Luggage with retractable wheels is described, specifically pivoting caster wheels. A telescopic handle is provided on the luggage bag which actuates the retractable wheels using a unique linear mechanism. Pushing the telescopic handle down to the stowed position allows the wheels to retract inside the bag, making the bag easier to stow in the restricted storage space available in the passenger cabin of a commercial aircraft Pulling the telescopic handle out into an extended configuration allows the wheels to deploy into an operable position.
