I love my speedy 35! It was one of my first lv and i always find myself coming back to it. I Dont pack it down with a lot of stuff, so there is plenty of empty space, but it is great for toting my daily essentials along with additional things from time to time (heels for work, script and composition book for rehearsal, snacks coz i am just a little piglet...). I have an idylle speedy 30 and love the convenience of the longer strap, but really love the 35 in the classic speedy style. I have traveled with it and had no problems. It is nice since it zips securely and also has room for travel goodies like magazines, bottle of water, snacks (hee, hee, hee), and a light sweater.
