Well our luggage got lost on the way from Amazon to our house, imagine that!  For those of you that have read about the blue one not fitting the guidelines our measurements including the wheels, handles and empty outside pockets are 21 x 13.75 x 9. I spent many hours on Amazon and local retailers measuring because what the company says is different from the airline requirements.  Although we mostly fly a more lenient Southwest, where we could always check them, I wanted the flexibility of flying other airlines without the baggage fee. This definitely fits the bill. Some airlines like WOW are really strict and you do not even want to be 1/4 in over. I don't need the stress. Quality seems good, the luggage handle has a sturdy feel and it rolls well but then I haven't taken it any place. It is light and if you pack right and don't need several outfits a day, this should work well for you. I plan on taking it to Europe for 2-3 weeks. I am pleased with my purchase.
