Important Notes
To qualify for the 1-year Trusted Companion Promise, which covers airline damage repairs and shipping costs, registration must be completed within one year of purchase. Please visit Travelpro’s official website to complete the process. The Limited Lifetime Coverage applies to manufacturing defects but does not cover normal wear and tear resulting from everyday use. Always measure your suitcase including wheels and handles before checking airline carry-on size restrictions, as overall dimensions may affect gate-check requirements. When using the expandable feature, distribute weight evenly to preserve the suitcase’s structural stability and wheel alignment.
