I travel roughly once a week. This has become my go-to bag. Its lightweight but spacious for its size (it is international size, so its smaller than typical carry-on bags in the US). Ive traveled extensively domestically and internationally with it - I was forced to check it in India (Indian airlines are very strict) but it held up well. My only complaint is that the handle is very wide at the top - I cant fit most laptop bags or backpacks with the luggage sleeve over the handle without some serious maneuvering, so Ive mostly given up trying.
