The first TSA-Friendly check-through bags were effective at getting you through security with your notebook quickly, but some were sorely lacking in the style department. Booq’s new Taipan lift covers the function AND style departments while also providing an effective way to stay organized on the go.

The Taipan lift can open 180 degrees. This means you may be able to move through airport security without having to remove your laptop. At the same time, Booq’s unique two-button feature creates a 30 degree opening that makes it easy to grab interior items while on the go without having to stop to open the whole bag. This allows you to access the contents quickly and easily. Booq includes a zippered trolley handle pass-through that allows the Taipanto slide over the handle of your rolling luggag. This leaves you a free hand to carry additional items. Moreover, the Taipan lift slides easily under the airline seat keeping you out of the battle for overhead compartment space.

In other words, the Taipan lift is a bag that is built for travel.
