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.

Since making the move to B&R, no, I honestly do not worry about my luggage.
Life is too short to worry about luggage.
I not too worried, I don’t keep anything expensive in my luggage and I can always get some clothes at my destination if I need to.
Only when the carousel takes forever!
I always carry on, so I never worry. My adrenaline does always spike a little though when I’m forced to gate check…
Always worried the wine will break in the bag
Yes I always worry because it is out of my control.
I am always scared that I’d see my luggage sliced open
I am always concerned about the possibility of damage to my checked luggage! It has happened to me in the past. Having luggage with a good guarantee would certainly give me peace of mind!
I worry once the bag starts to show a little wear and tear.
I should worry more than I do.
yes
Do you worry something is going to happen to your luggage?
Yes, during every trip.
I worry that my bag might get lost if I’m forced to check it. But I also secretly hope it might be a bit damaged so that I can justify getting a new bag. I love luggage!
I worry when I check my bags, but not when I carry on.
I fear the battered bag coming out, held together by copious quantities of airline plastic wrap which, on closer inspection, turns out to be mine literally fallen apart at the seams.
Yes, either the baggage handlers losing it or TSA damaging my bag (they broke the zipper to one of my suitcases).
i always worry after checking in, almost never with carryons (except for gate checks)
I now keep the laptop in the outer compartment, so that if gate checked, I can take it out in 1 sec and be on my way
I always worry if I’m carrying any breakables in my bag, especially if I have to check my bags.
I always worry that my carry on bag is going to fall apart one day when I’m wheeling it through the airport. Just imagine all my items strewn out on the floor as I’m running to catch a flight!
I also travel with Briggs & Riley bags so am not too concerned about something happening to them due to the stellar warranty policy. I brought bags in for repair at least 3 times now and can personally attest that Briggs & Riley really stands behind their commitment!!
No, I don’t worry. I assume something will happen and am pleasantly surprised when things go well.
A little since I have had some airport damage.
I almost never check in a bag, so don’t normally worry about my luggage. When I do check in a bag I do worry about mis-directed luggage.
Against conventional frequent flier wisdom, I almost always check a bag, and yet I don’t worry about doing so. Over hundreds and hundreds of flights, my bag has been mishandled just a handful of times. In all but one case, the delayed baggage was delivered to my hotel or home within hours. In the worst case, my bag arrived a few days late and the airline paid for all of the supplies I purchased in the interim.
No, I don’t worry about it.
I generally don’t worry about my luggage as I can travel overhead at all times so that my bag stays in my possession.
No, I don’t worry. Just figure out what to do if/when something does happen.
No, I don’t worry. In all my years of traveling, nothing major has happened so why worry?
I don’t worry – I assume the worst and am pleasantly surprised when the bags turn out fine.
no, i check
Yes, I do worry.
I worry a touch. More that it will be delayed than lost. I’ve rarely had AA lose one on the outbound, but coming home I’ve had them delayed a day.
only ever time I check a bag!
No, I don’t.
I don’t worry about it, but am not surprised when my luggage returns missing a wheel or with marks all over it.
yes all the time
I’m not worried about my luggage other than it making it to it’s destination.
I worry a bit that it won’t make it to my destination with me, but that has never happened.
Nope, I only worry that it wont make it there!
I worry when I check my bags – and always pleasantly surprised when they hit the conveyer without delay or damage!
Yes i always worry
My bags have been ripped, pierced, dented, scratched and mutilated in all kinds of special ways. Normally, I claim my replacement selectively since the replacements are oftentimes worse than getting my bag fixed. So yeah, I worry that my luggage is mutilated…not to mention completely lost.
The single worst instance was my bag showing up on the carousel half-open with clothes & travel mementos hanging out…and that happened when coming back from my honeymoon…awesome! 🙂
I worry about zipper breaking.
Of course, I’ve had bags damaged and zippers broken in transit.
Of course, I’ve had bags damaged and zippers busted in transit.
Yes, I have concerns it will be stolen.
Typically not, unless I am carrying something really delicious in there. It would not want to loose that bag.
I worry more about damage to the bag itself or the contents (crushed/broken) than it being lost in whole.
Not usually, since I almost never check my luggage.
