The reason I ordered this bag....... are price and the size.  During my 21 hours flight to visit my family 2 months ago, I travelled alone,  got to go rest room every 3 hours, then I carried all my money/passport/credit cards with me, I used quite big hand bag (since the economy class won't let you carry too many handbags).  It was very inconvenience to carry big hand bag and walked through the tight space, so I believe next trip I should be OK with this hip bag.
