I Own Dozens of Suitcases, but This One Changed the Way I Pack (It's So Clever)

"If you're someone who likes to travel but loathes checking a bag, I have a hunch you've likely found yourself sitting at an airport gate only to realize you need something from your carry-on suitcase. You try to subtly slip your hand inside to fish it out, but the effort is futile. You have no choice but to lay down and fully open the bag, revealing all of its contents for the whole airport to see. It's an unavoidable reality that comes with packing a carry-on only that opens clamshell style down the middle."

"This scenario happened to me recently. I was waiting for a flight when my lips felt terribly chapped. I needed my lip balm, which was hiding inside my toiletry bag, packed well within the confines of my carry-on. Usually, this is where I'd groan about having to open up the suitcase just to retrieve what was probably the tiniest object in there. Fortunately, I was using the Bagsmart's Getaway Front-Opening Carry-On - a suitcase that completely solves that middle-of-the-airport-opening-your-bag dilemma."

"Instead of opening clamshell-style down the middle, this 20-inch carry-on features a reinforced front-loading lid that opens while the suitcase is standing upright. Two bridge suspension straps hold the lid in place, giving you room to peer inside without the flap collapsing onto the floor. The interior is split roughly 70/30 with a spacious main compartment for your bulkier items and a smaller front section for everything else. A padded divider separates the two sides, fully zips shut, and doubles as a protective sleeve for both a laptop and a tablet."

Bridge suspension straps hold the lid open, allowing access without the flap collapsing. The interior is split roughly 70/30 with a spacious main compartment and a smaller front section. A padded divider fully zips shut and doubles as a protective sleeve for a laptop and tablet. The bag includes wet/dry pockets with a removable pouch, a dedicated AirTag holder, compression straps, and an expandable zip for added versatility. The design prevents the need to fully open the case in public.
