Love the handle slip on bag back. I've checked numerous flight bags and Eagle Creek is only line that has this feature. Nice looking bag with lots of room. Goes well with Tarmac black bags.

The adventure of vacation travel is to see how "light" and practical we can pack. In May and June my wife and I went to Europe for a month of independent train travel. I purchased your In-Flight Companion, which paired nicely with my 15-inch Pack-It Folders (plus some other Eagle Creek organizers to hold toiletries and other items.) The In-flight Companion was my sole piece of luggage for the tour and I did not borrow space in my wife's luggage. Light shirts and slacks fit easily in the Pack-It envelope. Socks and underwear went in one of your mesh packing "cubes" and so on. I had room in the end pockets of the carry on for a digital camera, a sweater and a hooded rain jacket. I still had plenty of room inside for medications (I take a few at my age.) That left the large front zipper pocket with its plethora of organizers for a journal, pen, itinerary...and I could have packed more items.
Check-in personnel were impressed that we could travel for so long with so little luggage. I was impressed that I didn't have any argument about carrying the In-Flight Companion on-board, either on regional or on international flights. We also saved time by not having to reclaim baggage.
The In-flight Companion is an impressive piece for its quality of construction and for its wonderfully tactile materials (hand-grip areas, hook-and-loop closures and its ergonomic and well-padded carrying strap. Its compact dimensions worked very well for train travel, for storage overhead on airplanes and for bustling through terminals.
The final test: my wife now wants one of her own! We have a wide range of luggage options to choose from for touring: Rick Steves, Orvis, Samsonite but we will both take the In-flight Companion on our next 30-day trip to Europe.

3 years ago I took this bag as my on-board,personal use,
camera,everything bag to China;with my 44 kilo thinnest
luggage. Worked like a charm. Made some redistribution of items once in China, but always had it with me. Could leave on bus,take camera,book out... same with various airlines!

After researching carry-ons I purchased this one and the 20-inch upright both in amber because of the capacity and look. Wow! I love this set! I packed for a three week trip which included a one week cruise all in these two pieces of luggage. And still came home with souvenir t-shirts! They still look perfect after several trips. I especially like all the compartments. It saves using the packing bags. Check out the capacity and see that a LOT will fit into a small space. Remember there are only two kinds of luggage- carry-on & LOST.
