Great all-around carry-on
Let me start off by saying that I am in no way a frequent flyer. I had a recent 7-day international trip to Colombia, South America over Thanksgiving and started researching luggage 2 weeks before my trip. A lot has changed since the last time I flew; the most significant change being the checked baggage charges for domestic flights. Seeing as I also had a domestic trip planned for Christmas, I decided on a roll-a-board (a term actually coined by TravelPro) as my sole piece of luggage. The majority of my research was on frequent flyer websites which turned me onto this model. The main benefit over the 22" version is the 20" version has the front pocket organizer (really useful) and has less chance of being checked due to size constraints at the gate or security. With this 20" version, I had no trouble with any gate or security agents asking me to measure it in the mock metal overhead bin displays. I flew out of Miami International (MIA) and into Cali International (CLO).I...

Better choice than 22"
Handsome, well-thought-out design. I owe a debt of gratitude to a reviewer under the similar 22" model who lamented that her 22" had no organizer pockets for cell phone, wallet, sunglasses, etc. This bag has the organizer, and it's great. Also, please note that with wheels and handle, this 20" model actually stands about 22" high overall when measured from the floor to the top of the handle. I'm really glad I chose this size so that I can be sure I'm not that person whose bag doesn't fit the space-saving way in the overhead.

I would give the Travelpro Crew more stars if allowed
I travel a LOT. I travel on small express jets. I travel on Airbuses. I travel on 777s. Short flights, long flights, international flights ... you name it. My last suitcase lasted a long and abused life, but finally fell apart and I researched the "right combination of space and size" for along time before taking a chance on the Travelpro Crew 8.As a frequent traveler, I learned long ago: NEVER check luggage. Never mind that you get charged for it these days; you're bound to have lost luggage at some point if you check bags. End of story. Never mind the "you cant change your flight because your bags are already on the plane, even though that particular plane has been on maintenance hold for ten hours already" scenario, which is inevitable as well.So, you need a suitcase that's small (fits in an overhead), lightweight, and has good volume (for its size). The Travelpro Crew 8 20" (which I bought) has another nice feature for me, which is a business-folio...
