in the market for a good sized, carry-on luggage bag. i have looked at a few different styles (wheeled, duffel, etc) and i am getting to the pointy end of my decision.
two bags towards the top of my list are linked below:
caribee skymaster 40
http://www.snowys.com.au/Travel/Luggage/Sky-Master-40-Carry-On-Black.aspx?c=11&sc=86&id=2958&utm_source=search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=search (http://www.snowys.com.au/Travel/Luggage/Sky-Master-40-Carry-On-Black.aspx?c=11&sc=86&id=2958&utm_source=search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=search)

http://www.ospreypacks.com/au/en/product/porter-46-PORTER46_703.html (http://www.ospreypacks.com/au/en/product/porter-46-PORTER46_703.html)
bag needs to be able to hold clothes for 3-4 days, maybe a pair of shoes (not counting the ones i wear on the plane), budget is around $150...
different modes of carry are important (backpack, shoulder strap, etc), wheeled is not a definite requirement...
i am leaning towards the caribee, mainly for price..
anyone have a bag that they really like? one they have but don't like?
thoughts and opinions from frequent flyers appreciated.

I found out a few years ago too that different inter airlines have different carry on size limits. A few have been caught out. Check your regular carrier and any you might need in the future.

I find i only get a few years out of each bag when travelling frequently
The lighter the bag the better... i've had my carry on weighed at bag drop

I've got a Karrimoor (English Brand) 30L trekking rucksack that is coming up on 16 years old now and just starting to wear out. Works well for short business trips and for bush trekking. I used it for a month's backpacking around Cambodia and Laos and it held everything I needed. And I still use it today for work trips. I never had an issue with it being prevented from being used as carryon.
I like having something that has dual purpose and this suits that need. I prefer backpacks with decent hip belts if you are using it for bushwalking. Takes the weight off your shoulders a bit.
Top opening hasn't been much of an issue on business trips if you pack right (and hotels have irons). I like the side pockets as you can stick the stuff in there that you need to get to quickly - eg aerosols that airport security don't like.
Problem with the usual trolley dolly wheeled bags is that they're heavy (2-3kg) and you only get 7kg on Qantas, so if they weigh you, you could be in trouble.
Its similar in design to this but in a different brand: http://int.berghaus.com/freeflow-25-rucksack/421597.html (http://int.berghaus.com/freeflow-25-rucksack/421597.html)
Its also keeps the pack off the back to help keep it cool - I think they call it 'airspace' now. http://www.karrimor.com/rucksacks/airspace-rucksacks (http://www.karrimor.com/rucksacks/airspace-rucksacks)

As others have said, I'm a big believer in light bags for the ability to carry the most stuff as hand luggage - I do the same with my main hold baggage as well; I reckon my 2-3kg duffle bag is about half the weight of the roller bags and hard suitcases.
For the day pack option, I'd look at one of the Summit Packs (http://www.summitgear.com.au/day-packs/); I always liked the look of their kit as it was made in Katoomba.

Post by: paceman on June 16, 2016, 07:40:26 PM
As per the advice above, be careful of size and weight. Domestic carry-on is smaller than international carry-on. The crew/check-in staff can also get picky about the weight. That Caribee looks like US carry-on size rather than AU carry-on.
just double-checked the carry-on limits for jetstar (115cm) and virgin (105cm) and the caribee (105cm) complies, based on linear dimensions:

I use a Black Wolf backpack as checked luggage, carry on is the Akubra and the iPad. But then I only go away for 6-8 weeks.

Backpacks for domestic travel can be a PITA. Keep it simple, you'll only fill the extra pockets up with crap that you carry everywhere and never use. Same with an iPad or laptop bag, less is best.
I've just converted to one of these and have a second one now for swmbo. Duffle bag and shoulder pack in one. We don't use them as a full backpack as pictured, but do on occasion use one shoulder strap in an over shoulder style.
Never had mine full, but can accommodate 1 night to 4 nights away packed clothes.

I have checked my bag in for years. Just throw the laptop bag under the seat in front. When landed grab it get of the plane and wait a whole 2 minutes for bag gives me enough time to grab a coffee S well. I then chuckle at everyone slamming in suitcases on top of laptop :)

My tip (I've been flying interstate nearly every week for 25+ years) get a bag with the least amount of extra pockets or zippers as possible.

