i use a travel pack. from Arcteryx. you zip up the shoulder straps so it looks and feels like a regular duffel. it is nice not to worry about loose straps getting caught in some conveyor belt or something. pull if off the belt or cart..unzip the shoulder straps, throw it on, and you are moving!! my wife has mostly commandeered it. one downside..if i had to pick one..is that it is a tad on the small side. but i travel light. you cannot buy a lot of souvenirs tho..
i also have a security bag i can drop a traditional backpack in. lets me lock it up so nobody can make me the unwilling mule for some white-powder into singapore..

Nice. Looked at a Briggs & Riley today -- rolling carry-on garment bag. Great design, really well made. $500 a bit much, but I was sorely tempted. Was impressed by the Hartmann stuff too (made in Wisconsin, IIRC) and, of course, Tumi.
Haven't seen or used any Arcteryx luggage/packs, but am a big fan of their alpine clothing -- some of the best around, in my opinion. Tough, light, thoughtfully designed, and very user friendly. Sounds like your pack is built the same way.
