The bags carried in the store are the spinner type. The traditional one can be found online.

Copy, that's the one I remember everyone recommending.

Read the reviews on the Kirkland before you buy it. Apparently it’s very different from the original bag that everybody loved.

UAL employees can sign up for 50% off eagle creek stuff. Not sure if other airlines have the same deal.

I see that. I have the old one.

Wtf $90 tax
Pulled out my receipt and it was $369.99 + tax. Sorry about that. Guess I’m used to rounding prices down to share the sale price with my husband. :o

The Briggs and Riley is also a quality looking item, but wow, that's a steep price. Out of the suggestions above, the Kirkland special has to be the value leader. So I think I'll look for a smokin' deal on a B & R (Craigslist or eBay perhaps) or take the Costco unit for a test drive, as I know returning it would be a breeze. Again, much appreciated.
That's what I did. I can pick up two used Briggs & Riley off Ebay for the price of one Luggage Works. The 22 Baseline is about all you need, preferably with the garment/suiter option. Works great and everything is high quality.

I’ve been using a Patagonia MLC bag for my transcon commute for years. Great piece of gear. Going abroad I use a single Patagonia Black Hole Bag. 60L size. I could stay gone for an entire season with just that. I too prefer to not be recognized as a pilot when commuting/non-reving.

While working I’ll never use anything but the Purdy Neat bags.

AAFES has discounts on B&R bags if you qualify. Prices are similar to the crew discount, but tax free. I've heard great things about their customer service FWIW.

Just back from a 12 day Euro trip. I went with this Ripcurl Suitcase. https://www.ripcurl.com/us/shop/men/...gage/#Midnight

Great bag, very light weight. Has zippered mesh on each side to separate. A large padded external zipper for laptop. And a great material incase its raining to keep bag dry (perfect for those El Salvador surf trips!)

Good luck!!

Baja.
