I bought this for my darling for Christmas. He has been on 2 trips, I haven't seen him or the luggage since. He skyped me with a pic of it. Yes, it's perfect. Yes, the backpack stows under the seat and the other bit in the overhead compartment. He put his laptop, electronic devices etc in the easy compartment for Customs. He also fitted  clothes: jacket, pants cosmetics-the manly kind etc. I hope he'll be back for Valentines Day...I miss that wheeled backpack.
