Hi Wise People:

I am finding myself traveling again in situations where I need to carry 2 suits and for various reasons have ruled out some of my old approaches. I've never seen a 22 inch rollaboard that can take 2 suits (many do 1 suit well) so I'm contemplating several strategies and could use your feedback. Here are my constraints:

1) Need to pack two suits- I fly West Coast US to London for work a lot and that's too long of a trip to travel in one with the other packed IMHO.
2) No Bundle Packing- I own an Air Boss and when I was going to one place for 3 or 4 days it was fine. Lately I seem to bounce around a lot more and re-doing the bundles gets tedious. Not to mention, more walking and public transit and I find it heavy over long distances.
3) Suit Size - I'm about a 46R- I notice this is SLIGHTLY too big (length and width) for a lot of garment bags I have tried, like the TravelPro Trifold
4) I don't want a two wheeled rolling garment bag that can't roll down an airplane aisle.
5) I carry workout clothes, sneakers, shirts/ties/underwear for 3 o4 4 working days, or alternatively, I wear sneakers on the plane and pack dress shoes. But no matter what, I'm carrying a set of shoes.
6) For certain settings I need to carry a small briefcase (not my big Air Duffel from Waterfield, or my Peak Backpack)...if the suits involve 2 bags, need to save room for a briefcase.

Here are some things I have considered:

1) Keep carrying my 22 inch spinner (Away Aluminum) as it travels well and add a trifold type garment bag as my personal item. Cons: Need to put briefcase in the spinner, and garment bags so far (Travelpro) are a little tight. Maybe consider Tumi trifold as it's bigger.

2) Go back to my 22 inch 2 wheeler (Nomatic) which has a "electronics and folders" carrying front sleeve, and top it with something like a Henty rollup, or potentially a Lat56 Red Eye (I had the LAT56 folder and loved it till it was lost). Cons: Still need to pack and unpack briefcase, and I'm not clear if the Henty or Red Eye can hold two suits. I suppose one could go in the roll aboard.

3) Get a dedicated suit-carrying rollaboard- I'm looking at the Hook and Albert and the Vocier. Cons: Unclear if they can really deal with 2 46R suits. Also, as they are overall a little small, I'd need to carry a bigger briefcase or maybe my Tom Bihn Tri-Star as a personal item to be able to carry everything. Which then necessitates cramming in a small briefcase for situations where those huge bags don't work, adding to overall weight.

The last thing I've considered is topping the 22 inch rollaboard with something like the Hook and Albert weekender or the Briggs garment duffel. Cons- those things are BIG as a personal item, and unlike a garment bag, no way for the FA to hang them in a closet in flight, so they would have to do a killer job of keeping stuff unwrinkled.

Has anyone squared this circle?
