Carry on briefcase/bag

[PLANT]

Ok need a new carry on business bag on wheels.
Meets the height width rules.

Which one?
Where from website/store?
Cost....no budget just want the best at cheapest price!

I recently purchased a High Sierra wheeled backpack from this firm, and although you are after a business bag on wheels, they have heaps of product from which to select.

I was recommended one by Dot. I believe it has been replaced with this one:

I use it on just about every trip and I love it. Light and durable.

Cheers,

I also have an Antler carry-on I use for domestic flights. It is extremely light and strong, and more importantly it wheels smoothly through the terminal.

I'm assuming you don't want a specific documents/laptop carry on (eg expanding file storage, laptop pocket ) -such as http://www.luggagedirect.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1123 but rather a carry on for clothes and general items etc? For me, the most important bits are the size and weight.

I also have the 46cm Antler Litestream and find it great. I do find that the single handle can be a little frustrating though at times.

There looks to be a similar model here:

Havn't tried it out though, and not sure which is newer. Antler also have "2 handle" carry-ons, but they add about 800g to the bag's weight.

If you are in Brisbane, then LuggageDirect have a big showroom in West End. There are similar places in Sydney and other cities I believe. Also DFO often has a clearance luggage store.

Best to have an idea of what you want, then visit a large showroom and test out the lugguage as bags are really personal choice.

The most important thing IMO is to get the lightest bag possible for the functionality you need as you are only meant to have 7kg in total in the qantas overhead lockers - not sure about other airlines. I have an Antler wheely with a single handle - and I agree with Mal's comment that the single handle can be a bit annoying but I'm happy to put up with it for the lighter weight of the bag.

I too have just purchased the Antler single handle bag but as of yet no chance to try it out.

Got it from Bags Galore in CBR (hey that's my excuse for visiting Fyshwick and I am sticking to it ) for less than $90.

Took everything i want to put into the bag to the store to be sure it would actually fit before I purchased it.
