Important Notes
The Samsonite UpLIFT Carry-On is designed to meet standard domestic carry-on size restrictions, but travelers should verify specific airline requirements before departure, as regulations can vary. The 10-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use but does not extend to damage caused by misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear. Care should be taken to avoid overloading beyond recommended capacity, especially when expanded. The removable wet pouch is TSA-compliant for liquids in carry-ons but must still adhere to the 3-1-1 rule during security screening.
