Top 10 Carry On Bags

1. Samsonite L.I.F.T. 21″ Expandable Spinner (20.5″ x 15″ x 7″; 7 lbs)

Samsonite is made with high quality materials and is one of the top luggage brands at Irv’s Luggage. This Spinner Boarding Bag received several reviews at Irvsluggage.com and they are all five stars. There is a lot to like about this bag.  It has four multi-directional spinner wheels which allow 360 degree upright rolling so there is no weight on your arm. Integrated into the bag is top and side carry handles.  It includes tie down straps that keep the bag’s contents in place.

2. Delsey Helium Aero Carry On Expandable Spinner Trolley (21″ x 14.5″ x 10.5″; 8.4 lbs)

The Helium Aero Spinner Trolley from Delsey has many great features. This hardside upright is made with 100% polycarbonate which is good because it makes the case durable enough to keep your travel items safe and it makes the case lightweight too. The spinner wheels rotate 360 degrees to assure multi-directional rolling. Do you need to buy a TSA lock for your trip? You don’t need to worry about getting one if you have this carry on bag because a 3-dial TSA accepted combination lock is built into the case.

3. David King Vacquetta Leather 20” Large Duffel (12” x 20” x 12”; 3.5 lbs)

Your carry on bag doesn’t need to have spinner wheels and several technology features. A simple duffel bag can work great as a carry on bag. David King has some good duffel bags. This 20” bag is made with durable and long-lasting vacquetta leather and has a roomy main compartment with a u-zip closure. Don’t worry that this duffel won’t have enough pockets for your small items. It has front and back zip pockets and two side zip pockets.

OLY RD9022

 

 

 

4. Olympia Casual Sports 22” Rolling Carry On Duffel (22″ x 13″ x 9″; 6.7 lbs)

Maybe you don’t take many weekend trips and don’t want to spend a lot of money on a luggage bag you plan to use only a few times. This rolling carry on bag from Olympia is less expensive than the other bags on this list, but it has enough good features to make it a good carry on bag. The main compartment is roomy and with eight pockets, it shouldn’t be difficult to pack all of your essential items.

 

 

WGR 19002215

 

5. Wenger SwissGear Scan Smart Backpack (18.5″ x 15″ x 8.5″; 3.5 lbs)

6. Briggs & Riley Torq International Carry On Spinner (21.4” x 14.3” x 9.4”; 8.9 lbs)

At 8.9 pounds, this Briggs & Riley spinner is not one of the lightest carry ons on this list, but it has many great features. It has a scratch resisting hardside case that will protect your belongings including a laptop and iPad. The gusseted, zipperless design sits flush with bag when closed, allowing an easy fit into the overhead compartment. The wheels are recessed double spinners for a lower center of gravity and effortless 360 degree navigation. Fodor’s named this carry on as one of the best carry on luggage bags for 2013 on their website.

7. Lipault Paris 2 Wheeled Foldable 22” Carry On Packing Case (22” x 14” x 8”; 5.33 lbs)

This Lipault carry on case has a feature that none of the other carry on bags on this list has: it can fold. If your biggest problem is that you have no room in your closet to store a carry on, this case fixes that problem because when it is not being used, it can fold up and go under your bed. It also has some good features that include two inline wheels, several zippered pockets, a combination lock and two interior adjustable straps for your clothes.

 

 

VL 313401

 

 

8. Victorinox Mobilizer NXT 5.0 22” Expandable Wheeled Carry On  (22” x 14” x 9”; 9.9 lbs) $259.99

The NXT 5.0 carry on from Victorinox has the features you would want every carry on bag to have. It has two front pockets for items that you can easily access without having to open the main compartment of the bag. If you need more room, it expands 2.5 inches for 29% extra packing capacity. You can carry your laptop inside the case and secure it with the Travel Sentry Approved luggage lock.

9. Travelpro Crew 9 21” Expandable Spinner with Suiter Luggage (21” x 14” x 9”; 9.3 lbs)

Do you want a carry on bag that has spinner wheels, expands, will last for a long time and is easy to maneuver? This Travelpro Crew 9 carry on is a luggage bag you should consider. It is made with microballistic nylon fabric with Duraguard fabric protection and has a removable suiter system.

