"When I'm traveling, this bag is large enough, and has enough pockets, to carry a couple of books, my pills, my computer and my ticket, so I can leave the basic stuff in my checked luggage."
"Large enough for so many items but small enough for under airplane seats. I packed a pair of shoes, change of clothes, laptop, phone, kindle various cords, and other miscellaneous must haves for travel!"
"My husband I both bought the tote to add some additional packing space when traveling solely with carry-ons. This tote adds a significant amount of packing space, fits under the seat, is incredibly lightweight, and is small enough it doesn’t cause the bag to tip even when the tote is full. There are no dividers inside but packing cubes keep things organized. Excellent addition to our travel kit."
"Nice size bag to hold extras that won't fit in overhead bag and for easy access to things on the flight. Looks well made and easy to hang on a suitcase."
"It was perfect--just right for under the seat, just enough pockets, looks to be very durable and the right size for what I need it for. I've been looking for one just like this for ages so thank you for creating it."
"Four flights and only 1 flight did it fit under seat. No water bottle holder. When bag is filled, it made the bigger rolling bag front heavy and subject to tipping over. I did not like this bag AT ALL."
"This is my second Travelpro tote. I had the last one for over 15 years. This new design has a great shape and offers a large side zip pocket."
"Love this travel bag. It is the perfect size for a carry on at airport, or just a short trip. Great colors, you will not be sorry if you purchase it."
"Not your typical personal item to carry on! It’s surprisingly roomy for its size, lightweight, and compliments my roller bag well. I ordered the midnight blue. It’s definitely darker than the dark blue I already had but it’s pretty and the material is sturdy."
"It looks like it's high quality, and it's very lightweight. I plan to use it on my next trip."
