I mainly use it for work travel, COVID curtailed travel somewhat but it is still my go to for anything where I am away for 3-7 days. I specifically got the smaller version so it could be accommodated on just about any airline. Still recommend the carry on for sure! The new flex options might be great if you are thinking of adding more stuff to the bag, but that might put you oversize for some airlines. I definitely recommend it, I will still use the Briggs and Riley for a 2 week trip, but for a week the Away is probably the best roller I have had. That will take it to about 100 days ownership, and so far no issues with wheels, handles or zips! It is currently on the way to Turkey with me and will be going the the UK, Greece and Italy next month. So far it has been to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, indonesia, South Korea, New Zealand, Calgary and Colorado. For the next generation a slide lock on the cover might be the way to go. The battery can't fall out if the handle is down, but when up the battery could be removed. The cover sometimes does not clip and hold well, so the cover works loose. I have one niggle with the battery compartment. ![]() It rolls smoothly, the handle is sturdy and the zip, which I was a little concerned about, is absolutely fine. I got the small cabin bag, which weighs about 6.4#, and I can fit clothes in for a week and it weighs about 15#. ![]() Both airlines limit carry on weight to 7kg (which probably means 7.9 kg if you want to risk it. I needed a smaller, lighter case to make travel on SIA and Emirates easier than with my B&R bag.
