Chocolate Is Good For You

Briggs & Riley luggage is introducing their hot new color, chocolate! This is a rich, dark brown color that will stand out at airport carousels. Of course, they still feature the olive and the black colors that were introduced many years ago. The chocolate has all of the fine features of the Baseline collection, plus updated new features. They’ve streamlined the handle grip for sleeker appearance and comfort. The bottom handle is improved for durability. The fabric has better abrasion resistance. The interiors are lighter weight with greater impact resistance. The pop-up function on the expanding cases is easier to use and more ergonomic. It’s spring-loaded and locks into position better and easier. The outside handles are sleeker, stronger and have a more comfortable grip. Inside, the 3-in-one interior lid features a removable garment sleeve and packing panel. It also has a tie pocket. Outside, there’s a speed through pocket for hassle free airport security checks. The bright orange inside color of the pocket alerts you if it’s left open. The frames on the new baseline collection are lighter weight and they’ve made them more durable. All of the new features are available in all three colors. We all know that everyone’s favorite feature is the outside handles. There are no lumps inside the case to pack around, and the whole interior is yours to pack your travel essentials. Also, you want to remember that Briggs & Riley cases are guaranteed for life. It’s as simple as that. You merely bring any cases you’ve purchased here to us, and even airline damage will be taken care of at no charge. Indulge in this luggage known for “performance without compromise.” The new baseline is smarter and more durable, plus lighter in weight. There are two collections available in the baseline collection from Briggs & Riley luggage.
The expandable Pullman cases give more room when you need it, and the superlight cases offer lightweight luggage for the traveler watching those pounds. The new color proves to you exactly why chocolate is good for everyone! Indulge!

Carry on Luggage – For Today

Travel has changed a bit. The planes are generally more crowded, and the overhead bins are filled to capacity. There are several ways you can cope with the changing climate of air travel. If you are flying to a popular airport such as O’Hare in Chicago, it’s best if you do not expand that Zero Halliburtoncarry on bag. The overhead bins are filled and you may have to gate check your bag. If you use a smaller carry on bag or use your bag in the less than capacity mode, you’ll have a better chance of fitting the bag in the overhead. I will often take the international sized carry on luggage on these busy flights. I’ll take a slightly larger personal bag, and fit the personal bag in the overhead compartment. These bags are soft sided and can be pushed into smaller areas. I’ll place the international or 20″ carry on luggage under the seat in front of me. You also need a lot of patience when traveling. I bring along at least two paperback books to read and I always have several snacks with me. Be sure to comply with all of the new airline regulations also. If you are bringing along small toothpaste, or any liquids or gels, put them in the three-one-one case. This is the clear plastic case in a one-quart size, filled with bottles or jars of three ounces or less. You may only bring one of these per person. Be sure you have an identification tag on your carry on bag, as you may not always be able to put it over your seat, or even nearby. And of course, leave your Swiss army knife at home, or packed in your baggage and not your carry on luggage. Remember that the airlines are dealing with these higher fuel prices just as all of us are at home. They are trying to do the best they can, and grumpy passengers do not make the travel experience pleasant for anyone.
