comment
" ...  It is very light, even fully packed, so it's easy to put up into the overhead bin. ... It's sized perfectly to slide right in without having to maneuver around the bin. ... One larger one that would fit a laptop, but I used it for shirts since I also carry a separate laptop bag. ... Interior pockets are also good with a small compartment for belts, socks, etc. ... The bag is nicely balanced, even when I add my laptop bag on top of it. ... Overall, a great bag.  ...  "

" ...  I travel for work and am away from home for 2+ weeks at a time, so I needed a bag large enough but light enough to handle everything I need to bring with me. ... This bag has been ideal. ... Be careful that you don't pack over 50 lbs, it's VERY easy to do with the 29" bag!  ...  "
