Best Business Travel Cabin Luggage Options
Choosing which type of carry on luggage can be daunting. To help narrow your buying decision, we’re bringing you the pros and cons for the 4 most common types of cabin luggage for business travel. We’ve also listed a best in class option for each type at two price points: affordable and luxurious.
Pros:
– Lighter than most traditional luggage option with more storage
– May reduce your chances of having to check your carry on (easier to manoeuvre in an overhead compartment)
Cons:
– Much harder to carry (unless it has a rolling attachment)
– Lack of structure creates wrinkles in clothing
Affordable Option: Samsonite Rewind Duffle Bag 55cm
Luxurious Option: Montblanc Sartorial Jet Shell Duffle Bag
Pros:
– Most airport-friendly and easiest to transport long distances
– Well-structured and easy to pack
Cons:
– May need to be checked if cabin space is scarce
– Carrying on rough terrain or up stairs may be difficult
Affordable Option: IT Luggage World’s Lightest Small 4 Wheel Suitcase
Luxurious Option: Rimowa Topas Four-Wheel Cabin Suitcase
Pros:
– Easy to fit under the seat or in overhead compartments
– Easy to carry upstairs and through rough terrain and weather
Cons:
– May put strain on your back and shoulders and cause you to sweat in hot weather
– Business geared bags don’t fit a lot of stuff outside of electronics, so you may need to use in combination with another option on this list
Affordable Option: Osprey Fairview and Farpoint Backpacks
Luxurious Option: The Cambridge Satchel Company Bridge Closure Backpack in Leather
Pros:
– Perfect for quick trips as it’s light and easy to fit under the seat or in the overhead compartment
– Can be used in combination with duffles for a simple luggage solution (just place on top)
Cons:
– Not large enough for a standalone solution (won’t fit your clothing)
– Carrying on rough terrain or upstairs may be difficult with rolling types
Affordable Option: Barbour Wax Leather Tarras Bag
Luxurious Option: Aspinal of London The Anderson Large Messenger Bag

Richard is very responsive. For more than two years he has been arranging my flights within Europe.
At this stage, I must mention that the work I am tasking him with is very difficult. Often I notify Richard briefly before I need a flight or a re-arrangement. My schedule is a mix of long term and short term arrangements, which sometimes are cancelled or postponed. Richard manages to get me on feasible flights and I always count on him. He is very reliable and I see him as a problem solver.
Even when the pressure is on, Richard remains an accountable and reliable solution provider. He always goes by the books and doesn’t take short-cuts. I like working with Richard, who hasn’t dropped the ball, no matter which problem I tasked him with.
He got me on time to Bilbao last week, although EW was messing around with my extra payment for the luggage, until the gate was closed.
Another time he got me back to Düsseldorf from Stockholm, after a couple of rearrangements due to a short term cancelling of a scheduled appointment.
Richard seems to use the whole runaway of tools and processes in order to get the job done. I am a happy client.
