Flying newbie question - Is this a good carry on bag?

[kaffinito]

I'm shopping for a carry on bag that I can fit a bunch of stuff into so I don't have to check a bag. AirTran has a 24" limit for carry ons, but I thought I'd just get a 21" inch.

Does anyone have this bag?

Or can anyone recommend a good wheeled 21" or 24" carry on bag?

Thanks for any help yoyu can give me - I'm so used to driving down that I don't have much in the way of luggage.

Looks good! The only thing I would be worried about is if it is very packable or not. Meaning can you make it fit into small places in the carryon section or have it below the seat in front of you. Sometimes they need to check in you carry on because they don't have enough room.

Well, it's duffle so would that make it packable? I honestly don't know. Could you please recommend a packable bag?

My Sister has a bag that is almost exactly like this. She has used it on multiple trips and loves it. She bought hers at a "Big Lots" store for about $30, so if you have one of those stores in your area, you may want to check there before you buy this one through Amazon.
