Baseline Uprights

You can’t go wrong with Briggs & Riley. The 21 Global 2 wheeler is the best gear that you can find for travel.

I’ve pressed my luck over the years with a 24” case with no issues (I almost always fly First Class and FAs and GAs tend to look the other way for those of us spending the big bucks) but I’ve recently started flying out of cities that require bags to be placed in 23” bins. Obviously, a 24” bag sticks up and I knew I would get called on it sooner or later. So I’ll save my fantastic 24” bag for road trips and I bought this one for air travel. First, let me say the wheel design is incredible. It gives you an extra inch of room inside the bag compared to the 4-wheel bags. That might not seem like much, but when you are limited to 20 or 21 inches of interior space, that is as much as a 5% increase in space. It makes up half of the space I lost going from a 24” to a 22” bag. Second, I wasn’t sure about whether I’d find the garment bag feature inside useful, but I used it for a pair of dress slacks going one direction on a 4+hour flight and suit jacket jacket on the return and both came out virtually wrinkle-free. So, a winner there. I’m still on the fence about the floating insert at the bottom of the bag. I can see how it might be useful to separate clean from dirty clothes, but I use packing cubes and a dirty clothes bag, so I didn’t use it for that. i may find a use in the future. The outside pockets were of no use for me. I always carry a underseat bag anyway. I can see how the smaller pocket between the handle bars might be good for a pair of glasses. The real winner is the compression feature. I packed the bag in its extended position with a dirty laundry bag inside and just crushed it down. Viola! Legal width. Better than fighting with a zipper that breaks (I’ve seen this happen). The bag BARELY fits in a Delta overhead, wheels first, as long as you stay away from the hinges. I will have to wait to try on other carriers and in the new Airbus sideways configuration, but it should be good. All-in-all, this bag fits a LOT of inside space into a small package. It is extremely well-built, with a lifetime warranty. A winner bag.

Excelente maletín, tal y como se describe!

The bag is lightweight and provides lots of storage. The expansion feature is easy to use and allows this bag to be the only bag you need for 5-7 day trips.
