For any crew researching this, I've been using is for a couple of years, and changing bags now. The tiny Single Wheels on this are an issue, it does not roll as easily as a double wheel bag does. There's considerable resistance and will not roll easily across carpet, even many thin carpets. This became more a problem after the new LGA terminal opened and some idiot decided concourses need carpet, lol. I've ended up with pain from tugging on this thing. So if you're looking to change from a 2wheel roll aboard to a spinner, the Travelpro Platinum Elite Spinner fixes this issue with double wheels, but is considerably more expensive with leather trim and metal zippers.
This is good info. Unless you really want or need the spinner style for some reason, I almost always recommend a 2-wheeled pull-behind bag for flight crew.
I don't see this luggage available anywhere else, is it exclusive to flightattendantshop? Btw this luggage seems to be perfect for me and your demostration is excellent thank you.
Do you know the measurements including wheels & handle? Trying to find a quality spinner bag that will work for both domestic and international travel in the overhead bins.
Thank you for the quick response. I assume Travel Pro doesn't make a FlightCrew5 spinner that falls under the 21.5 height restriction? Any feedback on the 23" being an issue when traveling?
There is just the one spinner in the FC5 line. Some of their other lines have a spinner tote that measures about 18" including the wheels, but you don't get much packing space. Honestly, I don't get any negative feedback about bags being too big, even though many of Travelpro's 21-22" sized bags are actually 22.5 to 23.5". Of course, every airline is different, so do your research and get what you will be most comfortable with. I can't guarantee any bag will fit in every bin or bag sizer.

It is exclusive to retailers who sell to flight crews. You are welcome to make a purchase, of course.
Oh, thank you for the prompt reply :) I think I will be purchasing at flightattendantshop.

If you include the wheels and top handle the total length of the 21" Spinner is 23".

is there also a j hook on it?
No, the Spinner does not have an attachment feature.
