Atlantic earns positive reviews for durable, lightweight hardside carry-ons that roll smoothly, expand meaningfully, and stand out in vibrant colors, indicating the brand is good and works well for frequent travel. Reviews also flag drawbacks: a flimsy-feeling telescoping handle, occasional zipper issues, shallow compartments for some packers, and the frequent omission of a side handle that complicates lifting into overhead bins.

  • Love my carryon expandable hard side spinner and get so many compliments on it whenever I travel. It has held up super well on lots of plane, car and boat trips. The expandable feature makes a huge difference!! Will buy another one soon!

  • good quality and holds up well! the main issue I have with the carry on is that there isn’t a handle on the side of the bag which makes it harder to handle when traveling, especially when loading in an overhead compartment. otherwise great and fits a lot!

  • I'll report back once I travel with it, so these are just my observations upon receiving it. First, the color vibrancy is SO fun. After trying to find my navy or black suitcase amidst a sea of other dark suitcases, this will be so much easier to spot and keep track of. The lock worked well, the wheels are good, and the inside of the suitcase is pretty standard. There don't seem to be a ton of bells and whistles such as unique compartments, but I've found those can often detract from the valuable space of a carry-on. The shell seems sturdy enough- much more so than a cheap suitcase I recently purchased. Like I said, I'll definitely report back after travel (especially if I end up checking it).

  • I already love this suitcase. I am seriously so happy with it: the color (coral) is bright, I can tell it's high quality. It's the perfect size, especially when you expand it, and the waterproof compartment in the middle is such a good idea. The lock was easy to set, and the wheels are great. It also came super quickly, which impressed me.

  • For the price, this is an awesome carry-on piece. I bought a slightly cheaper carry-on spinner from Amazon and it's not nearly as well put together as this one is. It's spacious and has a nice zip flap to keep the sides separate. The telescoping handle works nicely and the spinner wheels are super smooth. I did purchase this on a Thingdrop but I think I would easily buy another at the usual price point. Got the yellow and am absolutely happy with it. Can't wait for my next trip to take this guy along.

  • I got this during the thingdrop to upgrade my carryon luggage. I just took my first trip with it and I am in love! The wheels are work smoothly and turns nicely. The handle feels sturdy and isn’t wobbly like my last suitcase. I fit my stuff great for a 2 day trip, even with heavier clothing since I packed winter clothes. I got the coral orange color and it’s just so pretty and vibrant, I am very happy with my purchase. I was able to use it as carry-on for my American Airlines and United airline flights just fine

  • First, receiving luggage in the mail can feel wasteful or overwhelming. I was pleased at the eco-friendly and smart packaging Atlantic uses to deliver to your door. I used this for a 3-day weekend trip and found it to be spacious, easy to maneuver and sturdy for both the overhead bin and when I gate-checked my bag. The colors are bright and the lock is easy to use. I wish there was a side handle to make it easier to lift!

  • I love this little luggage. I’ve never owned a hard side carryon as I like the pockets that the soft ones offer… Pros: I chose white and it is very pretty. Looks premium, and is more off white in color than (stark white, which I was scared of lol). It has a tsa lock (hope it holds up, as everything about this luggage is lightweight). The handle is kind of rubberized on the bottom (part you grip with your hand) making it easier to handle. There is a waterproof pocket on the inside. The lining is cute, and the luggage expands a few inches. The spinner wheels are amazing, very smooth. The only thing that may possibly be a CON is the aluminum handle. It is so lightweight (kind of flimsy). I travel a lot and am a vicious packer haha so I hope that it is lasting.

  • Love it! I purchased the teal carry on at a discounted price. It arrived in 5 days. I traveled the next day with it and it was perfect. It slid down the aisle of the plane with ease. I had no difficulty with the weight as I lifted it to the overhead compartment. After my first airport experience with it, I bought a slightly larger one in coral for my daughter at full price. Super happy with my purchase!

  • First of all, not only did the suitcase ship quickly but their customer service kept me very informed about my order via email. When the suitcase arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice it was. The color is very nice, and also not common so it should be easy to spot on the luggage carousel. The suitcase is lightweight , even though it’s hard sided, and “glides” very nicely. It also has a combination lock on the side (you can see it in the first photo) and although I will probably never use it I’m sure there are many people who would appreciate it. I have not used it yet since I just received it 3 days ago, but I am looking forward to my next trip so I can check out my new suitcase.

  • I found the Atlantic suitcase through ThingTesting and was very excited about the recycled materials. I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the suitcase after a year of use. It has made it through multiple countries, cobblestone streets, and getting lost at an airport, without falling apart!

  • Such high quality, and love the colors (got yellow, of course). I can see this lasting for years.

  • Impressed with this luggage, but not in love. The colors are fun, the expanding zipper is a nice touch, and I do like the interior pockets for organization. The zipper isn't super durable. I don't pack much, and I had it split open in a couple spots. It wasn't ruined, but something to know ahead of time!

  • I really quite love this suitcase! I had been thinking about upgrading from an Away Bag but couldnt get myself to commit to the uber expensive alternatives. The White Atlantic carry on is sleek, rolls REALLY nicely, honestly is perfectly sized for a few days... I think the best way to describe it is smooth! I love the texture and feel of the handles and the way the roller handle lifts and lowers. It has a nice look to the bag without being the same thing that everyone else has, but is truly excellent quality. I didn't want a crazy color since I use for work, so I do wish that there were some more demure colors. I have not checked the white yet which is a true test to durability and cleaning ability - but so far so good. One negative I would say is that the cary on does not have a side handle, which can be annoying for overhead/side storage and getting in and out of ubers - but not a deal breaker for me. Especially because its not too big, it doesnt get that heavy.

  • Haven't yet had a chance to travel with it, but on first impression it seems super high quality. My current carry-on suitcase barely lasted a year, so this is a welcome upgrade. The plastic is thick and sturdy and the zipper pulls are high-quality metal with an in-built combination lock for security. I also appreciate the extra support structures on the wheels and handle (my previous suitcase didn't have these and they pulled out of the plastic face). Colors are super cute and vibrant. Looking forward to using this for travel.

  • Bought this with the thing drop because I did not have a hard cover carry on and was honestly glad I snagged it on sale. It is durable, love the bright yellow color, does roll nicely, and have nice size compartments. Appreciate the waterproof pocket and the expandable does make it pretty large. At the thing drop price, it feels like a good deal but really akin to most carry on's you find at TJ Maxx for $70-80. Maybe if they have a Black Friday sale worth a shot!

  • I did not want to write a review until I took a trip and had a real chance to use it. I really like the luggage it was very roomy and easy to roll around. My biggest issue with the luggage was there was no side handle. So as i tried to lift it to put it in the over head compartment it was hard to get leverage to lift it.

  • I got this as part of the thing testing drop. Not sure what I was expecting color wise but let me tell you it is bright and vibrant! It should not get confused with many other carry ons ever! I have yet to travel since getting this suitcase so I can’t attest to the quality with travel but being my first hard suitcase ever and my first carry on with four wheels I can’t wait to take it for a spin. Literally! I have a hard time spending money on luggage because I don’t fly often and honestly don’t think I would have paid full price for it ever but at the price I purchased it at I am glad I did.

  • A great carry on suitcase, super bright color which is great for easy identification. I haven’t checked this bag yet so not sure how it’ll hold up since it is very lightweight but seems to hold a decent amount of items although depending on the person the compartments are a little too shallow to easily pack some shoes
