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 worries! Check nothing of value.
No I don’t
I worry about not only my checked bag but my carry on as well. Locks help but aren’t everything.
Worry that someone will snag some goods
I worry that my luggage will be lost when it is checked.
Never! Luggage is essentially throw-away when you can get a decent carry on for around $30 (thanks Amazon!)
I do worry because my bags have been lost and damaged before and I’ve seen them being put on the plane while its pouring rain!
Today I took a Delta flight from Florida to JFK, and for the first time that I can remember, my bag was the first one to appear on the carousel. So at least for today, I did not worry about my luggage.
I worry…. too much!
Checking in: it will be overweight.
Baggage claim: it won’t arrive.
Customs: that they will want to open it.
Not much at all
I think about problems with luggage but don’t worry much.
Losing my luggage is a worry.
I don’t worry; any damage has always been repaired at the airline’s expense and sometimes it is a convenient for them to deliver my luggage to me rather than having to schlep it from the airport.
Yes, with delayed bags.
Of course I worry something is going to happen to my luggage. There’s no accountability or monitoring for baggage handlers and TSA agents so they can get away with anything.
If I only have a carry-on I’m not nearly as worried.
Yes, I worry that it will be damaged, or contents stolen
Yes. I always check my bag…even though I’m a 100k domestic/year traveler. So, my bag sees some rough handling. It has been left on the runway and had to catch a flight the next day to catch up. It has been misrouted and probably has seen more of the world than I. It’s been ripped, torn,smudged….and probably spit on. Sometimes it hold up…sometimes it has to visit the luggage hospital. A quality bag really makes the difference and I’ve had my current one (Boyt) for over eight years. It isn’t pretty, but it is easily recognizable on the carousel
Damage is what I worry about.
Not damage, but always dread those TSA pieces of paper that means they went though my items…..ugh!
I worry about the bag, not necessarily what is inside of it.
I worry about having too many bags
I worry that my check-in bag might be lost or damaged.
I worry that the TSA will not close my bag properly after their random (??) inspection and things will spill out and get lost.
I certainly do worry that something (bad) is going to happen to my luggage!!!
I worry about my bag only on the way OUT. As I usually don’t put anything worth stealing in my checked bag, and since it can all easily be replaced, I worry only about not having my “stuff” when I get to my destination and the hassle it would cause.
Not really.
I worry the zippers will break.
Handles, zippers, wheels… So much to worry about. 😉
Any time we have to check, I spend most of the flight worried or consoling my husband, because he has terrible luck. Arrive in a foreign country for a long trip to find TSA has inspected his bag and repacked his freshly polished dress shoes inside his (now stained) shirt rather than back in his shoe bags? It’s happened to him.
That time when you are watching the carousel, silently praying that your bag will appear has to be the longest on any trip.
Please… just let it show up in one piece.
I always worry if my checked bags will make it.
When I travel I don’t fret that something will happen to my luggage. When I buy luggage I look for pieces that are well built and backed by a good warranty, so if something does go wrong there’s piece of mind to get it fixed.
I worry that my luggage will get lost!
I do worry, but not as I worry about other things in life!
I typically don’t worry about my luggage. Apart from a few instances of bus / train travel abroad, I’m not usually concerned with carry ons or checked items.
I have better things to worry about such as missing a connecting flight!
Yes I do worry and with good reason too!
Yes – and rightfully so. I try not to check a bag at all.
Do you worry something is going to happen to your luggage? We’re going to China!!! Yes I am worried about my side of the road luggage. (means we found what we are using!)
I guess I would be worried if I were going to Italy, otherwise no.
I worry that my checked back will not make it to the destination.
Depends on which airport i’m at. If i’m at an airport where they provide luggage wrap service (Dubai, South Africa, Malaysia) then I am more worried. Otherwise not so much.
I worry about my bag getting lost.
I don’t usually worry about my luggage getting lost.
No worries about luggage being stolen
Try not to worry. Try not to pack anything valuable.
Damaged – not really. Lost or mistakenly taken by another passenger – yes.
I worry that my hand-me-down luggage will bust a zipper, but I don’t usually worry about it getting lost or with having contents stolen.
I only worry that TSA or baggage handlers tamper with the contents, but not the actual bag. I’ve used pretty low-investment bags up to now. With an @work bag, that may change though!
I definitely worry something is going to happen to my luggage.
