A roomy interior, quick-access front flap, and multiple pockets keep essentials and electronics organized. Smooth ball-bearing wheels and a rear stacking strap provide hands-free mobility and secure stacking atop larger luggage. Fit-to-Fly tested to fit overhead bins on most major U.S. airlines.

Well Built, Just Not Right For Me This is essentially a small suitcase. I was looking for something to organize different items for myself and then also compartmentalize some things for family members. If I were solo traveling on a 2 to 3 day trip, this thing would be amazing! I only returned it because it didn’t fit my needs and was looking for a little more compartmentalization. It’s of excellent build quality, is rigid, and a very nice “mini suitcase”.
There’s no dedicated padded pocket to hold a laptop. The outer pocket can hold a small tablet, but not a 13″ laptop. You could put a laptop inside, but there’s no pocket or straps to secure it. It will just rattle around with the other items.
Lastly, on newer aircraft, particularly in first class and comfort zones where they are making seats a little differently, this bag did not fit under the seat. Potato rigid- like a suitcase. The under seat space in newer aircraft is smaller. In the main cabin, it actually has potential to fit.
Pros
* Excellent build quality
* Smooth back wheels (only 2, not a 4 wheel spinner)
This small under seat luggage can hold a large amount. Rolls like a dream. Two outer compartments with roomy main. Handle well made. Would definitely purchase again!
Comes with a "surprise" Really good backsaver bag! Zippers are very secure, it’s plenty roomy for a never-travels-light overnight plus, and it has this little secret compartment under the telescopic handle compartment (pull the Velcro strip) which is the perfect stash for my second bag attachment thingy (for a tote bag, rather than having to hold it when zipping around to the gate) when not in use (like, in storage). So far, it’s wonderful.
LOVE THIS BAG I am a long time international traveler. Over the years, I have tried various checked and carry on bags. I am in my late 60’s and have decided that I know longer want to have a heavy back pack. I bought this bag to take to Europe for two weeks as a carry on. I LOVE IT. It rolls well. Has good capacity and is well made. It fit in the overhead on all of my flights with different equipment. It is great to put the stuff I want to have with me on the plane. Also, gave me some extra capacity for anything I would buy. It will also be a great weekend bag. Oh — and it was easy to slide over the pull up handle on my checked bag. Travel Pro is great!
Perfect size This bag is perfect size for a quick trip. I was able to get a weeks worth of clothing including a pair of shoes packed. It is fairly lightweight. The quality is great. I appreciated the exterior pocket. Although it only had two wheels it pulled nicely. I did not try to fit under airline seat but it appears to fit under middle seat. I would highly recommend.
Will buy the next size down but keep this also Pleased with this even though it won’t work for my next trip as when slipped on to the handle of my trunk, the top of this comes too near the handle to make it comfortable to grip the handle. This is not a fault of this bag but something I failed to take into account. The bag would be an ideal companion with my medium suitcase or when used alone for a short trip. The bag is neat, light and well made. Its handle feels firm but slips down a little when brought right to the top. It’s still fine for a shortie like me. The bag’s looks would not let you down anywhere. I haven’t used it yet to see how it would hold up to prolonged use. It would hold plenty for up to four days for me. I really cannot see this fitting under a seat but might be wrong. It would also be too heavy for me to lift into an overhead locker. As I am impressed by the design and workmanship of this bag, I will get the smaller carry-on version which has no wheels. That should set me up for the rest of my travelling life!
Great quality, fits under the seat on an A320 I got this to fit the very strict Lufthansa carry-on requirements (that it seems are not as strictly enforced as I was afraid because practically everyone had larger bags than me), but I was very satisfied with it. Along with a backpack, I was able to pack enough clothes to last me a week. It was very very light (but I did pack light), enough that I could easily carry it with the handle and put it in the overhead bin. It also fit perfectly under my seat on an A320 when all the people with bigger suitcases took up all the overhead bin space 🙂 The quality is obvious. Zippers are perfect, rolls easily. The retractable handle worked perfectly. You will annoy people because it trails behind you a bit but that’s a bonus if you ask me because why are they walking so close anyway? Exactly the same quality as in the bigger TravelPro I bought as part of my flight attendant gear years ago.
