There are a variety of modular flight bags, including coolers with EFB sleeves.

Aerocoast Pro Cooler II. Love mine. Won't hold my headset, so I will probably get another small bag to handle that and the EFB.

You're a pilot now...not a nomad.
Looks like they have it on overstock in 25" too. https://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Ba...5/product.html

I find that I can get a good pair of knitted wool underwear last a few months before the Pthirus pubis and dust mites get out of hand.

I'm an outdoor enthusiast, do a good bit of hiking, trail running, camping etc...
I once had a friend who is into ultra-light camping tell me how "lame" I was for using a rollaboard at work and looking like every other stooge. She said I should be using my trekking backpack. I could not convince her otherwise.

Point is, your outdoor hobbies are cool, but they are separate from your job as an airline pilot. You don't have to buy the exact same bag as everyone else, but you do need to pack clean clothes and all the associated amenities to keep up your appearance and hygiene. You can minimize these if you never plan on leaving your hotel room.

As for me, flip flops in the summer and Vans slip ons in the winter save space. Also, having black work shoes that actually look good with jeans help. For a four day I pack four white under shirts, 4 dress socks, 4 briefs. The rest is whatever you need.

Going commando saves luggage space.

Definitely go with a fanny pack. You should always wear your pilot hat as well. It makes for some free storage inside it. Forget an extra jacket for the overnight. The airline trench coat works wonders and has loads of pockets for storage as well.

Do not do anything to a passport. Illegal! I got hassled by Immigration in China because of a few small pen marks on the data page. They said my passport was "mutilated"

These are were all caused by TSA/ CBP agent who use passports as a clipboard for convenience while they are scrawling on Boarding Cards and that is no longer tolerated by Cruz Clearance!
