Lots of good suggestions here.
For the entire travel setup, do people usually have 2 or 3 bags? I'm trying to travel in the fewest items possible:
1. Main travel luggage
2. Flight bag
3. Dedicated cooler (how big?)
Or, do you get an integrated flight bag cooler (like Luggage Works has) to only have 2 bags?
Does this vary greatly dependent on fleet? I feel like the 737 would be difficult to travel with 3 total bags, but maybe not so much on the 7ER.

Lugging around a 3rd bag sucks no matter what fleet you're on. I've stuck with just the normal luggage and a backpack which has been great, minus the food option. I'm looking to try the one of the cooler/flight back combos to replace the backpack, just not sure it's big enough to carry the extra stuff I like to have with me in the cockpit.

The TravelPro 22” FlightCrew bag has been my favorite. It’s a great compromise between weight, cost, and durability. As long as you don’t consistently overstuff the bag, they last a long time. That being said, the wheels will probably need to be replaced within a year or two.

That’s why I just stick with dry food. The coolers don’t really work THAT well, and there’s no way I’m taking 3 bags, because that just sucks.
I’ve had a couple of the flight totes from LW, and I like them. Large central compartment to store most of my things, with smaller pockets for the little stuff (passport, etc). Both the Aurora flight tote and the Stealth flight tote are nice.

22" suitcase on sale for $80
You're not going to find a better bag at that price. The Briggs and Riley might be a better bag, but not 5X more expensive better.

I had a luggage works for ten years, went to a Briggs and Riley and haven’t looked back, only about $100 more. Easier to get into just about any overhead burn. I can fit more stuff in it and is way lighter. And when you want to be stealthy it doesn’t scream I work for the airlines
