Travel Products - Victorinox WT 4.0 - 22 vs 20X

Hi all,

I'm trying to decide between two very similar Victorinox Werks Traveler 4.0 rollaboards:
- WT22 (http://www.victorinox.com/ch/product/Travel-Gear/Category/Collections/Werks-Traveler-4-0/WT-22/31300101)
- WT20X (http://www.victorinox.com/ch/product/Travel-Gear/Category/Collections/Werks-Traveler-4-0/WT-20X/31300901)
I would appreciate any first-hand experiences of this bag please.

Despite the WT22 having its expansion zip at a better location (in the middle) than the WT20X (at the edge) in terms preventing the bag from tipping over, I am a little worried that the WT22 might be a little too tall for international travel by the IATA standards of 56cm. The WT22 also boasts a two-litre extra capacity compared to the WT20X (according to the specifications). Apart from these differences, I assume that they are almost identical.

Has anyone successfully managed to fit the WT22 into the sizer boxes that BA uses at LHR, or the ones that easyJet uses at its airports? (Both of them being at the maximum IATA size of 56x45x25)

Thanks in advance!

Have you also considered this version with the removable garment carrier? Or do you not require such an option?

So I bought a 20" and it is a great bag in terms of construction, weight and quality. I HATE the single handle. It makes balancing something on the handle while you're pulling it tricky. My laptop bag would slide off unless it was perfectly balanced.

I saw the X version, but did not want to go with the odd-sized width.

Note that the 20X is 2" wider the 22 and one inch less deep. The 20 (not 20x) is the same height depth as the 20x, but 3.5" narrower. Some airlines have width restrictions that don't officially include the 20x.
