The Aviator fits in overhead compartments while maximizing packing space with a thoughtfully designed interior. Whether you’re traveling for business or a weekend getaway, this Paravel carry on luggage keeps your belongings secure and organized from gate to destination.

Recycled Materials & Hardshell Construction
We manufacture the Aviator shell from 100% recycled polycarbonate sourced from post-consumer water bottles. This material delivers the impact resistance you expect from premium hardshell luggage while diverting plastic from landfills.
The polycarbonate exterior features a textured finish that conceals minor scratches and scuffs from baggage handlers and tight overhead compartments. Unlike soft-sided bags, the rigid shell protects fragile items like electronics and glassware throughout your journey.
Dimensions & Airline Compatibility
The Aviator measures exactly 22 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches deep—dimensions that comply with most major U.S. airline carry-on restrictions. This sizing works for Delta, United, American, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines overhead bins.
We designed the interior to hold 38 liters of packing space, enough for 3-5 days of clothing and essentials for most travelers. The main compartment opens flat with compression straps on both sides to secure contents and minimize shifting during transit.
Wheels, Handle & Maneuverability
Four Japanese-engineered spinner wheels rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to push or pull the Aviator in any direction without tilting. The wide wheel base provides stability when rolling across uneven airport terminals or cobblestone streets.
The telescoping aluminum handle extends to three height positions: 38, 40.5, and 42.5 inches from the ground. We designed these increments to accommodate travelers of varying heights comfortably. The handle locks securely at each position and retracts flush with the shell when not in use.

The warranty does not cover damage from airline handling, normal wear and tear, or misuse. If your bag is damaged by an airline, we have a separate damage claim process. Contact our customer service within 30 days of discovering any defect for evaluation.