 

 

AP 3091213

 

 

 

10. Atlantic Compass Unite Wheeled Tote (13″ x 16″ x 8″; 6.1 lbs)

The last carry on luggage bag on my list is this wheeled tote from Atlantic Luggage. It is one of the smallest carry on bags on this list, but it has plenty of room for your accessories and has a front pocket for quick access to your wallet, iPod, keys and airline tickets. The high-sheen Poly fabric provides exceptional resistance to wear and tear. It might be too small for a trip that lasts more than a couple days, but it looks excellent for a one or two day trip.

 

Any one of these ten carry on bags should be great for a weekend trip. These bags and many more are available at Irv’s Luggage.

What is spinner luggage vs. suiter style luggage?

Spinner luggage refers specifically to the presence of 4 wheels on the case, allowing you to roll the bag in an upright position alongside you, instead of pulling the bag behind you. Standard rolling luggage has 2 wheels, usually in line skate wheels that offer a smooth glide, but can be more of a strain on the back and neck because you must pull this luggage along behind you. Spinner luggage stays upright next to you, with wheels that swivel as you change direction. Many people find spinner luggage to be easier to handle, with significantly less stress on the body.

Some of the top brands selling spinner luggage are Samsonite, Travelpro, and Victorinox.

Suiter style luggage is something else entirely. ‘Suiter’ refers to a compartment that is sometimes built into the case and sometimes removable, that allows you to hang garments to minimize wrinkling. This works well for suits, dresses, shirts and blouses because you lay the garments flat in the suiter compartment, and then fold it in half or in thirds, into the suitcase. This really does help reduce the wrinkling that occurs when you just fold garments and pack them in the case.

Spinner luggage can have a suiter compartment, and suiter bags can also be spinners. Briggs & Riley is a perfect example; they make luggage with the suiter feature as well as with spinner wheels.

Carry On Luggage and Thanksgiving Travel

Are you planning to travel and celebrate Thanksgiving? Traveling for Thanksgiving is a great way to spend the holiday, see family and friends, and take a rest.

Traveling means packing things that you want to bring. We all tend to want to bring more with us when we travel than we have room for. This is a common packing problem. The best solution to this packing dilemma are packing accessories. Brands like Eagle Creek and Travelon make packing cubes and packing folders that help keep your clothes organized and save tons of space in your luggage.

While packing accessories will change how your pack forever, it is essential that you consider the luggage that you take with you as well. Durability is important, as are wheels and weight. On a short trip, it is highly recommended that you use a carry on bag. This saves you time in the airport as well as baggage fees. Popular brands of carry on luggage that you can buy are listed below:

  1. Samsonite Carryon Luggage
  2. Travelpro Carryon Luggage
  3. Delsey Carry On Luggage

These are three of the most trusted brands of carryon luggage. They are reliable, durable, lightweight and come in a variety of colors and styles. Most cases come with spinner wheels, making travel easier. Rimowa is a luxury luggage brand that makes hardside polycarbonate cases that are very lightweight but extremely strong. They are a great investment for the serious world traveler. Travelpro made the first Rollaboard suitcase over 20 years ago. Designed to meet the travel needs of pilots and flight attendants, they are now meeting the needs of everyday travelers. Samsonite is the most globally recognized brand in the world, and for good reason. They make a case for every type of traveler; hardside, softside, spinner cases and more. Make your travel experience fun, memorable and hassle free while using carry on luggage from Irv’s Luggage.

Traveling Soon? Tips for buying good luggage!

After six weeks of frequent airline travel (six airline trips in six weeks) I’ve been in a lot of airports and seen a lot of luggage.  I worked for Irv’s Luggage for over five years and now have a new job and travel quite a bit. Over the last six weeks of traveling I acquired an entirely new perspective on airline travel and more importantly for Irv’s Luggage, a brand new perspective on luggage. I guess that I have now been upgraded to a frequent flyer, as the flight attendants now know my name.  Traveling with good luggage can make a huge difference in your trip and a huge difference in how you feel about traveling.

Three things to consider when purchasing new luggage.

