Flight Bags

I do admit that I am a bag queen. Having spent the last 30 years of my life living out of one, I don’t mind spending some of that widebody scrip to have a nice one.

There’s plenty of industry discounts to be had on it, just gotta search around.

Ok so I got a bag. You mentioned wheels on Amazon. Two questions. What wheels and what’s wrong with what’s on there now?

Go walk with it down a long hallway at pilot speeds.

Anybody use a four wheel (spinner) bag? Thinking about one of B&R’s

Yeah but what specifically? Like am I going to just be annoyed on a 3 day or is my suitcase going to be a disaster?

Those bags should be banned. Everyone walks in the terminal with them two feet from their side and they block everyone from getting by. A couple walking together will take up the width of a terminal because of those stupid bags. Sorry, pet peeve.

They are wider than usual wheels and have more rolling resistance.

Check the luggage thread - there’s a link to the replacement wheels on Amazon. $20. Worth it. I did same on my B&R and it made a difference .

Show us on the "roller-board" where the bag hurt you

I know this may be borderline blasphemous, but I love my Tumi set (Continental size Alpha roller bag and laptop briefcase) that I've been using since my days flying corporate. That ballistic nylon material is pretty much indestructible and cleans up really well. 7 years on the roller and coming up on 10 for the briefcase and they look as good as new, even after getting crushed by the airstair door on a G-IV. I know the price is eye watering but it's a great case for "buy once, cry once" and you don't look like a typical airline pilot. Plus I like the 4 wheels.
