Gadling Gear Review: Incase EO Travel Roller
Dec 17th, 2012 at 8:00AM: Choosing the proper luggage for travel can be a very personal experience. After all, with any luck you are selecting a travel companion that will be with you for many years to come and will accompany you on everything from weekend escapes to longer excursions abroad. A good set of luggage can be quite an investment too, which is why it needs to be stylish, versatile and durable. The new EO Travel ...Gadling Gear Review: Ozone Ultralight Roller Bag
Sep 17th, 2012 at 9:00AM: I look for three things in a roller bag. The bag should be easy to handle, easy to pack and be as light as possible. Osprey has tacked the weight issue head on with their new Ozone line of roller bags, and they score on handling and packability, too.
The bag comes in three sizes: an 18-inch (backpack size), a 22-inch (maximum carry-on size), and a 28-inch (you'll have to check this one, ...Gadling Gear Review: Vaya Pannier Hybrid Bicycle Bag
Jun 11th, 2012 at 9:00AM: Once upon a time I was a hardcore bicycle commuter. This means I still know what I like in bike gear because when you do enough time in the saddle, you get opinions about these things. Vaya makes good looking bike bags that will help you get your gear from point A to point B – and make it easy for you to carry your stuff around when it's off your bike. I checked out their Pannier Hybrid, a ...Gadling gear review: Hummingbird Carry-on Zip
Jan 9th, 2012 at 8:00AM: Picking the right bag to carry with us on our travels can be almost as important as selecting the items we put inside of it. Our baggage must be versatile, rugged, distinctive, and now days, easily fit inside an overhead compartment. The Carry-on Zip from Hummingbird meets all of those criteria, and then some, providing travelers with a simple, but very useful, bag for active excursions. ...Knocked up abroad: international travel with a baby
Nov 15th, 2011 at 10:30AM: This is the third in Knocked Up Abroad's guide to traveling with a baby. Before you go, see tips on planning travel and flying with a baby.
So you've decided to travel abroad with your new family addition, well done! You've chosen the best baby-friendly destination, packed light, and even survived the long flight. Now that you're on the ground, possibly recovering from jet lag and hopefully ...Five uses for carabiners (besides climbing)
Sep 4th, 2011 at 12:00PM:
I'm a big multi-tasker. I'm also tiny, cheap, and a "lite" traveler. Even when I'm going on the road for a couple of months, I somehow manage to cram it all in my backpack. I use a daypack for carrying my essentials (passport, credit cards, cash, documents, sunblock, sunglasses, water, etc..), but it's only so big. At 5'2" I don't like to haul around something the size of a parasitic twin.
...Moleskine notebooks introduces new bags, reading, and writing accessories
Apr 12th, 2011 at 9:30AM:
Few products (analog, at least) get travelers, writers, and artists as excited as Moleskine. The classic black Moleskine notebooks have been used by Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, and Oscar Wilde, as well as many a journaler and design-lover. A new collection unveiled this week at Milan's Salon del Mobile is the stuff of many travelers' dreams. The Reading, Writing, and Traveling series from ...Easy Luggage handling program for cruise passengers
Feb 6th, 2011 at 8:00AM: One of the great benefits of a cruise vacation is only having to unpack one time as your floating hotel goes from port to port, a big advantage over land vacations. But the cruise eventually comes to an end and we have to pack up and go hone. A relatively new service makes that whole process much easier.
The normal procedure for luggage handling at the end of a cruise has a lot of steps. Leave ...Five ways to keep your luggage safe through the airport
Mar 22nd, 2010 at 3:00PM: One of the biggest concerns expressed by first time flyers is in regards to luggage safety. Where does my luggage go after I check it at the counter? Who will handle it? Who will look through it? Will it even be on my flight?

All of these are valid ...If the shower cap fits, use it (for your shoes) - Packing tip
Feb 21st, 2010 at 10:48AM: Unless you're my grandmother (Hi, Grandma!!), you probably don't use the shower cap provided at some hotels for anything whatsoever. But, that little plastic cap with the elastic ring can be very useful when packing your bags.
