Perfect short trip carry on bag loaded with thoughtful features!
The Biaggi Runway Hardside Hybrid Carry On is a great bag! Perfect for those short trips and loaded with thoughtful, useful features.
I used to have a favorite 'short trip' bag but the manufacturer stopped making them. I was able to pick up a couple spares from the usual reseller sites but knew the day would come where I would need a reliable replacement. Found it! The Biaggi Runway Hardside Hybrid Carry On was obviously designed by someone who makes a lot of short trips on smaller aircraft with tiny overhead bins. This bag fits on any RJ with ease.
The bag is rugged yet extremely light. The hybrid nature and ability to expand ensures that you will have enough cargo space for up to a weeks worth of travel (for me) and everything inside is well protected.
The wheels are robust and the handle feels solid. I probably will never use the built in TSA lock but it does hold the zipper pulls out of the way nicely. The little hook on the side for holding your lunch until you get to the gate is a bonus and the fold out soft holder for a water bottle, cell phone, banana or whatever is genius.
I've put a few thousand miles on this bag and it still looks like I pulled it out of the box. I'll let you know how it's held up when its seen a 10K miles or more.
If you take short trips and want a solid, highly functional, compact/lightweight bag, this is the one.
