- By Tom from Universal City TX USA on Friday, October 14, 2016
- Pros: Light weight, ergonomic handle, wheels are quiet and replaceable.
- Cons: One big pocket inside should be made into two or three smaller pockets. Lots of outside pockets, but not useful to me, maybe for flight crew they
- Review: I had my previous rollaboard for 20 years so I was used to which pocket I put my stuff in, I have to get used to this one. It is lighter than my old one, but not as many internal pockets. I am very happy with it, no regrets at all.

Excellent Product
- By A Customer from CA USA on Thursday, January 05, 2017
- Pros: Lot of bag for the price
- Cons: 2 way zipper needed on the small upper outer pocket
- Review: Quiet & smooth rollers, heavy duty zippers, steady when upright w bag attached, roomy. Would have liked two zippers on the small upper pocket from opposite directions like previous bags to prevent things from falling out when opening w bag upright; like the extra inner zip bag on that pocket.

Excellent bag
- By A Customer from Cary, NC on Monday, June 04, 2018
- Review: I've had this bag for two years now, travel 12-20 times per year, and it still looks new. I'm back on this site because one of my daughters is starting a traveling job & am buying her one. I cut out and removed the padding in the interior lid pocket because I don't put a laptop in there and liked the extra room. The must-haves this bag includes are 2 (not 4) large wheels, large interior, sturdy handle, briefcase/backpack J Hook, & expandable. Obviously I am buying again so that is the best testament! I also highly recommend the vacuum/squeeze storage bags to pack inside this.

Old product is better than today’s
- By a330boy from Saint Cloud FL USA on Wednesday, May 22, 2019
- Pros: Tough,light, and very long lasting.
- Cons: Zippers are the first things to go.
- Review:
I have used Travelpro roll a boards for decades. As a commuting airline pilot I think that I give a pretty good workout to my bags.
When my most recent suitcase started showing signs of wear I went on the Travelpro website to check out the latest and greatest. I was very disappointed by the fact that they no longer make a roll aboard with a hook to accommodate my second bag!
Thankfully mypilotstore still had a Flightcrew5 in stock. I’m back in business! - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 22 Other people found this review helpful.

Classic for good reason
- By Pam from Houston TX USA on Tuesday, April 05, 2022
- Pros: Two wheels allows for more packing room. Very sturdy zippers. Roomy and numerous side pockets.
- Cons: Looks like a lot of grey bags so check the luggage tag.
- Review: I've loved this bag since the first one I bought 25 years ago! Yes I'm old but this is a great quality bag with enough room for 2 pairs of shoes plus clothes for a week! Fits in the overhead but these days I prefer checking a bag and it holds up to the baggage handlers and machinery. Definitely recommend.

Perfect for my needs

- Pros: lots of pockets

It has been on two trips in four weeks and it is the perfect size!!!
I had another brand (will not say name) I used when I was an FA.

New one is almost as robust as the original but with more bells

- Review:
Travelpro flightcrew5.
This is my second travelpro carry-on suitcase the first one served me for 20 years but it was just time for something new. Not a need but a preference. This new one seems to be a little bit bigger which worries me regarding Airlines that might not accept it. I love the suitcase but agree with Kenneth of Fla, who complaint about the wheels giving out prematurely and the front zipper giving out as well.
One of the wheel bearing is already seizing up and the placement of the zipper on the front makes it a target for every machines and baggage handlers.
The front zippers on my nearly new flightcrew5 already looks trashed though the rest of the bag appears new. I do notice the wheels have changed to the roller skate type. The ones on my original had a solid wheel, covered with thick rubber. When the rubber dried and cracked, it came apart like a semi truck tire on the highway, once it was off completely and about one run down the concourse you were rolling on the solid wheels . With the new wheels you won’t have that inner hub to ride one. you will be carry your bag up the concourse. Some of these concourses and never ending!
Other than those few items I’m very satisfied with both of my suitcases from Travelpro! - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 2 Other people found this review helpful.

OK bag
- By A Customer from Montgomery TX USA on Wednesday, December 14, 2016
- Review: Improved TravelPro from previous versions. The new pockets on the side are useless if you fly the B737. If you use the pockets, they get caught on the side supports where the pilots store our bags. It gets caught every time. I might cut the pockets off. Also wish the top front zipper had double handles like all the others on the bag.

Durable, value, well built
- By A Customer from Delaware on Sunday, October 29, 2017
- Pros: Sturdy materials, great design.
- Cons: Can?t replace wheels (when they eventually wear out)
- Review:
TP is the only brand I will buy. I still have one from 20 yrs ago I still use as my trusty, preferred rollaboard. I really like this new one too, very rugged and I expect to get long service from it.
Only reason I didn't go 5-stars is I will not be able to replace the wheels years from now when they finally fail. This was something I did on my older bag ensuring I could use it for many more years. I suppose TP got clever and included planned obsolescence into this newer model else they'd have customers doing as I have and making a bag last for decades. - Was this review helpful to you?
