I travel extensively, at least one return airplane trip per week. I always carry on a bag. I have purchased Tumi, Delsey and this is my first Travelpro. The Delsey fits the best on the plane since the top of the bag is tapered and it the 22 inch fits nicely even in the first class bin. However its wheels wore out quickly and after buying two in three years I decided to change and bought this Travelpro. It is better built then my Delsey. The wheels which are a key component to me, have bearings and are solid rubber. They are also changeable by the user and the parts are available online. I feel there are three problems with this bag. First, it is about 1/2 a inch too long. It is a very tight fit in the economy bins. If you expand it or fill the outside pocket, it becomes very difficult to fit in in the bin. Even empty you will have to push hard on the door of the bin to close it. The next issue is the extra bag attachment. I use that all the time. On this bag it is a push button rather than a clip. The strap length changes constantly so you have to fiddle with it every time you attach your bag and I am doubtful that the push button release will last very long. Lastly, there is no small top facing pouch on the outside for your toiletry bag. Many airports still make you remove this and the only choices on this bag are the document pouch (too small) or the large outer pouch which goes all the way to the bottom (too big)
I will keep searching for the perfect road warrior bag, but so far I haven't found it.
