a long trip.
- Where is the Open Story carry on suitcase cheapest?
- At Target, for $72.00, as of our latest check.
