Airports With New Stacking System For Rolling Luggage

/PRNewswire/ -- In the last 15 years, millions of travelers have switched to
rolling bags, which are convenient -- until you try to stack a smaller wheeled
bag on top of another wheeled bag. Then the problems start.
"You try to loop the bag's shoulder strap over the handle, and pretty soon
the top bag is swinging out to the side, thumping your shins, banging other
travelers. It can be pretty annoying," says Jim Lahren, vice president of
marketing at Briggs & Riley, a travel solutions company.
Briggs & Riley's revamped @work line eliminates this problem. It features a
side-mounted panel that can be positioned as needed to firmly secure a smaller
wheeled bag to the handle of a larger wheeled bag.
Lahren says it takes just two seconds to twist and secure the
connecting panel. Short, powerful elastic cords, which are concealed under the
panel when not in use, secure the smaller bag to the pull-up handle of the
larger rolling bag.
In addition to the interlocking handle, additions to Briggs &
Riley's @work line continue the collection's emphasis on meeting the needs of
the business traveler. Many bags have specialized features, such as:
Quick access front pocket stores important items -- especially
useful
when traveling through airport security.
* Organizer section with padded pockets for high-tech
gadgets.
* Ergonomic shoulder strap for comfort.
* Removable accessory pouches for necessities.
* Elastic, hideaway ID card to conceal personal
information.
The new @work collection is not only tech-friendly, but bags are
on average 20 percent lighter than previous editions. That is no small comfort
for the road warriors who are among the company's most loyal customers. We know
what it's like to run for that taxi, that shuttle and that faraway gate in the
next terminal," Lahren says. "If our bags can make your work day a little easier
and more successful, we've accomplished our mission."
