The bag just survived a round trip to Ireland. It went under the seat in front of me of the plane (Boeing 752) with no problem (just don't over pack it). It held a sweater (needed for long flights), camera, audio recorder, power adapters, wall-warts, two phones, my Samsung Galaxy, extra cables, maps, passport, a thick pack of documents, and my three prescription bottles with room to spare and it still fit under the seat. I had my valuables in front of me at all times (placing things in a overhead and out of my vision is unacceptable). I wanted an under seat bag and this really did the trick. The zip-able pocket on the side is great for having you passport, luggage stub and boarding pass at hand because it seems to be requested by every human of the face of the earth. Add the customs/immigration forms to the easy to reach column. May as well have these documents in a secure and convenient spot. I chose the bright orange color because I wanted it to be easy to spot after going through the x-ray tunnels. If someone unauthorized tried to grab it, I can spot them quickly. The end pockets have ample room for other small items and the strap is convenient. Of course this is great for auto, bus and train travel when you want the necessities accessible. For those of you not addicted to wires and devices, the space is ample for an extra change of light clothing but this will vary depending on the traveler. I kept it on my lap riding ground transportation (again, I want it in near me) and it was light and comfortable on my lap. The price is inexpensive, size and functionality fit the bill.
