Reviews
Great small bag
"Love the size for a couple nights or for long trips that you want a small bag in addition to your large bag to keep overnight items, meds and miscellaneous items you use often. The wheels move smoothly in all directions. Love the pockets and the ability to put a water bottle on the side. Definitely recommend."

BEST Travel Companion!!
"The perfect size for essentials (plus a few more!) and glides effortlessly through the airport for connecting flights. Stylish and well-designed — this under-seat bag is a MUST! And no more lifting a bag up into the overhead bin (I’m short and not so young)! Thank you Briggs & Riley!"

Underseater
"I was excited to receive my under seater and initially very pleased. However, it did NOT fit under my seat as intended. The quality of the luggage is outstanding, well packaged, top quality made, sharp looking, sturdy. I purposely chose this particular bag due to the intended use traveling to fit under my seat. I am a frequent traveler annually making nearly fifty trips. The first and only time I have used this bag the telescoping handle did not stay extended but continued to retract. I was able to use it as a roller after several attempts. I did not want to purchase a bag that I had to carry throughout an airport. Once on the plane I could not fit it under the seat but had to place it overhead. This was on Alaskan Airlines. On my return flight I left it behind as I was flying United and the dimensions stated the under seater needed to be 10” wide so this bag would not fit. I did not want to have to pay $50 at the gate for an overhead bag. The cabin spinner does roll easily throughout the airport; on the escalator, the train, gangway and into the plane. I was thrilled up to the moment it did not fit…. Laurie"

Fabric liner slips into zipper
"Decided to try one of their smaller bags because I’ve heard great things about these bags, and we are frequent travelers. I think it it is made with quality materials, but the front pocket on this bag has a propensity for fabric to get stuck in the zipper. Today it took me over an hour to get the fabric out of the zipper and to get the zipper moving again. While I filled out all of the warranty information, this was categorized as user error. I guess in a way it is, but the design makes it very easy for humans to make this error."

The one!
"Just wow. We had a prior version of this bag that was more focused on papers (dividers) and laptops (padded laptop sleeve. ) This bag loses the dividers and adds side pockets, and outside zippered pocked and SPACE! It’s much larger than the prior bag (so may not fit under every seat, we shall see,) which is a huge advantage. It is so easy to pack and of course, it is an amazing Briggs & Riley spinner. I had thought I’d switch to a backpack, but after our last trip where I was carrying both laptops, both iPads and misc. other carryon items, I quickly decided I was going back to a spinner bag. So glad I did! A+ Highly recommended."

Cabin Spinner
"Received our lovely luggage promptly, well packaged and intact. The Cabin Spinner is the perfect size to bring our essentials on board with us to keep them close while being able to slip it under the seat ( hopefully) without the overhead bin hassles. This is vital so I'm extremely hopeful . . . . Not traveling for several more months so I'll have to get back to you if I'm thrilled or not."

Quick Business
"I purchased this cabin spinner bag primarily for short trips, many of which are on small regional jetliners. Overall, the quality is good and the functionality is solid. It easily fits a mid-sized laptop, charging cables, an extra t-shirt, and has a couple of convenient pockets for essentials like your wallet, license, and car keys. One important note: this bag does not fit under the seat on Delta regional connector aircraft. It will need to go in the overhead bin. If you’re buying it specifically to use as an under-seat personal item on smaller regional jets, keep that in mind. The construction feels sturdy overall. The only area that seems slightly less robust is the handle when the bag is packed heavy. That said, with the lifetime warranty, I’m not concerned about long-term durability. Overall, it’s a well-built, functional bag — just make sure your expectations about under-seat fit match your typical aircraft."

Great personal item
"Now that the airlines are cutting hard on carrying-on bags and only allowing a personal item, I decided to buy this spinner. Small but ample room. Great wheels. Very high quality. The bag feels rich. The zippers are the best I have ever felt. Well worth the investment in my opinion."
