I got a really nice leather briefcase with extension handle and wheels. I carry my clothes and other personal effects in a gym-size bag (round duffel with shoulder strap), and just wheel both bags along behind me.</font>
Not leather, but I grabbed one of the last one of these at Target. Its huge, expandable in durable fabric, with pockets galore and padding inside for a laptap. The best part was the extending handle, to wheel it, iss so tall!
I was thinking this would be great to bypass all the new rules, have this and a carry-on, but I have found that, at least on AA, unless you were really pushing it, people were allowed on with the usual stuff, an overstuffed backpack and a wheeled carry-on.
I'm returning the briefcase, unused, as I have found it too masculine for me (as I said its very large with tons of pockets). It originally cost $60, and I think that is too much to waste holding onto something that I may never have the opportunity to use.
