Reviews
Ready, Set and Go!
"I used this combo for the first time and am very pleased with both. They fit comfortably in the overhead on United and Hawaiian Airlines and no issues with the Cabin Bag being considered my personal item. Note for photo: The horse tag isn't necessary but it was a gift and I was showing it off to a friend. Casey, our Havanese did not make the trip."

Makes for a nice pilot bag
"I use it as a pilot bag and a 2-day bag. Any longer, you’ll want a full size carry on. I’ve had bigger personal item bags… but it’s the perfect size to fit as a personal item on all aircraft. Including the CRJ145. It’s the only bag with wheels and a retractable handle that fits in the overhead bin of the CRJ145. And it will fit under seats on most all flights without killing leg room. I enjoy the ease at which it attaches to my 22 in carry on. I read reviews saying the 2 wheel stayed on the carry on better. So that’s what I went with. No complaints. I took it and a 22” carryon to Patagonia and it carried what I needed for a week. Very much recommend."

Awesome briefcase/luggage alternative!
"I love this bag! I was looking for an alternative to my standard briefcase, that was getting more and more stuffed and too heavy to carry throughout the airports. I knew I needed something different that could also potentially serve as an overnight bag, carrying my laptop, my iPad, and a lot of other incidentals in a compact yet professional form that I could take into a meeting without looking like luggage. This satisfies all of my needs. It also is made incredibly well. It looks professional and sexy. It holds so much more than it appears it could hold and all of the various pockets and zippered sections are super effective and useful. I love this bag! Highly recommended!"

In love with the last pilot's case I'll ever buy
"I use this as my pilot's case. Although I've had larger cases over the last two decades, this one wins for its big opening and easy access. For my purpose, the organization is perfect, I even like the coffee cup holder I thought I'd never use. It fits all the necessities I need (or like) to carry on the flight deck, I can even throw a big water bottle in for the hotel. The quality says "female legacy carrier captain" which I absolutely love. The only little "downside" is that I now own the Torq Medium Spinner, and its handle is a little too narrow to comfortably thread the questionable Cabin Bag holder onto. Was - ironically - no problem on the Rimowa I previously had. That I would have expected more compatible."

2+ years of full time travel
"We have been traveling exclusively with Briggs & Riley luggage for more than two years. Before Briggs & Riley we traveled with a number of other top quality bags. These are hands down the best luggage! When I say we travel, we live out of suitcases 365 days a year. We travel with ALL modes of transport ALL over the world, some places are not easy to get to. I chose to wait before writing this review. I wanted to test this luggage. All our luggage is from the Baseline Collection. 2 medium size check-in Baseline Expandable Luggage, 1 Essential Expandable carry-on (I wish we would have purchased the Global Expandable due to where we travel). I carry on the 2 wheel cabin bag and my husband carries the Baseline medium Backpack. All our luggage has been soaking wet—- but not our clothes. Our luggage has been treated to the top of vans in a typhoon, the heat on top of a bus, on boats and ferries of all sizes- trains, cars, bikes, you name it and these bags have experienced all types of weather and experiences. We had issues one time at an airport in SE Asia where one of the wheels had most of the rubber worn off on the inside of one wheel. We emailed customer service and within 2 weeks we had new wheels. They sent us the replacements to Southeast Asia! The wheels were very easy to replace! We were also able to replace the stolen smart link straps at this time. Our favorite things about this luggage are how durable and sturdy the Baseline Luggage is, how the luggage expands, and how the luggage opens up with a big deep main sections that we can organize our way. The luggage fits in spaces butterfly opening luggage just can’t. I also love the hanging section for my dresses but my husband uses that section differently. But my most favorite thing is the smart link strap. When my husband hurt his shoulder I could easily attach all the luggage together and we were able to move to a new destination. I also use the smart link strap to add a bag, or jacket. So after all the adventures this luggage has experienced it all still looks amazing! It all still performs amazing! And best of all everything in our luggage is protected. Thank you so much for providing stylish, great quality luggage. It is a privilege to live out of this Briggs & Riley Baseline collection of luggage. PS. Our personalized patch looks amazing and makes us feel safer."

First time buyer and very impressed
"I’m glad I went with 2-wheeler—working as a flight attendant, I come across a lot of carpeted area in the airport and hotels. I wish the top of the luggage was flat then slanted forward. Also wish there was as SmartLink option so that I can add a bag horizontally for better carrying balance for 2-wheeler."

cabin bag
"I wanted to love this bag and have tried multiple times to use it but sadly it’s just not useful. I have 4 briggs bags and recommend them to all my friends just not this one"

Great travel bag
"So far I’m really happy with this small rolling bag. Its shape works well for fitting in overhead bins. At first I was a little stumped on how to stack it on another suitcase until my husband (who’s an engineer figured out how to make it work (the handle of this goes over the extension arm of the other bag and then clips in with the twisty piece on the back)"

Light weight carry on bag
"I love the size of the bag and black color. This bag is very light easy to place in the over head bins. I will give this bag 5 stars due to great compartments and light weight if you dont want to roll the bag."

Beautiful compact bag
"Nice sized small bag that can accommodate essential items. From my previous use of other Briggs and Riley luggage, it is very durable and does not even scratch!"
