Britto by Heys laptop case

There may be many modern ways that make getting from point A to point B easier.  However, the necessary travel restrictions that have come since security and airline budgets have tightened makes efficient packing even more important.  Staying within the bag size limit for carry-ons is critical for the business traveler or the budget traveler who does not want to pay to check bags in. But, those are not the only concerns.  Add to the list getting through security quickly, carrying gear for kids, keeping your tech gadgets safe from destruction, not exceeding the carry-on limit, and finding your luggage quickly at the carousel.  It’s not an easy task.  There are luggage and laptop bag choices that make travel easier. 

• Wheeled luggage- Probably the oldest trick in the book, a wheeled luggage piece or laptop case makes running through airports easy and it gives a huge break to your back.   For checked luggage, Rimowa rolling luggage is a favorite of international travelers.  The polycarbonate is not only slick looking, it is lightweight and virtually indestructible.  There is the added bonus of TSA compliant locks, which keep your belongings safe in transport.  If a soft side is more your style, check out the Mandarina Duck luggage collection, that offers several shapes and colors. 
• Easy to stow – Restrictions on the number of carry-ons has tightened to one plus one personal item, so you better make your bag count.  For the ladies, we really like a laptop bag that has dual purpose as a handbag, such as the Gina B bella laptop bag.  This will fit under the seat in front of you and leave you allowance for one more bag in the overhead (translation – don’t check a bag if you do not have to).  Another bag that saves on storage space but packs a punch with what it fits is the Urban Junket eco-friendly laptop tote and backpack.  Offered in two sizes and multiple colors, a ton fits in this fashionable tote bag.
•   Easy to see -  When it’s your turn to pull your bag from the luggage carousel, you want to know that it is yours.  Since an overwhelming percentage of bags are black, an easy solution is to switch up the color.  You won’t miss a Britto by Heys luggage piece, since the shell is covered in the renowned artwork of artist Romero Britto.  If that is a little too far from black for you, try the Work collection from Mandarina Duck, which is offered in a mellow blue and a deep burgundy, both colorful but sophisticated.
• Fun for kids – Anyone who has traveled with kids knows that they have a short attention span.  Anything that you can do to make travel fun and also recruit their labor to help you carry everything through the airport will help.  The Disney by Heys kids luggage collection features a fun look with all of a kid’s favorite Disney characters.  The bags are small enough that children can pull them themselves, and the bright patterns make it easy to spot the bag (or the child) from afar.  Like Luggage has brightly patterned duffels and wheeled luggage that was designed by a teenager, so it has a younger appeal without being too juvenile. 
• TSA compliant – The most frequent of business travelers have getting through security at airports down to a science.  One of the secrets is choosing a TSA compliant laptop bag, which means the laptop can stay in the bag while it goes through the x-ray machine.  Since security requires most every article of clothing come off, each little step that one can save helps with timing.  This makes bags like the brenthaven stylus checkpoint friendly laptop case ideal.  They open flat with the laptop isolated in one compartment and everything else in the others.
• Gadget storage – Laptops are not the only gadgets that have to go through the x-ray.  Rather than pulling everything out separately or having different storage bags for each, we recommend a bag that has enough pockets to store everything.  The mcklein armitage laptop backpack with removable sleeve has pockets for a phone, iPad, and as the name implies, a removable laptop sleeve.  The headphone port allows headphones to stay in the bag and then for them to attach to a iPod without any extra effort.
