Mitchell loves traveling with the Béis The Front Pocket Carry-On ($248). "I like to have the easy-access pocket where I put my iPad, so it's easier going through TSA," she says. She loves the cushion handle that delivers a comfortable grip. "The little extra purse strap that's at the front part of it also allows me to hold a smaller bag or a last-minute gift at the airport."
Mitchell recommends packing a few days ahead and having everything laid out before you finalize what goes into your suitcase. "You're looking at it a little bit longer than doing it the day of or the hour before, as I have sometimes done. It allows you to look and think 'do I really need this piece?' or 'Oh, actually with this item, I might need this jacket,'" she says.
Pro Tip: Depending on your packing needs and travel situation, Mitchell recommends the regular Carry-On Roller, which is a bit larger without the front pocket. She uses this luggage when she has a lot more to pack and is already carrying a travel tote with a padded laptop sleeve.
