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.

No, I never worry. Never had anything happen yet (knock on wood) – sure I’ll worry plenty once it does!
I only worry if I’m checking a bag with liquids (usually coming back home from vacation with wine) and whether it will break or not.
Yes, I do worry something will happen to my checked bags. All too often, something has happened in terms of damage.
I worry about my checked bags
I always worry about my checked bags. Like to make sure I see them go through the partition.
Do you worry something is going to happen to your luggage?
No, I have never lost any bags before.
After having my luggage lost in Africa, I worry a bit. But given that it was returned to me, I don’t worry too much!
Yes, I do worry about my luggage. I have watched as the groundstaff literally toss each piece of baggage onto the ramp, to get at something, and they regularly “toss” the luggage onto the conveyor, giving each one a nice bounce, I guess so that they flatten out. Not so great when you have your stuff inside.
And overhead bins eat luggage tags, external zipper handles, etc., so I have a regular supply of replacements, drat it. I’ve found that Tumi Luggage holds up well, including their wheels’ bearings. Briggs stuff is highly touted by my local luggage guy, but I haven’t gotten any yet. This would be a good opportunity to see if he knows what he’s selling….
I try not to worry but then some travel blogger posts a video of airline/airport employees pilfering someone’s bag. That doesn’t help…
I have lost a bag once and it was a nightmare, but generally don’t worry about it.
I don’t worry about something happening to my bag as I never check it. Everything I need must fit into a carry-on —-
“Do you worry something is going to happen to your luggage?”
“Yes”… but since my old school hardside needs replacing (soon) I cap my worry and angst at $25 which is the cost of checking my bag with the airline.
I only worry about my wife’s shampoo exploding everywhere.
Yes, I worry that I will leave it behind by accident!
Yes, all of my clothes are in there and I don’t want to have to go shopping again!
I dont worry about my carryon because I keep a close eye on it.
I dont check any bags…Ever
Ummmm..yes! Our last trip to Europe resulted in ALL of our bags being lost for five days. Thank God it was on the home flight because when we got into MUC we immediately boarded a train for Austria and left Austria the following morning for Slovenia. I’ve now learned to pack three days of clothes in a carry on.
I don’t worry most of the time, because I carry everything on.
I don’t worry. I think that the airlines do a good job these days.
I do worry that it will tear or get lost!
I rarely check bags. Everything I need fits into my carry-on.
I worry the wheel is broken at the beginning of the trip. I’m looking at you LAN!
I constantly worry about my luggage. Between potential “inspections” by the TSA-holes who will never manage to repack my bag the way I had it organized, to the thug baggage handlers who toss my bag around without regard to the integrity of my luggage or its contents, to damage which occurs solely from natural movement that will occur when any item moves from 0 to 37,000 feet in a semi-pressurized environment, I have good reason to worry. And now, with the proliferation of the plague known as RJs, I can’t even fit a reasonably sized carry-on bag into the plane, and have to gate check my bag. Ugh!
Any time I check a bag, I know it’s a gamble. With bag searches and baggage handlers, you never know.
I try to keep it all in my carry on bag ….so no worries!
what me worry?
I worry about everything, that’s just who I am. :-p
Life is way too short ….for worries!
I don’t worry about losing my luggage – because I never let it out of my sight!
I always worry my checked luggage will be lost
I never “check” anything of real value…so the answer is no.
Yes, I worry something is going to happen to my luggage, so I travel with carry on whenever possible.
I worry about stuck zippers and airline weight restrictions.
“Don’t worry-be happy”…it’s only clothes
I worry about our trip to Europe this July. My wife and I have 10 different segments where we check our bags! I’m not sure our existing luggage will survive.
Everytime I check bags! I once saw a baggage handler toss bags around and since then am always a little worried.
Only about checked bags
I get so worried about luggage being rifiled through and or stolen. It hasn’t happened yet but my brand new samsonite luggage zipper got destroyed by my puppy when I got back from vacation. My mom ruined my new carry on by packing a small jar of honey and its covered in it now
I worry constantly about damage to my luggage.
Over the last 6 international trips I have worn out two cloth luggage bags due to damage caused by handling. Zippers torn off, tears in the fabric, etc. I’ve been told that I should use hard case luggage instead, but I like the light weight of cloth bags!
I always worry something will happen to my baggage when I check it (like getting crushed or lost). When I don’t, I still worry on UA’s 767s because of how their baggage compartment is and some people try to “re-organize” the space to force their bag up too.
I don’t own anything that fits into a bag that is worry worthy.
Nah, don’t worry. Then again, I try only to bring a small carry-on rollaboard wherever I go.
I never worry about the luggage. They are always selling more…
I only worry when I have to check bags or if I have to gate-check my carry-on (less with the latter though than the former).
I worry a little about something happening to my luggage, but not overly so.
I don’t worry because my suitcase is dingy and nobody would want it, which is why I’d like to win one!!
I worried until I actually lost my baggage for a few days… it just wasn’t that bad!
If I had a bag as nice as that, I’d worry it’d get stolen. 🙂
I worry about my bag being left in a rental car shuttle.
Yes I worry.. but I do expect my luggage to be brutalized and I pack accordingly!
