I am just returning from an 8-day trip to Bangkok. We (me and the boss) put all of our clothing in the Sky Train. I was amazed at what bundle packing and the increased packing volume due to no wheels allowed for. We had no checked-in luggage and actually are coming back with still unused clean clothes. We haven't gotten into the habit of washing clothes in hotel sinks yet, although I am very interested and will probably try on future trips. The Sky Train's backpack straps are also very comfortable, at least to me. You can adjust the length of the straps so the pack sits on the right spot and you don't lose your balance or center of gravity. The bag feels very very sturdy and the zippers are nice. I don't fear them accidentally opening and my boarding pass falling out anymore. That in itself is a great load off my mind I also now have free hands so I can carry other carryons like food and such for the boss. I am now officially a functioning mule I sometimes make the braying sounds.

This was my first trip with the bag, but so far, I haven't had any regrets and any pain from paying $263.61 (after shipping) melted away when I found out how much fun and comfort I would now have.
