Get a large enough flight bag that carries a laptop. Much easier. I use to carry a backpack in addition to my roller and flight bag. What a pain! I consolidated down to my flight bag which can carry a lot of stuff including my large laptop (great for watching movies). I picked up a small "Royal Bag" in Osan, Korea (free embroidering) that fits on top of my roller. Much better now maneuvering from hotel, crew van, security, airplane, etc....
