The Skyway Montage 22" Expandable Vertical Carry-On Case is one of the bags on the market designed to fit the TSA's size requirements for carry-on luggage.
Features and Benefits for the Traveler
The Montage uses Skyway's "Zero Gravity" frame which has some give in it to absorb impacts, helping to protect its contents. This also makes the bag lighter than most in its class coming in at 7lbs 3oz.
Overhead storage is easy as the wheels are tightly tucked into the bag's body and handle fits flush with the body of the case when it’s folded down. However, this limits the bag's turning ability and the handle takes up a considerable amount of space within the interior of the case.
The case's exterior dimensions are 22" x 14" x 8", and can be expanded to add 3" more depth. There are two large external pockets as well, although using either pushes it outside the carry-on size limit for most airlines.
Inside, the Montage has a zippered mesh pocket, two elastic shoe pockets, and tie-down straps for keeping the bulk of the bag's items in place. There is also a clear, removable waterproof bag that meets the TSA's requirements for storing liquids.
Available colors include black, navy, and rust. Average retail price is around $70.
The Skyway Montage 22” carry on comes with a 10-year warranty.
Our Take
The Skyway Montage is a good choice for anyone wanting an affordable, light carry-on bag. Its features make it very useful for its intended purpose: getting your items on and off the plane with as little fuss as possible.
