I purchased this piece of luggage because I realized that all I had were cloth duffle bags from Vera Bradley, and I wanted something a bit more durable for my flight.  I have taken this piece of luggage on three flights, and I absolutely love it!  I especially love the color because it is not standard black so it is easy to spot on the carry-on elevators (when my bag cannot be stowed in the overhead bin on smaller planes).  This luggage fits the requirements for an American Airlines carry-on and stores perfectly in their overhead bins.  If it were any larger, it would not have made it.  There is a wonderful area for hanging garments.  It kept my dresses perfect with minimal wrinkles.  I also appreciate all of the compartments on the inside.  They are great for storing jewelry and all the cords for my electronic devices.  The larger front pocket is perfect for my laptop and cord.  This allowed my journey through the TSA screening to be quick and efficient.  The smaller front pocket is perfect for a book and some snacks.  I also appreciate the water bottle/drink holder that is on the side of the bag.  It was wonderful to have my hands free as I made my way through the busy Atlanta and Dallas airports.  I am so pleased with my purchase.  I will recommend Travelpro to everyone to everyone I know.
