Is $70.99 a good price for the Elm?

Yes. At $70.99 at Target as of November 6, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range and cheap for a 117-liter hardside check-in.

No. At 29 inches tall and 20 inches wide it is a checked bag, not carry-on.

Does it have a TSA lock?

Yes. A TSA-approved built-in lock is included, so security can open it without cutting the zipper.

How much extra room does the expansion add?

The zipper expansion adds 2 inches of depth, which is useful for souvenirs but can push the bag over some airline size limits.

What is inside the Elm?

A zippered divider, two mesh zippered pockets and tie-down straps keep clothes in place.

Luggage tends to drop around Black Friday and January sales; the current $70.99 is already near the bottom of its range.

Our take on the Traveler's Choice Elm Expandable Spinner Luggage

The Traveler's Choice Elm is a single hardside checked suitcase with a 117-liter capacity, four spinner wheels and a built-in TSA lock. It expands 2 inches for extra packing room and weighs 9.5 lbs empty. At $70.99 at Target as of November 6, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range, making it one of the cheaper large hardside check-ins you can buy.
