Jetting Off In Style: 2010 Carry-ons

Luggage used to be a long-term commitment. But now with new colors, two and four wheelers, high-tech locks, and techno-smart hard sided cases, it's time to upgrade.

The new metallic blue Crown Edition by Heys BioCase has what's dubbed "fingerprint access to locked bags." This means that only the owner's fingerprint will unlock the bag. The shell is sleek, futuristic and nearly indestructible as its made from 100 percent German polycarbonate. The case comes with a U.S.B. cord and power adapter you can use to recharge the lock when necessary. $2,200, www.heyusa.com/crown.
