I carried it to FRA. It fit in the S-80 overhead bin no problem. Rolled it around Frankfurt, the airport, up and down the S-Bahn, and the smaller size definitely made it easier to handle than my regular Victorinox. I checked it on the way back and that wasn't a problem either. The included cover is nice and thick. It loops over the front feets and has buckles that clips together in the back. The only metal bit that is exposed is the bottom deck but since the whees and legs give it a good 1" clearance it is not going to be easy to scratch that.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, especially since that I got it for a ~30% discount off of MSRP. The MSRP is pretty steep but the discount (and the newly-introduced lifetime warranty made it a much better buy, IMHO. ^
Thay also make a matching laptop/business backpack:

Sadly it isn't TSA friendly though
