I bought this bag in Jan 2013 to use for trips where we would need to check our larger bags and I still needed to carry on board a few items. I like that its one large compartment inside and has zippered pockets outside. It has a secure strap in the back so you can slide it onto the handle of a taller / bigger bag when we have all our luggage with us.  It's light enough for me to hold via the handles but also convent to have it roll for long walks in the airports etc.  I just wish it was a better color.  I can easily fit my IPad and magazines and quart-size toiletries bag and Bose headsets and snacks and a camera and pashmina and still have room.
