Just used this on my first trip cross country.  On the way from CA to PA, I used it as a carry-on.  It fit nicely into the overhead and I didn't get any slack from the TSA regarding its size (it is the largest size for a carry-on).  On the way back, I checked the bag because I had more stuff and had to expand it.  It made it through the hands of the TSA without any tears, rips, etc.  I probably could have gotten away with not checking it, but I didn't feel like trying to shove it into the overhead bin.

I was amazed at the amount of stuff I could get into it.  I packed for a week with no problems.  I like that it is significantly lighter than most of the other luggage pieces I looked at.  This helps when you are trying to get it into the overhead on the plane.  The wheels are sturdy and it was very balanced when I was lugging it through the airport.

The one thing I was concerned about was that the pull-out handle seems a bit wobbly.  I went to a department store that sold this piece and talked to the sales person who knew a lot about luggage.  He said that it is typical for it to be a bit wobbly.  He showed me some other higher-end pieces that were the same and suggested I register the suitcase at TravelPro since they have a life-time warranty.  He said they do this so it is easier to pull out the handle.  From his experience (10 years in the luggage department), TravelPro has served its customers well and constructs quality luggage.  Just a note, this same suitcase was significantly higher priced at the department store.

In all, I would recommend this product if you are looking for a nice-looking, quality carry-on piece of luggage.
