Notes from our data check
travelpro.com no longer lists a Tourlite carry-on (only the Tourlite underseat bag), so there is no brand figure. Dealer Traveling Bags: "Packable Size: 21 x 14 x 9 | Case Size: 23 x 14.5 x 9 | Linear: 46.5 | Capacity: 3001 cu. in. / 46 L | Weight: 5.7 lbs". The 23 x 14.5 x 9 in is stored because its 46.5 in linear total marks it as the outer size, but the label 'Case Size' is ambiguous and the dealer does not say wheels and handles are included, so includesWheelsHandles is null. Amazon B07HGGV482 (Travelpro listing, model TP8008S6101) gives only "Case Packing Dimensions: 20.75 x 13.75 x 8.75" (body) and 5.7 lb, 46 L. Expands about 2 in. Price: Amazon $160 (no list price shown), Altman Luggage $160 (page title says 22"), Traveling Bags regular $184.99. Over 22 x 14 x 9 on height and width. Derived values: cm converted from the published inches (x2.54, 1 dp); kg converted from the published lb.
