I’m a Briggs & Riley fan, my usual carry on is their Baseline CX bag. They’ve made a splash over the past month with a new bag, and I’ve arranged a giveaway.
As I explained last week, I have two different Briggs & Riley bags to give away (different bags for different reasons, they’ve “got your business and leisure covered” as it were).
Last week I gave away the hot new TORQ bag.
Of course Briggs & Riley is all about functional luggage, as much as I like the look of the new bags their bread and butter is the business market epitomized by their @work line.
Which of course comes with Briggs & Riley’s unrivaled lifetime guarantee.

I only worry about the constant everyday wear and tear.
I do worry sometimes that my luggage will be lost, but I always carry my most important possessions on my person.
I rarely check my bag so I don’t worry about anything happening to it. If I do check it, I always assume it won’t be there when I get to my destination.
no!
Not when I carry it on 🙂
Yes, theft – especially when traveling through certain countries.
Every time I check a bag, I worry. That is why I try to do a carry on whenever possible.
I worry that if luggage isn’t with me, it will either be lost or destroyed. I have had both happen with alarming frequency.
I worry that my luggage will be picked up by someone else by mistake because often most luggage looks about the same.
I stopped looking when I saw my bag taken out by a tumbling golf bag. Now I just pretend all will be fine.
Worried about damage.
I worry when I check bags.
If I check bags, I always hold my breath a little until I see them on the carousel.
I worry that the TSA will repack it poorly, either losing something or causing something to break.
Having them delayed is usually a blessing — it means someone else will deliver them to me and I don’t have to haul them around.
I worry only if I check a bag, but I try to avoid that like the plague.
Yes. Best case scenario, they get beat up.
Yup! Worry all the time!
No I don’t
I’m more worried about the bag getting lost than the bag getting damaged.
Anything that I really have to worry about goes in the carry on. I try not to worry about my checked bags…until they happen to be among the last ones to appear on the carousel.
I worry. I worry that the baggage won’t arrive when I do, that the baggage will be broken when it arrives, that something will be stolen. Adof course most of the time all goes well. This doesn’t stop me from worrying on the next flight,
Yes I get worried. I need my luggage!
Always worry my luggage will be lost or damaged when I check my bag.
I worry all the time.
I worry about losing my bag.
If I’m checking bags I always worry. As soon as it leaves your hands, it’s fair game for someone to go through.
Having some bottle of something leak everywhere
I don’t worry about my bag getting trashed. It always surprises me when it gets banged up.
I worry that my luggage will be lost or stolen, particularly on tight connections and crazy routings with less reputable carriers. While I usually pack all my valuables in my carry-on bag(s), I don’t want to ruin a vacation buying clothes or filing claims.
Not really. Anything critical I take in my carry-on. And in the past when I’ve lost luggage (rare), it always showed up before business the next day.
No, I don’t worry until I have to. I have always wanted to go on a cruise with a small carry on and say my large checked baggage was lost so I didn’t have to dress up and bring a ton of overpacked clothes/shoes!
Yes, from past experience, I’ve had quite a number of bags delayed.
I worry….
when checking in: it will be overweight.
at baggage claim: it won’t arrive.
at customs: that they will want to open it.
….too much!
I almost never worry about checked luggage. It’s incredibly convenient to have someone else take care of a heavy suitcase while I go to the lounge to relax before getting on the plane, then I pick it up on the other end.
Based upon previous experiences, I do worry that my luggage will be damaged.
I worry that my luggage will not make it to a very tight connecting flight.
I don’t worry at all that something will happen to my luggage. I try to buy luggage that’s well built and is backed by a good warranty, so if something does go wrong I am covered.
I do NOT worry that my luggage will be damaged — because I use B&R bags and its guarantee is FABULOUS. However, I do worry about checked baggage getting lost/delayed.
yes! i always seem to get my suitcase back with some new problem.
Of course I worry – it’s the way I show I care.
I never worry bc I dont check in anything.
Same here. I try to never check a bag and then I don’t worry!
I just checked my luggage and I’m sitting in an airport lounge in Warsaw, worrying about my luggage and whether it will make the tight connection in Munich because my flight from Warsaw is delayed by 30+ minutes and my connection was only 55 minutes. Come to think of it, I’m more worried whether I will make the connection but I’m resting easier knowing I have special Amex travel delay insurance that will cover me for up to $300 for a hotel, food and transportation, and I’ve never been to Munich so it might not be the worst thing in the world.
I tend to obsessively worry about other stuff more, so no I don’t worry too much about a bag!
I don’t worry about my luggage because most of what’s in there is cheap and replaceable.
I always worry and with good reason. Got to Sydney in January, and the airlines had ducktaped my bag, and there were clothes hanging out everywhere. If possible, I carry on.
I worry about loss on the outbound. Not so much on the return.
I always worry about my bag especially since TSA is still around
I worry about losing checked luggage in between layovers and not having it reach my final destination.
