It’s easy to spot a seasoned business traveler going through airport security: there’s no fumbling for baggie-enclosed liquids, laptops are smartly stored for quick accessibility, shoes are slipped off with haste, and most telling of all is their covetable carry-on suitcase. When heading out for a work-related trip, it’s important to have a piece of luggage that not only matches a two-piece suit, but can also store it—with a computer and overnight necessities to boot.
