Worked great for our trip to San Francisco...from Ohio. I saw a few reviews about the handle not holding up but we had zero issues. The carry on was packed full and we strapped the handbag on top when rolling it around which put a lot of stress on the handle. Still no problems, perfect size for airplane carry on, four flights all fit in the overhead.

Update: July 2013 - After eight flights and a couple road trips these bags are both still in perfect condition, great buy.
