I haven't traveled with this bag yet (it just arrived today), but I've traveled with enough other bags internationally to know what I really want. This bag has it all! My 17" MacBook Pro fits into the laptop compartment without a hitch. The multitude of pockets are accessible and visually friendly with mesh screens that allow me to quickly see their contents. The exterior and layered pockets let me get at necessities quickly without digging through the whole bag...and I like the easy access large center space where I can organize more bulky items (headphones, book, sweater - and future iPad!) to my taste - unlike the reviewer who thought there should be more file folders (maybe o.k. as an optional add-on, but not for me!).
I wouldn't have minded a large flat pocket on the backside under the velcro luggage handle strap - a place to quickly drop a magazine, map, or itinerary printout - but I doubt I will miss it that much.
Can't wait for my next trip to put this bag to the test - and by the way the price on Amazon was really too good to be true. I have spent hundreds of $$$s on bags looking for the right one - I think this is it.
Some have commented that this is a huge bag. It certainly is not svelte and streamlined, but I need a bag to hold ALL my stuff, not just the laptop. It is reasonably sized for that purpose and won't draw comment at check in. Now that I know I like the bag I've ordered the bungee strap to upgrade it. My next trip through security will be a breeze - and the added touch of not needing to zip up the bag all the way before carrying it away is brilliant. The quality seems excellent - durable and robust - and I see that Tenba is behind Skooba. Tenba makes great camera bags so I imagine this will follow the mold.Get more detail about Skooba R101-101 Checkthrough Checkpoint-Friendly Laptop Bag (Black).
