Luggage suggestions
Hi I’m a new hire on the 74. Just seeking suggestions for luggage options to keep things light, any popular bag models that crew like? Any suggestions where to get a good deal on Bose headsets?
Thx

On a 747? May as well travel in comfort...

I had the Luggage Works 22”, and loved it for the most part. Replaced it with a Travel Pro 22” Expandable and it offers a bit more room and is noticeably lighter. The LW is 5 lbs heavier but will probably last longer since it’s got all that protective metal around the edges. As for a headset, these are freighters with significant amount of noise, get one, your ears and grandkids will thank you.

I have the Stealth Premier 22" from Luggage Works. I probably overpack, but it has worked out well. I have squeezed it into the overheads on the E170 and old 737s, but opt for the gate valet when I can get it. It holds 8 days of socks, briefs, and t-shirts, along with 3 work shirts and trousers, sneakers and casual shoes, jeans, and three casual shirts. I carry jackets on the outside. Easier to pack when everything is clean.

I never understood the love for the LW bags. The frame gets bent too easily and it’s heavy AF. But I guess it appeals to guys that just want a beefy manly looking bag. I switched to the Travel Pro FlightCrew 22” pilot bag and its held up far better than any LW ever did.
