A couple of luggage deals I can vouch for based on personal experience flying on the GW Pass... TAKEOFF The TAKEOFF hard-sided rollaboard suitcase is built to exactly match Spirit and Frontier's 18x14x8 maximum personal item size with its unique removable wheels stashed in a jacket pocket before joining the boarding line. I don't think it's physically possible to build a personal item of a greater volume that is always going to fit in the personal item sizer. It also has the advantage of not looking like a personal item, so popping into an overhead bin hasn't ever been questioned. I use mine regularly and have seen them in the boarding lines from time to time. Not the strongest build, that's not a big concern because I don't intend to ever check it. 20% off ($95 sale price) at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCPZL9NF 2. TravelPro TravelPro is a high-end luggage maker. Tough and made to last. They got their start creating bags for flight crews, and still serve that market. I love mine, a lucky find at a second hand store. Many of their carry-ons cost more than $200. Currently, the two-wheel version of a "starter", low feature carry-on is half price at $85, or $109 with shipping and tax to my city. Or you can toss in a $20 leather luggage card or organizer bag, That will get the purchase price above $100 so the shipping charge will be waived. Total cost of $113 delivered.
I like the idea of the Take Off personal item! Thanks for mentioning it. Here is the link for anyone else that is curios: https://www.amazon.com/Take-OFF-Luggage-Personal-Removable/dp/B0C7HPB26S?th=1
I saw this one Take OFF Luggage 18 inch Hardshell Carry On Suitcase that Converts into Underseater Luggage with Removable Spinner Wheels for Airline Personal Item Use Requirements, 18 x 14 x 8 that I am considering getting. Looks like it maximizes the personal item allotment. If I do end up getting it, I would want to do an airport dry run just to slip into the sizer and take a picture. EDIT: NOTE: Expandable Version does not fit Frontier Airlines. I also expandable version on Amazon. Best to buy direct from seller. Take OFF Luggage Profile and Links | linkpop.com I just ordered mine for $110 with free shipping and will post video once I get it. Here is a referral code. Supposedly for 10% off. https://loox.io/z/3VwRFTXTg
