Is there such a thing? I've had a suitcase as large as 26" in my Z. This is too big to fit in an overhead bin, but not the largest out there. I'm sure larger ones will fit. You may have to turn it sideways and push it to the front of the hatch area.

Is your friend flying into Dulles or Reagan? Used to be my stomping ground. Grew up in Vienna/Falls Church area and used the Beltway as my personal race track.

If your friend is a woman (although increasingly difficult to tell the difference between men and women) and has been on a cruise for 6 months, you may need a pickup truck. If it was not stored overhead, and you don't know the size, why take the chance. Probably will fit, but what if it doesn't? Best

This thread is an excellent opportunity to ask this question.

Will the Corvette luggage option pieces all fit in the trunk of a convertible?

Pull the security shades out I put in full size and next size down with wheels toward driver and passenger. I also put in overnite bag and shoe bag. And toss pillows on top just saying you gotta know how to pack.

There is a lot of room under the hatch glass. Not so much under the plastic portions of the hatch.
