I’m still looking for a convertible bag with wheels, and although my favourite so far is the Osprey Sojourn 45L, the price is steep, and I can’t find it in a local store to look at it. I came across this Samsonite bag, which is currently on sale at 50% off, but wondering if anyone is familiar with it, and how Samsonite compares to Osprey as far quality.

Happy (US version) Thanksgiving!
Those backpacks are both 7.5 lbs when empty. I think it's going to be a challenge to meet weight requirements unless you are a devotee of packing very light.
What about just using a folding rolling thing? It would fit under the plane seat seat or next to your backpack/suitcase in the overhead bin.
I think the Samsonite exceeds the height dimension limits, also.
