  • Front compartment stores a 16 inch laptop

Value: $260

I’m already an RSS subscriber – I don’t have any exciting travel plans lined up yet, but I am completely in the market for a new carry-on and this looks great. For right now I guess Philadelphia is as exciting as I have!

I’m already a subscriber. I’d love to take this on my honeymoon to the Maldives and Bali. Briggs & Riley is my absolute favorite brand of suitcases – introduced to me after an old suitcase fell apart on one of my flights cross-country to college. This will allow me to keep traveling light while still providing space for my laptop.

I would love to take the bag on my trip to Alaska this August and to South America (Peru and the Galapagos) next year!!

I would love to take the luggage on the Vietnam/Cambodia tour. I won’t be able to go until 2012 or 2013, after I retire. But am really intrigued by all your tours and hope to be able to eventually do several.

I would love to take this bag to northern Italy! I will be making lots of stops and this bag would be perfect. It’s the perfect size to keep me traveling light. The laptop pocket is a great feature.

Wow! That would be perfect for my upcoming trip to France, where I’m going to be riding some trains–and you know those train stations with stairs between tracks and no escalators? Need a lightweight bag for sure!

I would love to go to Scotland with my Briggs & Riley bag. I pack light and it would be the best bag to take with me when I go.

First it would go with me on my honeymoon to northern B.C. and then to CO skiing or AZ for sun until I was ready to head back to asia.

Not sure if I_can_enter, but if I could we are seriously hankering for a bag just like this to take on our trip when we get our adoption referral (soon, we’ve been told, soon) to ‘register’ our child.

I love to travel, but my carry-on is finally getting worn out, plus it’s too heavy for me to easily lift into the luggage bins on airplanes. If I win, I would take this bag with me for a trip to Australia, or to Antarctica, whichever comes first!

Am already a subscriber. I would have like to carry this on my trip to Spain in September (but this has been postponed until April/May. But I plan a long trip driving around the Carolinas to try to find a place where I might retire–with beautiful countryside, nice weather and good politics!

I just started subscribing — just got my first official newsletter today! I have a strong desire to get out and see the world this year. I have nothing set in stone, but thinking Spain (then possibly onto rest of Europe) in November….new luggage would be wonderful!

I’m saving for a trip to Italy right now, so I’m sure that would come in handy, or perhaps to take back to Central America. Thanks for including us old time subscribers!

I m taking a group around France for the month of October. We ll be on barges, busses, trains and planes. From upscale hotels to hostels and I need one bag to live out of this entire time that I (only slightly larger than Beth) can use and carry for the entire month.
The Briggs & Riley BRX Explore 19 Upright looks like the answer.

I’m already a subscriber but would LOVE to take this bag with me on an upcoming trip with the kids around the Hawaiian islands. I would like one lightweight bag so that when I have to help the kids with their bags, I don’t have a mom meltdown about “too much stuff”

I would love it for a weekend trip down to wine country.

This would be the perfect accessory to enable me to travel light to Figi! Let’s see: a bathing suit (or two), sarong, sandals, shorts and a couple of tees. I’ve got everything folded, now I just need a suitcase. Hmmm….

I just got back from Paris and luggage was heavy, planning next trip to Italy or Greece next year, would love some lighter luggage and this one sounds perfect.

I would take this to my trip to Turkey with DePaul University’s Turkish Intercultural Club this December. We plan to be there for 10 days. We are studying Turkish now. We will stay with families and visit Istanbul & at least 2 other cities. I will need a good small bag to get around. We are not planning to bring much. (it is better to underpack than to overpack!) Thank you!

I am already a subscriber, oh so many wonderful places to travel, but I would have to say
that I would take this bag to Myanmar – I live in Cambodia so I have been dreaming about
traveling there for awhile now.

I am a subscriber and have the wunderlust, the book and the motivation. This bag would set me up just fine since I always travel light and compact. I can take it across the Nullabor Plain, Australia in August this year, to central Queensland in mid September and to the Galapagos next year. I have a lot of plans for this case..

I attended the World Forum for the Education of Young Children about 5 years ago. My daughter joined me in Montreal and explored the city while I joined EC educators from over 80 countries at the forum. We plan to return to explore & discover what else the city offers while revisiting favorite places we found on our first trip. I would love to win. It would be perfect for my daughter. She currently uses just a backpack. With the current travel restrictions & security, she is always pulled aside for extra checking. They see a young adult female who packs light without the usual luggage or extras & she raises alarms. Having “real” luggage might make her more “normal”. The Briggs & Riley BRX Explore 19 Upright would be perfect for her. It is light weight, has wheels, looks goodt & still hold everything she needs.

:) I am saving to study in Perth right now, and the bag will be my ideal companion when I go on month-long road trips around Oz during the vacations. It looks like it has all the compartments I need and best of all, it is in classic black – my favourite colour which means it will not look dirty so easily. Thanks for the nice offer :)

Thanks for the offer to win such a great carry-on. I’m 68 but still quite active and travel frequently (both with and without my trail horses). I would LOVE to have a lighter weight carry-on and would greatly appreciate a lighter weight bag for lifting to the overhead airline storage racks…

I plan to let the Briggs and Riley bag “carry” me on…In other words, I am in the midst of planning my first solo trip for August. Am considering a variety of destinations including Morocco, Italy, France or Thailand. This is a last minute vacation opportunity that I desperately need to take advantage of. As I was researching my options, I came across your inspiring website and am now even more motivated to get my travel plans under way. I only wish your tour dates fell in August. Perhaps I will explore customizing my trip with you if this is possible.
