Is the Briggs & Riley Baseline Large Expandable Spinner worth $929?

If you check a bag often and want one suitcase for years, the lifetime guarantee that covers airline damage offsets the price. At $929 at Nordstrom as of November 3, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range, so you are paying for durability and service rather than a deal.

How much extra space does the expansion add?

It expands up to 22%, taking capacity from about 84 liters to roughly 106 liters. That is enough for a week of extra clothing or bulky items on the return trip.

Is it too big for most airlines?

At 28 x 20 x 12 inches it is a checked bag, not carry-on, and its expanded depth of 14.5 inches can exceed some airline limits. Check your carrier's checked-bag dimensions before a strict trip.

What is included in the box?

The suitcase comes with a TSA-approved combination cable lock. The garment folder and compression panels are built in.

How does it compare with the Briggs & Riley Baseline Medium Expandable Spinner?

The Large adds height and capacity for 7–14 day trips, while the Medium suits shorter trips and is lighter. Both share the ballistic nylon build, outsider handle and lifetime guarantee.

Only two stores list it new, and Briggs & Riley rarely discounts Baseline. Watch for department store sales events; otherwise the price stays close to $929.
