Checked Luggage

Most Australian airlines allow a checked bag up to 158 cm in total (length plus width plus height) and 23 kg before oversize or overweight fees apply. Both the Aviator Grand and the Aviator Trunk are designed as checked luggage for major carriers, though exact allowances vary. Confirm with your airline and check the Aviator size guide before you fly.

The Aviator Grand holds 87.5L, about a week or two of clothing with room to spare. The Aviator Trunk holds 99.8L, enough for extended trips, a season abroad or a family's packing. A compression board and two interior pockets keep it organised on the way out and back.

The Aviator Trunk weighs 5.5 kg (12.1 lb) empty, which leaves plenty of the typical 23 kg airline allowance for what you pack. The Aviator Grand's empty weight is 5 kg. Aluminium-reinforced corners add strength to both without the bulk of heavier hardside luggage.

Yes. The exterior is 70% recycled polycarbonate from certified post-consumer waste, built to flex under impact and return to shape rather than crack. Aluminium-reinforced corners hold their form through repeated checked-bag handling, and the Japanese-made Hinomoto Silent Glide 360 spinner wheels are replaceable if they ever wear.

For international and long-haul trips, the Aviator Trunk is our largest suitcase at 99.8L, made for multi-week itineraries and seasons abroad. The Aviator Grand at 87.5L covers a week or two. Both check on most major airlines, though international carriers can enforce stricter weight limits, so weigh your bag before you fly.

Check a bag when you're packing for more than a few days or carrying more than the cabin allows, which is where the Aviator Grand and Trunk earn their place. For shorter trips, the Aviator Carry-On stays with you in the overhead locker. It nests inside the checked sizes for easy storage between trips.
