Reviews

Great 2 wheeled luggage

"The functionality and versatility of this carryon is amazing. The garment section of the carryon is quite large capacity. I was able to put 7 shirts and 3 pants which had no wrinkles when I unpacked. The lifetime guarantee and the ease of use and large capacity are great factors to purchase this carryon."

— Isaac M. (5/5)

Almost perfect

"I like how sturdy the bag feels. I personally feel like the extra weight is worth it for the reliability. I’m disappointed with the wheels. They’re hard plastic and very loud on uneven ground. For how expensive the bag is, I would expect something upgraded like rollerblade wheels. The new “locking” nub for the t-bar accessories is a nice touch. The straps/j-hooks don’t fall off as easily but they can still fall off. A tug in the right direction and your $25 accessory is gone. The structure that allows for expansion is great and holds structure well. I also like that it’s adjustable, it’s not just expanded or not. You can extend it, pack it and then squish it down after you close it."

— Naniluaole P. (4/5)

Disappointing

"I really want to like this suitcase; however, the two wheelers made it less maneuverable plus the handle bar built in on the bottom side of the suitcase makes it harder to place in an overhead compartment- cannot slide in easily."

— bonnie c. (2/5)

One year in thousands of miles traveled

"I have been a Flight Attendant for 36 years and have owned a number of different bags over the years. One year in with the 2 wheel Baseline Essential 22" and I can honestly say that this is by far the best bag I have owned. With the flat bottom I can easily pack everything flat and I have no problem carrying everything i need for 7days of work. It pulls super easy and fits in just about every aircraft overhead bin (except very small regional jets i. e. CRJ-900) that I work or commute on. The material is solid and still looks great even after one year. I have never had a issue with the handle and I do clean the outside of the wheel bearings from time to time to remove carpet fibers so the wheels spin smoothly. Yes many will say the price is high but this is a bag for life. The crew bags we are offered from that other brand are junk and barely last a year or two. I may not have too many years left as a Flight Attendant but I know this bag will last me far beyond and into retirement. Thank you Briggs and Riley for making a quality product"

— Brian P. (5/5)

So I’ve been a flight

"So I’ve been a flight attendant for about five years and I’ve had the tumi 4 wheel the travel pro flight Crew 5 and I did extensive research on one of the best Crew bag amongst flight attendants and pilots and I decided to go with Briggs and Riley… the garment compartment specifically for my uniforms and the lifetime warranty is what sold me… I’ve had it for about a month now it’s sleek, it’s durable no complaints so far!"

— Trinity B. (5/5)

Solid and dependable

"I took this to Mexico for a trip through Oaxaca and Mexico City. Of course, there was an unexpected checked bag situation, and I knew my Briggs and Riley would perform admirably. Sure enough, it landed in Oaxaca looking great, with all my belongings in place and in one piece. It took on cobbled streets without a problem, and looked stylish doing it. The wheels are solid, and I felt that I had made a great, buy-it-once purchase. Thanks! Love my luggage!"

— MELANIE H. (5/5)

Superb Quality

"The construction and design of this carry-on is fantastic. Well thought out practicality and function. Outstanding materials were used. It looks great and professional. Love the blue color!"

— STEVEN W. (5/5)

Sturdy, well-made suitcase but very heavy.

"The suitcase is very sturdy and well-made; however it is very heavy empty. I travel every week for business and while I like the suitcase, I ultimately went back to my much lighter TravelPro. By the time I packed the suitcase, it was almost too heavy for me to hoist in the overhead bins. The side handle and the zippers are also on the opposite sides of the suitcase which also made it harder to get in the overhead on the plane. I'll keep the suitcase for back-up but the weight is just too much for me for weekly use."

— Betsy A. (5/5)

Quality, "GO TO" Bag. Domestic, International

"This bag wears like steel, and is versatile, perfect. The expansion mechanism is a highlight but the tag alone strap for a computer bag or backpack is why the 2 wheeler was a fit for me. You get what you pay for. Not a cheap price, but it delivers, for a long long time."

— Michael H. (5/5)

I loved it

"It has a really high quality, the materials, the details, the size, the capacity and packing on a flat surface is so useful, i love that feature"

— Erick R. (5/5)

Q&A

Have this one, but regret not buying the 4 wheel roller one. Can you add wheels to the front of this?: Good Afternoon Erin, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Regrettably, we are unable to modify a two-wheeled suitcase into a four-wheeled one.
Do Southwest Airlines flight crew get a discount on these bags?: Good Morning Jill, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. You will want to contact our consumer service team at 877.745.3978, they will be happy to answer your request.
Would this fit a size 50r suit?: Good Afternoon Chris, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The bag will hold a 50R suite but you will need to fold it to place it in the suiter area of the bag.
Looking for a flight crew bag. Will this bag fit in the Beechcraft King Air 350 wing locker? Looking at the 2 wheeled 22 carry on.: Good Afternoon Tina, Thank you for contacting Briggs and Riley. My suggestion for a flight crew bag would be our Baseline. We do carry a few different styles of two wheel bags.
how much does the 22" 2-wheel carry on weigh?: Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. This bag weighs 9.7 lbs.