First, how do you travel? Do you check your bag or are you more of a carry-on luggage person? For me, I really like a carry-on, cabin bag. I had to wait this past Sunday, while one of my traveling companions  waited for her large, wheeled checked bag came off the airline carousel.  The wait wasn’t terrible, but how do you find your bag among the sea of black bags?  Impossible. Plus, no matter how pristine the luggage is when  you check it, it comes out smashed, dirty and often something is damaged or scratched.  So whenever I can, I carry my luggage on board. My choice for the best carry on luggage? Easy: Briggs and Riley 21 inch wheeled carry on bag. Durable, easy to wheel and made of ballistic nylon, this rugged carry on is my first choice for a carry on bag.  And, good news, right now the Briggs & Riley Baseline 21″ Carry On Expandable Upright Chocolate – Discontinued  is on sale at 35% off.

Second, warranty. Let’s face it, luggage gets damaged…frequently. Look for luggage that offers a lifetime warranty, or a ‘no questions asked’ type of warranty. Briggs & Riley was one of the original ‘lifetime luggage warranty’ companies, and now many luggage manufacturers offer either lifetime warranty or a ten year warranty.  Hartmann Luggage, Samsonite, Victorinox, High Sierra and even Eagle Creek offer wonderful warranties.  And, should your luggage get damaged… first, if the airline damaged the bag, then stop at the ticket counter immediately and file a claim.  Second, Irv’s Luggage offers luggage repair on virtually every major brand. So, if you need luggage repair for wheels, zippers, handles, or seams, bring it to Irv’s Luggage for all your luggage repairs – no matter what the damage is.

Last, thought… right now spinner luggage is hugely popular (vs. the typical two – wheeled luggage).  My preference of spinner luggage verses the traditional wheeled luggage: spinner luggage.  Spinner luggage is easier to wheel in an airport, down the center aisle of the airplane and virtually everywhere. And, if your luggage gets damaged, and you lose a wheel, you still have three others!  I love my new spinner luggage. If you want something other than Briggs (see paragraph above) I am also a huge fan of the new Samsonite Hyperspace Spinner 21.5″ Expandable Upright (SM 47166). Offered in black, teal and pink, this is rugged, spinner carryon luggage is spacious, durable and lightweight.

Back on the road again on Friday to lovely Memphis. This trip, my Samsonite Hyperspace will be traveling with me!

 

 

With Samsonite Luggage, limited funds can allow for unlimited options

Every morning on my way to work I see planes in the sky after they have taken off from O’Hare International Airport. Some days the planes are high up in the clouds, jetting through the air; other days they are making a swift ascent into the unknown, on their way to a far-off location. This morning I followed one plane in particular and started thinking – Where are the passengers traveling? How much did it cost to buy a ticket? And most importantly, how can I go too?

After I bring myself back down to Earth (and the traffic surrounding me), I realize that there is a lot of work that goes into not only reaching a final travel location, but planning the trip and organizing the details. While I don’t have the time or the funds to travel (darn those college loans!), I love to read about different destinations through books and magazines, especially on the topic of traveling on a budget. Some of the greatest articles that I have read give quite simple advice: purchase discount luggage from reputable retailers, such as Irv’s Luggage; look for carry on luggage or luggage sets with a great warranty from brands such as Samsonite Luggage, Travelpro Luggage and Briggs & Riley Luggage; and pack for the elements because anything can happen.

For most consumers, when you finally decide to purchase luggage for your trip, you want to look for a piece or pieces that will hold up to the elements (or airline damage) but won’t break the bank. Two of the most sought-after brands of luggage today are Samsonite and Travelpro. Samsonite is a household name for a reason. Each of their luggage collections offers something unique for the consumer whether you are looking for lightweight luggage, spinner luggage or colorful luggage for a distinctly individual feel.

With their quality luggage craftsmanship, unique shape and moderately pSamsonite xSpace Spinner 21"riced pieces, the Samsonite xSpace spinner collection offers consumers many great features in one compact piece. With a large packing capacity, durable spinner wheels for easy maneuvering, the SamGuard Protection which resists stains from oil, dirt and water and a Travel Sentry lock to protect all of your belongings, priced at only $132.99, the Samsonite XSpace Spinner 21.5 Expandable is one product that will live up to your high expectations.

