Needed a carry on with specific dimensions, as airlines cannot agree on a standard carry on size (for some perverse unknown reason). Of course, those sitting in our closets were an inch to tall and a half inch too deep. I'll spare you the diatribe.  After MUCH searching I found the Travel Crew 11 met the required criteria. The best and most important information was that it FITS!  For that it gets 5 stars.

The two outer pockets are ok...I'm glad they are there, but the outermost small pocket is not very deep. It also is a very tight squeeze if you are trying to put a decent size paperback book inside. It was ok for the bag of allowed liquids that I wanted quick access to retrieve for the scanner as well as the passport and ticket.  The next pocket is the full length of the bag, but the zipper only extends 5-6 inches along the sides meaning that that the pocket opens on an angle with limited access. There is a padded slit within that for laptops, digital readers, etc., which is great...getting the
device in and out however, not so much.

The bag is small. That can be a good thing and what I needed. But it is also tricky when trying to wheel it down an airplane's ever-so-wide aisle when your seat assignment is halfway to the next taxi lane. Do be aware that there are only two wheels. Two wheels means you can park the bag and not have it take off on it's own, but four fully articulated wheels would improve maneuverability. As I was not able to find a small bag with four wheels, this became THE BAG.

The Travelpro Crew 11 got good ratings from others and all in all, I would have to say it's a good bag. I was relieved to have found it, and can see it's usefulness, especially as a weekend bag or an overnight business trip.
