"After testing other options from TravelPro (including the "Platinum Magna 2 Check Point Friendly Laptop Backpack", "Platinum Magna 2 Slim Business Brief Bag", and "Crew Executive Choice 2 Pilot Brief Bag"), this Tote is an easy choice for anyone wanting to maximize both easy-of-use and volume while avoiding checked luggage. Its stand-out feature is large main compartment which lets you decide how to pack rather than being constrained by (and losing space to the linings of) other compartmentalized designs. There's so much room that I can include my 13" laptop in its thin messenger bag (which I take to client meetings) along with light outerwear (for cold flights), a few books, and still have room for any other small on-the-road necessities for a given trip. Has a firmly-stitched belt on the back to wrap over telescopic handles of rolling luggage and looks great with the Crew 11 Spinner or Rollaboard. Plus, in addition to a front pocket (for tickets, etc), it also has a side pocket designed to lightly secure a water bottle or compact umbrella. While other luggage is great for destination use, this Tote makes for a luxurious experience while riding, walking, sitting, and flying during the trip itself -- letting you bring a slimline business briefcase (easily accessible inside the Tote) while maximizing the space allowed by airlines for your "personal item.""

"I purchased Travelpro luggage several years ago and it was important to me to have a piece such as this match. I wanted something that would fit under the seat, could attach on top of my roller bag, and hold 1-2 nights of travel needs. This so far has met those needs although I haven't used it yet but plan to soon, especially for international travel. The only thing I wish it had was a velcro attachment so double straps could become one when carrying without the shoulder strap. It could possibly use a few more organizational areas inside but overall I'm very impressed. Also a water bottle holder on the outside would be nice but there is a zipper compartment that perhaps that is for but not too sure. Will give it a try and see. " Show More

"I love this bag. Most of my trips are 1-2 nights but I can go up to 3. It fits under the seat in any airplane but 99.9% I easily place it in an overhead even on small aircraft." Show More

"Perfect size for under the seat with ample room for just about everything. Convenient carrying strap prevents fatigue." Show More

"My bag has been many places already and looks the same as when I took it out of the box. I just wish it had a better compartment for a water bottle." Show More

"It is a nice bag, just too small for anything I need it for. " Show More

"The bag is exactly what I want in an underseat/boarding bag, but mine arrived defective. The top zipper is supposed to lock together with holes in the pulls that let you put a lock shackle through them. But mine was made with one regular pull and one locking pull, so they can't be locked together. I definitely need to lock it, since I'll be riding the Athens Metro, which is famous for its pickpockets and thieves. It's frustrating to see such poor quality control on an expensive, high end bag like this. Otherwise it would work just fine. " Show More
