Travelpro Platinum Elite 21" Expandable Carry-On Spinner on Hawaiian Airlines
Bag 23.5×14.5×9" vs sizer 22×14×9"
No — it's oversized.
The verdict, explained
At 23.5x14.5x9", the Travelpro Platinum Elite 21" Expandable Carry-On Spinner exceeds Hawaiian Airlines's 22x14x9" carry-on sizer — it is 1.5" too big on its longest side, 0.5" too big on its second-longest side. Even with the straps pulled tight, the overage is too large to count on squeezing it in. Expect it to be turned away at the gate and gate-checked. On Hawaiian Airlines: Carry-on free; 25 lb cabin-bag weight limit enforced. It is too large for Hawaiian Airlines's under-seat personal-item space, so it has to go overhead or be checked.
Manufacturer's note
Travelpro publishes two sizes for this bag: 23.5 x 14.5 x 9 in overall, counting the wheels and the top and side carry handles, and 21 x 14 x 9 in for the case itself. Our verdict uses the overall figure, which is over a 22 x 14 x 9 in sizer on paper. Travelpro says the bag is sizer-bin tested to fit the overhead bins of most major US airlines, because the soft carry handles fold flat; only the expanded bag may not meet airline limits. Keep it zipped unexpanded at the gate.
