Runway Hardside Hybrid Carry On

Thumbs up!

The bag fits the description on the website. I have only had a chance to use it one time, but it fits the airline restrictions on size for carry-on luggage. The wheels glide smoothly and it’s easy to zip and expand. I really like the front pocket opening for easy access to essentials.

So far, so good

It is cute! I have not used it on a plane yet. I like the access to the laptop and the water bottle holder, but I have not tried them out yet. I used as a weekend bag and I am still getting used to it.

Super Stylish Lightweight Carry-On Roller

Pros: *Super stylish carry-on roller suitcase. Love the color (Navy blue), love how it looks. *Top loading, which is what I wanted in a carry on (and hard to find as most suitcases these days are ‘clamshell’ style. *Very light compared to models of similar size. We were spending 17 days in Europe with only carry-on luggage, moving every 2-3 days. Having the suitcase be as light as possible before packing was a HUGE plus. *The suitcase rolled very easily, very easy to move and navigate airports, streets, etc. Wheels were quiet on hotel lobby floors and even outdoors on city streets. *The handle telescoped up/down very smoothly with a nice feel to it (didn’t feel cheap or shaky). *Suitcase held up well. I was concerned the soft-sided areas would look beat up along the way, but not the case. It looks as good post-trip as it did when it arrived in its box. Cons: *The compression straps inside the suitcase were useless. To pack the suitcase, you had to move the straps out of the way. However, they were too short and not adjustable. It was impossible to move them out of the way long enough to put items in the suitcase. As a result, the straps stayed inside, which then made them difficult to fish out after packing. We were moving from city to city every 2-3 days on our trip – which meant packing and repacking every couple of days. I quickly became frustrated with the straps and abandoned my attempt to use them. *The laptop sleeve on the outside of the suitcase is not practical. If you fill up your suitcase, there is very minimal room in the laptop sleeve, certainly not enough leeway for a laptop or iPad. Believe me, I tried. No Opinion: *Bottle holder. Didn’t use it as my backpack had a more accessible pocket for my water bottle. *The cute little hook that you were supposed to hang things from. Didn’t use it. Overall: Overall, I liked and enjoyed my hybrid carry-on suitcase. I will certainly use it again. IMO these bags are a little pricey, but I enjoyed my experience with the Runway Hybrid enough to now purchase the larger size for my next trip – which is NOT carry-on only (thank goodness!).