Our bags of that sort vary from 70 litre (24kg) to 120 litre (32kg-ish) depending on what we've put in there exactly; sometimes the bigger bags are better for bulky things (mine came over with 2x Exped megamat 10LXW's in it) so they aren't always as heavy as they seem.
Also, I'm a big believer in a the nature abhors a vacuum, the more space you have, the more likely you are to fill it with

this is the medium size i have been looking at...
https://rushfaster.com.au/product/the-north-face/medium-69l-base-camp-duffle-2015-bomber-blue-cosmic-blue/12124/
technically, it is bigger than the carry-on linear dimensions, but being a duffel, it can be compressed if not too full...
you've never had an issue as carry-on on jetstar or virgin?
Post by: scrapsD40 on June 17, 2016, 07:04:15 AM
thanks, mate...Based on the dimensions 64x35x35, and scale against the human silhoette, pretty sure that's the size I have and similar to a couple of older duffle style bags I've used. Never been questioned on either Q or V, but as you said, I've never had it bulging even if full of clothes for 4 days.

The other tip I can offer is think carefully about any shoes you might pack. They are what takes the most space and I just take a pair of thongs in summer and casual slip ons in winter. Also stuff your sox and undies into your shoes.

Also what's with men's toilet bags? For some reason the world thinks men have to have a brick size bag to carry a comb/brush, toothbrush/toothpaste, and shaver. Took me years, but finally found the Japanese shops (muji) sell perfect size shaver/toilet bags for men (obviously exclude the scissors etc)

I typically travel domestic with a carry-on duffle. It's an Eddie Bauer bag I picked up in the US. It has a main compartment and 2 end compartments, one end is for shoe storage and the other end I use for toiletries bag. I pack all socks/jocks in a mesh cube bag to keep them together and roll the rest of my clothes and pack them in the main compartment. Being a soft duffle you can typically jam it into a full over head locker vs. the solid style that can be a pita. I can go away for a day or a week with this bag. Only issue is if you're stuck in a line it can get heavy as you need to hold onto it and can't roll it.
thanks for the input, mate... the softness of the bag is a plus for me, for the reasons you and others have mentioned...
have you got some rough measurements for the bag?
is it something like this:

I suppose this long ramble is saying, depending on who you are flying with, be careful about the weight. Second point is that with the Brisbane Tiger flight (was actually early), there must have been only about 20 bags off the flight and we would have taken about 2 minutes longer to leave compared to us not taking any checked luggage ($15 a bag).

I have just found and purchased the ultimate carry-on/laptop bag, best part is the side laptop pocket for a quick in/out of the laptop for airport security. Very comfy shoulder strap for throwing over one shoulder, handle for carrying is also comfy. I can keep all my items required during travel in the front section. In the middle section you can get a good couple of days worth of clothes, it also includes mesh zip sections and it expands if you need more room. Can be used for business or pleasure travel without looking out of place. I was almost tempted to also buy the check-in suitcase version as well...

$345 bucks over rated. As a frequent traveller I have a simple $50 suitcase but I always check it in over fighting for overhead cabin space & I find that most the time I'm at the hire car counter next to the guys who carried on their baggage comes out quick these days. A simple slim laptop bag is also the go quick to get out through checkin, when seated throw laptop in seat pocket and bag under front seat.
I've had the 1 suitcase fits all
The 1 laptop bag fits all
The 1 backpack fits all
Now back to this config

That's what the wife said. I tried to sell it via the lifetime warranty, she wasn't having any of it.
I've acquired 'free' bags via my previous employer over the last 14 years. This is the first bag I've actually purchased, other than my trusty Samsonite suitcase that I bought 16 years ago.

I am also a spinner fan as well ! I found the perfect bag up in Japan but my bloody card stopped working! It was a samosnite but not available here. Basically they are all going this way with separate front compartments for laptops so it's straight out at security. Check out the blue bag or what ever it's called! I had that idea years ago has GPS tracking and a geo fence around it!!! Only problem is it's about 5.5 kg by itself before you load it.
If you travel in the exit aisle you can't have your laptop in the pocket. A tablet is okay but not a laptop, even though they maybe the same size Ffs! I just ordered a new X1 yoga so hoping it'll fool em as a tablet!

It's US based so some suggestions wont work here, but it has some good principles to follow
