I just got back from a quick trip overseas and need to rethink my carry-on situation. 

I like being able to see everything with a glance, so rather than a deep backpack or vertical tote, I’m thinking of getting a duffle bag like this one from bag expert Baggallini. The bag has three large exterior pockets and a back sleeve slot for your luggage handle, while the roomy interior has enough room for whatever you need for a long weekend or overnight flight.

The Modern Everywhere Travel Duffel Bag is $150 at Nordstrom and comes in four neutral colors/patterns.
