Great choice for international travel.  Not everyone reads the fine print on luggage sizes.  Most international airlines, or airlines outside the continental US have smaller carry-on limits.  Carry-ons made for US airlines will NOT fit for airlines such as Icelandair etc.  This one is as big as I could find, that was still little enough.  I specifically did not want 360 degree wheels since they eat up length that you lose in luggage space. I don't like hard sided luggage. But some international luggage is totally collapsible but that doesn't wear well. This was exactly what I wanted.
