Customer Reviews Tumi Voyageur Cleary Weekender

This is the best carry-on from Tumi that I own. I have two others. It is roomy, easy to carry, fits under the airplane seat on the aisle which is a smaller space. I have two computers go in it. It still has room for overnight stuff just in case m checked bag does not arrive with me.

I had been keeping my eye on this bag forever and got it during thanksgiving. The bag is functional and delivers on all its features. I do wish the color was more fun and bright. The only reason I ended up returning the bag was that I needed my laptop to fit in it. On its own the laptop fit but with its case on it did not fit in the bag and I had to unzip the bottom shoe compartment to make room for the laptop. This led to my bag being really frumpy and off balance because if you don’t have a strong foundation on the bottom of the bag with your shoes or makeup bag your entire bag will collapse and that was not a good look for me. I realized I like semi-structure and this bag has to be extremely strategically used in order to enjoy it and access it during travel. this is why I gave it 3 stars.

I thought this was supposed to work as my "personal item" as it would go under the seat when flying. Well, the airline took one look at the bag's size and insisted it was too large to be considered a personal item. They made me check my roller bag which was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I did test this to see if it would fit under the seat- it did (barely)- but it's so large there is nowhere to stretch one's feet. Not great on a long haul flight. It's beautifully well made, but I'm so disappointed with the size issues.
