In search of the 24" rollaboard
Looking for 24" rollaboard recommendations. My current TravelPro is at the end of it's useful life.
Wishlist:
- 24" not 22" (I'll take my chances)
- Wheeled but not a spinner
- Durable / decent warranty (I've actually successfully forced TravelPro to repair luggage and I beat the you-know-what out of luggage(
22" models seem to be taking over - but I use that last 2"! Any ideas would be much appreciated!

24" luggage is not classified as a roll-a-board by the Travel Goods Association.
However a few brands still make 24", most considered as small checked luggage, so just change your searches, a few name brands, and license deals out there on that type of bag. Google 24 inch roller luggage and you will probably find what you are looking for, like the Samsonite swerve as an example, comes in a 24" model.

(Costco) Kirkland Signature Upright 21.5" expandable roller, heavy (11.5 lbs) & sturdy, #10 YKK zipper, packs everything needed for a 5 to 10 days trip going abroad, measured really at 22.75" and considered carry-on flying JetBlue as 24" is their max.
Been checked only a few times on a full flight with a tight/late connection but otherwise, it goes everywhere as carry-on (avoid using when segments are on regional jets) Available again online - under $120 shipped, slightly more for non-members.

Here, mine teamed up with backpack from eBags and a classic Timbuk2 messenger bag (tablets, BT keyboard, smartphone, headset, meds & other essentials for easy in-flight reach).
