Frequent fliers carry bags on board to save time. Less frequent fliers carry bags on board to save money. Almost all fliers carry on luggage to avoid the risk of loss by airlines and handlers.
To satisfy these needs, we all shop for sleek and efficient rolling bags. But not all carry on luggage is created equal.
Convenient bags are full of zipper pockets. Slide in and out your magazines, flight documents, plastic liquid pouches. These roll ons are made of resilient ballistic material or leather.
More recently, we have been inundated with a new generation of all plastic shells. If you are a frequent traveler, think this through. The shells have no exterior compartments.
The only way to remove your liquids and electronics for security screening is to open the entire case. Just bought a magazine? Snacks? You’ll have to open the entire case. Just boarded your flight? Want to remove your snacks and magazines while the rest of the passengers board around you? You’ll have to open the entire case.
Sure, you can partially open the zipper and try to slide items in, but it is much harder to get them back out. Yes, these sleek cases look like the ideal modern travel accessory, but you should seriously think through your travel habits before making the switch from the tried and true.
