Perfect for Spirit Airlines
This is a fantastic little bag!
After exhaustively searching for bags that would meet Spirit Airlines' strict baggage guidelines (for bringing on a carry on that won't cost you any baggage fees) because I was flying to Houston to visit family for a weekend. I finally happened upon this bag. I was looking at the American Tourister (from WalM**t, sorry Amazon), but as it turned out shipping was going to take too long from WalM**t. So then I searched again and this came up on Co*tco's site. Of course, I then searched Amazon because, as a Prime member, I knew I could get it fast.
Anyway, this bag is more than satisfactory, it's outstanding! It feels like it's very well-made and durable. You won't be worrying that you bought a piece of junk just to use on Spirit. Instead, you'll feel like you've gained a great little piece of luggage that you'll be happy to use anytime!
What I love about it:
1. The handle! I'm 6-foot tall and the hand had plenty of extension. It even could have extended one more time, but I didn't even need it. And the handle extends and retracts smoothly. Again, this is no piece of junk!
2. All the exterior pockets. Wow! PLENTY of spots to jam boarding passes, gum, etc. Plus two side pockets for other stuff (like dirty underwear, ew!).
3. The interior compartment. It has a nice dividing flap that has a zippered compartment. I chose to stow my toiletries here.
4. The space. Being slightly rectangle and side-loading (instead of from the top, like the more expensive Victorinox option in this size) I was able to easily pack everything I needed. Here's what I packed (to the best of my memory): 2 pairs of shoes (including one pair of clunky dress shoes), one pair of jeans, 2 dress shirts, 2 polo shirts, 2 t-shirts, one pair of gym shorts, one flat iron, one brush, various toiletries. Granted I know how to fold my clothes like a big boy, but you shouldn't have any problems either! There was PLENTY of room to pack for a long weekend.
What I didn't like about it:
1. NOTHING! :) :)
Anyway, long story short, if you're looking for a small bag to use on Spirit, or just in general, don't hesitate to buy this little gem. You won't be disappointed!
