Besides that keep in mind that on many European flights you have a weight limit of 8kg or LESS (but can check one bag free). Still, if you insist on carrying on, a bag that weighs 5kg there is not much more than 3kg (6.6lb) left for actually packed goods.

Great bag for US travel (I have four B&R bags), but problematic for Europe per the post above.