Shoes are often cumbersome and tend to get in the way when trying to maximize your luggage. Take the shower cap from your hotel room (or one you've previously stolen from ...Make your bag stand out - Airplane tip
Jan 21st, 2010 at 12:49PM: Make your luggage stand out! Customizing your luggage prevents others from mistakenly picking it up and helps you spot your luggage faster.
Customizing your luggage need not be expensive. Inexpensive options include:
tieing brightly-colored ribbons to the handles of each piece of luggage;
affixing bumper stickers to the hard, external parts of bags;
wrapping multi-colored duct tape to ...Congress to investigate airline fees ... but not for your benefit
Nov 14th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Congress is digging into all those new airline fees. Extra bags, special check-in situations ... you name it. Before you start cheering on our lawmakers, though, you should know that they aren't doing this from a sense of consumer advocacy. Frankly, Congress doesn't give a damn how much you pay for air travel. But, it does care how you pay. Why? A cash-strapped government is wondering if it's ...Gadling gear review - Joey Totes durable reusable bags
Aug 26th, 2009 at 3:30PM: In this brief Gadling gear review, I'm going to introduce you to Joey Totes. These good looking bags are made of rip-stop nylon, the kind of material most commonly used in outdoor apparel (and very similar to parachute fabric). The bags caught my attention for a number of reasons - they fold up into themselves, they are extremely durable, and they are environmentally friendly (making them a great ...New from Tom Bihn bags - the Tri-Star
Apr 28th, 2009 at 7:30PM: Darcy over at Tom Bihn bags has been teasing me for over 2 months about a new bag Tom has been working on. The only speck of information they were willing to reveal about the Tri-Star was that it would be a three compartment bag, and that its size would fall between their Western Flyer and Aeronaut bags. This afternoon, they finally revealed the product, and posted a bunch of photos (with Tom ...Recycled leather unisex carry-on by Ashley Watson
Apr 15th, 2009 at 6:30PM: Maybe fashion is the last thing you think about when you're going to the airport -- or maybe it's the second to last thing, right before the environment. Well, if you're cool enough to read Gadling, then you're cool enough to travel in style, and why not be eco-conscious about it while you're at it? Pictured at right is the Ashley Watson Cormorant -- a unisex, totally gorgeous 11" x 16.5" recycled ...Product review - ZUCA Pro rolling luggage
Feb 19th, 2009 at 1:30PM:
Before I introduce you to the ZÜCA Pro, let me open with an admission - I am a luggage junkie. I have a closet completely devoted to all the various bags I have collected over my many years of traveling.
Now that is out of the way, let me introduce you to something I can only describe as the coolest bag I've ever come across - and this is coming from someone who has often spent over ...Product review - The Cruising Caddy
Feb 9th, 2009 at 1:30PM: By now, I'm sure most of you are used to my product reviews involving items with buttons and lights. Still, every now and then I'll run into a product that is not battery operated, but interesting enough to warrant a closer look. The BVT Products Cruising Caddy is a travel tote and water bottle holder. The product is roomy enough to hold a 1.5 liter bottle and has 2 pockets on the outside for the ...Daily deal - Tumi yearly clearance sale - up to 50% off
Jan 8th, 2009 at 4:30PM: My daily deal for today is for the yearly clearance sale in the Tumi luggage store. Tumi makes some pretty classy (and usually quite expensive) luggage, but it is the kind of stuff that can survive almost any kind of abuse you throw at it. I've been pulling the same Tumi rolling suitcase around the airport since 2000, and while it may look like it's been to hell and back, it's still solid as a ...Daily deal - Swiss Gear Montreaux backpack for $8.54
Dec 27th, 2008 at 11:00AM: My daily deal for today is for the Swiss Gear Montreaux technical daypack. This high quality bag has 2 side pockets, one large main compartment and an iPod/mp3 player pocket with a headphone pass-through jack. The bag is available in several colors, but to get the low price of $8.54, you'll have to select pink, red, black or gray, if you select any of the other colors, the price will shoot up to ...Is the TSA too rough with your stuff?
Dec 19th, 2008 at 3:00PM: While waiting in line, just about everyone bitches and moans about the airport security screening process. But of the over 500 million fliers this year, only 12,000 have filed official complaints with the Transportation Security Administration. The rest of us just air our grievances on our blogs. The number one complaint this year is that the TSA screeners mishandle personal property. This ...
