Overall, this is a high quality suitcase and would recommend it for the casual traveler. That being said, I am a bit disappointed with the product. I had been using an older 20" samsonite suitcase for years, which never had any problems fitting in the airline overhead. My girlfriend uses one of the new 21" samsonite suitcases has no problems fitting overhead as well. However, for this suitcase, I've taken 3 business trips and have had some significant issues fitting it in the overhead, especially on the smaller Embrair jets. Even on the larger 737s, it is a very snug fit and can be hassle getting in. I travel very frequently, so likely we need to switch to a different model. It sounds odd, but you are better going with the 21" models, which bizarrely fit better
Pros: Easy To Carry, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Too Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Carry-on size for American Airlines.

Very surprised and displeased to learn that my new bag did not pass carry-on size at the gate for my American Airlines flight today. It was 1" too wide, despite being 2" shorter and 1" shallower than allowed. It had to be regularly checked at gate and picked up at baggage claim. I am extremely unhappy. BEWARE
Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, High Quality, Stylish
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this bag, and it would be perfect, except for the size when it's expanded. I was flying back to the States from London, when, as I was checking in my large bag, the British Airlines employee took one look at my carry on and made me check it, too.
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Easy To Identify, Good Capacity, High Quality, Lightweight, Stylish
Cons: Too Large
