I was looking for a small carry on for flying and decided to buy this bag. I have had great luck with Ricardo luggage and was not disappointed. It easily fit in the overhead compartments (wheels first) of all the planes (big and small) during my trip. The wheels seemed a bit long for the size of the case, but they roll 360 degrees for easy mobility. It's a small piece of luggage, but it does expand and I was able to pack enough items to wear for one week. There is also a pocket in the front big enough to fit a laptop.