Travelpro has also created multiple luggage collections but is best known for their luggage and briefcases for the business traveler. As a frequent traveler, you want luggage that will stand up to your varied schedule and isn’t weighed down by fancy additions. You also want a piece that is checkpoint friendly, making it easier and safer to get your computer through airport security, while still being lightweight and durable. Each piece that Travelpro makes keeps the consumer in mind.

Travelpro Crew 8, the latest update to the Crew series, brings a new perspective to luggage. The Crew 8 has the packing capacity that is perfect for a carry onTravelpro Crew 8 22" Expandable Rollaboard Suiter bag and includes a large zippered front pocket providing storage for laptops, newspapers, sweaters and any last minute items before leaving for the airport. The carry on piece also has a removable suit sleeve with patented padded foam bars for wrinkle-free packing and a smaller ticket pocket providing quick access to a wallet, passport, iPod®, keys and your airline tickets. With these essential additions, the Travelpro Crew 8 22″ Expandable Rollaboard Suiter will securely hold all of your personal belongings while you travel to that all important meeting.

Now that I know there are many luggage options available to me ranging from cheap luggage sets to designer luggage; from blue briefcases to brown briefcases and every color in between; maybe I can find a way to get on a plane and travel with the new luggage set I’ve purchased from Irv’s Luggage!

How do you pack your carry on luggage

There are dozens of travel websites, articles and books questioning “How to choose the right carry on for you” or “Which carry on luggage is lightweight, durable and cheap?” While these are valid questions you should ask before you travel, the answers only give the consumer a partial solution.

You might choose one of the lightest luggage brands around, Samsonite Luggage, and the  Samsonite Samsonite Lift 21" CharcoalL.I.F.T. as your new go to bag, but if you over pack (or like to shop while on vacation like I do) that brand new, lightweight bag might cost you at the airport. So, how do you ensure that your luggage will hold up to the newest weight requirements? One of the easiest solutions to this challenging travel dilemma is the use of travel accessories. These accessories encourage simplifying travel in a variety of ways. They allow travelers to organize and compartmentalize their belongings, which is important now that airlines are enforcing size restrictions. Packing accessories also ensure that clothing and accessories are not only well protected but can be easily located once you start to unpack. By arranging all of your shirts in one folder and all of your pants in another, there is little room for error when looking for the next day’s outfit.

You’ve read that travel accessories simplify packing. But, there are currently hundreds of travel accessory options – shirt folders and pants hangers and tie cases and jewelry pouches – to choose from. How do you know what travel extras are right for you? One of the least expensive and most versatile accessories any traveler can purchase today are packing cubes. Eagle Creek Pack-It folder 20Packing cubes come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors and can make packing clothes and travel extras a much easier feat. Having size and color options available not only allows for individuality but it gives each traveler the opportunity to pack more clothes in a smaller space.

I was recently introduced to Eagle Creek Luggage packing accessories and was shown the logistics of the packing system.  Since then, the Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder 20 has become one of my new favorite travel accessories.  The folder comes in three different sizes, 15, 18 and 20-inches with each weighing about a pound and comes with a durable plastic insert showing you how to fold your clothes in the most economical way. Each individual folder keeps tops and bottoms folded in a secure environment, and they can be stacked to increase packing space in your luggage. The packing cubes also offer designated space for your lighter clothing but at a different size capacity. They can hold more than a weeks worth of t-shirts and tank tops in the same amount of space that it would normally take to pack just a few tops in your wheeled luggage.

So you have all of your clothes packed, but how do you store your shoes, socks and accessories? Eagle Creek Pack-It cubes and Pack-It sacs offer a lot of storage at a little price. You can roll your socks in the tube cube (hiding jewelry or money inside); stick your toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash in an extra small Eagle Creek Pack-It Sac extra smallpack-it sac; and still have room to fit all of those goodies you promised yourself you wouldn’t buy, inside your bag. Not only will you be able to fit multiple Pack-It sacs among your larger items of clothing, you can also squeeze smaller accessories inside for greater packing capacity!

Whether you use one packing accessory or fill up your entire suitcase with them during your travels, you won’t regret the addition of this multi-function accessory. Now that I have tried these carry-on accessories (and actually used them) I will never travel without them! Check out the packing accessories at Irv’s Luggage today!
