- the extra bag hook is attached permanently but can be hidden in a pocket at the top. Don’t have to take it off when the bag has go in cargo
- inside the lid there’s a full length and width storage compartment about 1” thick that is nice for segmenting clothing items
- cockpit storage in my aircraft is 22” high giving each pilot 11”. This bag is 10” but has a unique ratcheted expansion to take it to 11” when working or up to 14” for other traveling
- handles are flush to the bag so the side one doesn’t get hung up on the side of the bag storage compartment
- there’s a third handle at the bottom of the bag so if you stow the bag top first you can easily pull it out
- the wheels were moved out to the very edge which gives it more stability and removed the housings from the storage area of the bag

In fact I had to buy it. Got a great deal at Christmas.

Agreed. Used a LW Stealth for 4 years and finally saw the light. Briggs and Riley Baseline Domestic Carry On is the way to go. 20% discount for airline employees as well.
