I watched both of your reviews and they convinced me to get this size, just without the exterior pocket. It looks like a solid unit and if it got you through a 10-day trip, it should serve me well for shorter trips. Thanks!
You may want to watch this video, I have gone to compression packing cubes since that video and it will save you a little room. Thanks for watching and safe travels. th-cam.com/video/5CX8HwoEgAM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=54LF5gSKoui3Z_oB
"like I'm gonna crap my pants 10 days in a row" LOL Love it!!! I pack exactly the same way and am looking at this suitcase hard. Thanks for the review after you used it and at your destination. -Tom
You’re welcome, I knew there had to be someone else out there with the same mindset as me about underwear🤣😂. Thanks for watching and for appreciating my joke.
Thank you so much for your review. My biggest concern was the likelihood that you had to check the bag. I understand if the flight is full, but I don't want to purchase the Pro and it doesn't fit in the overhead compartment.
Same here, it fit on every flight but one for me. From Little Rock to Chicago we were on a Embraer regional twinjet which is tiny, so tiny in fact my backpack barley fit in the overhead. Everyone got gate checked on that one. That was the only issue that I had after that I had more than enough room in the overhead compartments. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Were there any issues (from the airlines) in carrying the bag onto your flights since this bag is slightly larger than most airline acceptable specs for carry-ons??? BG
No problems on any of the flights we took. I got gate checked on a super small plane on the way to Chicago but it was so small my backpack barely fit in the overhead so that was understandable. I wish there was one bag or case that would meet all airline requirements but sadly there’s not at this time. Thanks for watching!
I did end up with one scuff and have not tried the included magic eraser to see if it would take it off. I think luggage is going to end up scuffed or banged up, because we are not always the ones in charge of our luggage especially if you get gate checked or a bus driver is loading it. I may do a cleaning video is in the future, thanks for watching!

The weight was fine even packed for a 10 day trip. And the airlines didn’t even look twice at it or question the weight. It’s made of a polycarbonate and it’s pretty lite to start with. Thanks for watching.
It would have to be a slim bag to fit but it's possible. I put my toiletry kit inside and have moved away from as much liquid as possible, I use bar soap and shampoo and we just recently found bar lotion. The only thing liquid I have left is toothpaste and I think you can even get that in a tablet now so may give that a try on our next trip. We are always carry-on only so the smaller the form factor the better. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
It did, even on the smaller connecting flights I did not have any issues putting it in the overhead compartments. Thanks for watching and for the comment
@Tankfultravels no worries, I ended up getting the black large check-in for me and ocean blue for my dad. The ocean blue is awesome in person, he loves it. Thanks for the response!
I got them from Amazon and I think it has been a few years, maybe 2019. They have held up well but I have been thinking about getting new ones at some point, maybe compression ones. Here's a link if you want to check them out amzn.to/3PfFnhz. Thanks for watching!
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. I haven’t tried putting mine under the seat but I do not think it will fit. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
We picked Bologna on this trip for the food scene. We have been to Rome, Florence, and Sorrento we will hopefully see the whole country one day🤞. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I am trying to decide on which Carry to purchase. The small “carry on” or the “carry on plus”. Looking at Alaska air and United basic the carry on plus does not meet the size guidelines for carry on travel. Also internationally it may be too big. How did you decide to go with the plus?
Lindsay I went with the one that was closer to all the airlines guidelines 22x14x9. And they are all within inches of each other the Carry-On is 22x14x9 the Carry-Pro is 23x14x9 and the The Carry-On Pro Plus is 23x15x9.5 Our recent Italy trip had 8 flights total 4 in the US and 4 international using 3 different airlines and no one questioned it. I got gate checked on a connection flight but everyone on the plane did as well it was a tiny plane, my backpack barely fit in the overhead. I think they would have to be really nitpicking to make you check it but I know that can happen as well. Let me know if I can answer anymore questions about the case and thanks for watching!
@@TheRetiredTravelers Hi! Did you travel through a budget airline like vueling, ryanair, easy jet and take it with you as a cabin bag? I know those airlines have a smaller preference for carry on and was wondering if you had to check it in
@@jeremysmith7409 We did, from Frankfurt to Bologna we flew on Air Dolomiti. They use the Embraer ER190/100LR, it fit fine in the overhead, and I was never asked to gate-check it. The only time I got gate-checked was from Little Rock to Chicago but the plane was so small I could barely get my backpack in the overhead, sat with my knees in my face (really small plane) most of the trip. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Hi Theresa! This is Shannon, Allen’s wife. I actually have a Level 8 and just shot a video of me packing it for a trip to the beach. Mine is very similar in size to his Monos so you might want to check that out. We’ll provide the link to the video here when it’s finished. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching and the comment!
Thanks for the review!!! I purchased a Monos Carry On Pro a couple of days ago and it was interesting to see what all you got in it.
Happy you found it helpful, thanks for watching and the comment!
I've just bought a Carry-On Pro but your video has inspired me to buy the packing cubes as well!

Great looking bag and super helpful review.
Thank you, I am still using it and have not any issues to date. Thanks for watching!

A super helpful review, especially if one plans to use it for international travel.

Did the bag scuff up badly? That seems to be the biggest complaint.

Looks great so what about the weight??? Of this carry on.
The weight was fine even packed for a 10 day trip. And the airlines didn’t even look twice at it or question the weight. It’s made of a polycarbonate and it’s pretty lite to start with. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review :) Does a 1l bag with toiletry items (liquids, aerosols, and gels) fit inside the front pocket?
It would have to be a slim bag to fit but it's possible. I put my toiletry kit inside and have moved away from as much liquid as possible, I use bar soap and shampoo and we just recently found bar lotion. The only thing liquid I have left is toothpaste and I think you can even get that in a tablet now so may give that a try on our next trip.

Did this suitcase fit into the overhead bin fine?
It did, even on the smaller connecting flights I did not have any issues putting it in the overhead compartments. Thanks for watching and for the comment
@@TheRetiredTravelers thank you. This is the pro, not the pro plus, correct?
Correct, the Carry on Pro is the one that I purchased.
Is that the ocean blue color?
Yes and sorry for the slow response, I did not see the comment when it was posted.
@Tankfultravels no worries, I ended up getting the black large check-in for me and ocean blue for my dad. The ocean blue is awesome in person, he loves it. Thanks for the response!
Which packing cubes do you have ?
I got them from Amazon and I think it has been a few years, maybe 2019. They have held up well but I have been thinking about getting new ones at some point, maybe compression ones. Here's a link if you want to check them out amzn.to/3PfFnhz. Thanks for watching!
Ordered this and the medium check in. It fits good under the seat on the plane?
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. I haven’t tried putting mine under the seat but I do not think it will fit. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
great review sir thank you
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Curious why you went to Bologna, could it be AEKDB?
We picked Bologna on this trip for the food scene. We have been to Rome, Florence, and Sorrento we will hopefully see the whole country one day🤞. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@TheRetiredTravelers Ah ha. I went to Bologna in 2019. I've yet to go anywhere else in Italy.
BTW, ordered the Monos Carry On Plus Pro, so thanks for the review and follow-up.
Your welcome, hopefully you find it as useful as I have. If you get the chance both Rome and Florence are worth a visit. Thanks again for watching!

You pack lite 👍🏽
We try to stay as lite and mobile as possible, less to worry about that way. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Please show how your wife packed. Women have more accessories to pack…makeup, handbags, shoes, etc.
