Bag recommendations
 
I have a 16" MacBook Pro I'm carrying in a third bag on the road. Any recommendations on a single bag that could accept that laptop, plus EFB, Clarity Aloft headset box, and all the other typical pilot items? If it's the right bag, price isn't too much of an issue. I use the standard size LW RON bag for reference.

I carry a 15.6" laptop and use the Luggageworks Stealth Premier Multi-Purpose Cube. It works well. While it has a large built-in cooler, I typically don't use it as a cooler, just as more storage.

The actual dimensions of my laptop are 14" x 10.5" and it fits perfectly. I googled the 16" macbook pro dimensions it shows 14.01" x 9.77", so if that's what you have, it'll fit.

I use a Brightline. Customizable in size.

If you wanna go the backpack route the Briggs and Riley medium cargo backpack works nicely. We get a nice discount through Altman Luggage in NYC.

If you're former .mil, especially AF, the brightline bag is compulsory.

This! I still have one that was given to me over 25 years ago. That thing has been through a lot and I haven't had to do a thing to it.

Wouldn't be caught dead dragging one of those around. Seems to be more of the former CFI and flow types based on my anecdotal evidence.

I often find brightline bags paired it with long sleeve uniform shirts.
