1/20    I need to buy luggage.  I want something that I will be
        able to bring on the plane as carry-on luggage, but that I
        can easily fit a week or 2 of underwear, shirts, socks, and
        2 or 3 pairs of pants/jeans, a sweater or 2, plus a pair
        or 2 of shoes, and maybe a couple of books.  So I want
        something with the volume capacity probably at least 3 times
        as big as my normal backpack, but something that isn't
        bulky, so that I will easily be able to avoid having to
        check it at the airport.  Any suggestions as for where to shop,
        what to buy, or how much to expect to pay?
        \_ As long as you shop for plane tickets somewhere other than me,
           I don't care where you shop.  I hate people like you.
           \_ So you always check-in all your luggage?
           \_ If they didn't take half an hour to get my luggage to the
              baggage claim area, and if there was no such thing as lost
              or delayed checked luggage, then I'd be happy to check my
              bag.  It's people that take a full minute to stow their bags
              while people are trying to get on the plane behind them that
              bothers me, but that's another topic.  -op
        \_ You're not going to get that much capacity in a carry-on.  Costco
           has good luggage (with the fat zippers and wheels) at a good price.
        \_ Get the ebags professional 22" carry-on.  A little pricey but very
           nice: http://tinyurl.com/5pj35
        \_ You can't fit 2 weeks of clothes into a carryon. Bring a couple
           of days worth and wash clothes in your hotel room and/or have
           them done by the cleaning service.

com) from Colorado Springs "Actually I gave the bag to my friend Bob and then because my crew bag wa s falling apart I had to take it from him. I will be ordering another ba g for him in the next few days. Gail Herman Frontier Flight Attendant" Was this review helpful to you? com) from Sunnyvale, CA 176 of 181 people found the following review helpful. "I bought the ebag carryon after reading the testimonials of others. I wa nted a durable, well organized carryone that could last for 1-2 week bus iness trips. The ebag carryon arrived 1 day earlier than projected, whic h was a pleasant surprise. On initial inspection, I was surprised by the small size but I guess that's how they can make this a true carryon. De spite the small size, I found that I could pack enough clothing for a 7 day travel including shirts, shoes, and a suit. Sure, things got wrinkle d, but I have traveled with larger suitcases and the clothes get wrinkle d as well. As claimed, the bag fit easily onto the airplane storage bins without any problem. I like the handle at the bottom of the carry on to make lifting it a breeze. The handle grip and variable extension length are great features, and I have to admit that the carryon was able to mo ve through busy airports quietly and without alot of effort. The front e xterior zipper pouches seem a bit strange to me, though. I would have be en more comfortable with "square" pouches rather than the oval type but all in all, they work well and the zippers seem durable. I can easily mount my laptop ontop of the bag and wheel it through airports. I'd recommend this bag for those who are wil ling to sacrifice a bit of space for the convenience of a true carryon, and who are willing to pay the extra bucks for a bag that is well design ed and well organized." com) from Chicago, IL 133 of 141 people found the following review helpful. "I travel approximately 40 weeks per year, so my carry on bag is EXTREMEL Y important to me, as it's my closest companion. After reading the other reviews here, visiting luggage stores in the area, and searching thorou ghly online, I chose the eCrew22 Upright. the organi zation is ideal - I especially appreciate the 'wet' bag and the shoe slo ts. I can fit more in this suitcase than the slightly larger case that I 've used for the last 5 years. Overall this is bag is well worth the money, especially with the lifetim e guarantee. com) from Denver 108 of 117 people found the following review helpful. "Ok, maybe I'm biased because I work at eBags, but I recently took this b ag on a two week trip to Spain and it was perfect. The extra handle leng th was perfect (I'm 6'2") and the wheels were so smooth I could drag it down cobblestone streets and stone staircases. Normally, I would have br ought a backpack on a trip like that but this bag can go anywhere. I hav e the matching tote, which hooks on the back with the add-a-bag strap (I carry that one every day as a briefcase) and it is even easier to carry with it attached because it balances the load. The little handle on the bottom makes it easy to put up in the overhead compartment on the plane and get it down if you put the bag in backwards. It had all the space I needed for two weeks of travel and to bring back all sorts of wine, gif ts, chorizo, saffron, pate, olive oil, anchovy stuffed olives, sausage, etc... Even stuffed to the brim with all the heavy stuff it remained per fectly rigid and was very easy to handle. There is not one feature that I felt was missing and everything is made with the highest quality mater ials in the industry. If your shoes are larger than size 11 you may not be able to fit one pair in each shoe compartment, but you can split one pair and put one shoe in each compartment or you can stuff the shoes in the main compartment of the bag." No Date Posted: October 28, 2002 Reviewed By: ALLEN () from Philadelphia 56 of 65 people found the following review helpful. "When I received the bag, I initially thought it would be to small for tr ips longer than 1 day. The bag has more than enough room for 3+ days if you pack correctly. The quietness of the wheels alo ng with the ease of placing it in the overhead airline bins are also a p lus." com) from Pasadena, CA 49 of 63 people found the following review helpful. It handled the cold, m uddy and fast paced lifestyle of Moscow without a prob! This bag is perf ect for 1 week trips, and great for 2 week trips if you can pack light a nd wash your clothes 1 or 2 times."
