How did you get the 20% off? I didn't see anywhere on their site that mentioned it. Did you call or email?

Email their customer support through their website, tell them your are an airline pilot inquiring about their discount program. They'll get back to you. I heard about it from another thread here.

Been really happy with my Contrails flight bag so far. I have the smaller one and it fits both my company iPad and Macbook just fine.

This holds a ton of stuff, and has two big external pockets on the ends for a big crew water bottle, and my Tervis tumbler. All kinds of pockets to squirrel stuff away:

In the ipad sleeve, I stuff my ipad in one of these for added protection and for carrying separate:

These are nice gloves to do walk-arounds with:

What about an "NDB" carrier? There's no way I'd be seen with the "Star Trek Tri-quarter" bag, (yeah big secret!!), hanging on my shoulder, and a backpack just ain't big enough!?!?!

I'm thinking maybe a new flight kit bag so I'll have someplace to rest my Panda Express!

I ordered one of these Timbuktu bags. Should be here on Saturday. I didn't need a huge bag, but just a little more space for my electronics. I'm looking forward to moving the iPad, MacBook, USB charging station, and all the associated charging cables OUT of my roller bag. It's pretty amazing how much wire all this electronic stuff takes! Still better than 30# worth of Jepps! I'm hoping the bag looks professional and is of adequate size. The pictures looked great, but sometimes it's tough to tell.

Had mine almost 2 years and still looks new. Have 2 ipads, QRH, and various other small items. Works good. Lasts long time.
Have any pictures of how each of the pockets is layed out? The pics from online stores are pretty terrible.

Got one of these when they were $45 (Thanks Purple! ) and it's perfect once I cut the velcro out of the sleeve for the suitcase handle. Much easier to get on and off the rolling bag now.
