You won't say that if you commute...12 months on the line and the damn thing will be falling apart.

ya think

its a pretty good one

260 dollars

You've heard it before, now listen and hear it again. COSTCO.

I'm starting to think that you don't really exist.

Amen Brother, $89.00 with a lifetime warrenty.

I have heard some guys say that with a travel pro, you get what you pay for. And if you forked out that kind of money, it'll probably last a while.

Now the question is, where is the nearest TravelPro repair shop to where you live? With a PNT bag, just call them up, they send you a loaner, you mail them yours in the same box the loaner came in. When it's done, they mail you your bag, you put the loaner in the box, and voila, fixed bag with very little inconvience to you.

I've heard that with a TP, it's not quites as painless when it breaks. And it will break.

I found that everything but purdy-neat falls apart in a matter of months if you commute...the rampers will throw it, and when it lands on the wheels, that's it.

Even with warranty, I got sick of all the visits to the repair shop.

If you don't commute, and never have to surrender your bag to the loving caresses of the ramp-apes, you might get away with an el-cheapo unit.

My travel pro lasted 2 years of 121 line flying (non-commuter). My PNT bag has lasted 6 years of flying (3 yrs post 9/11 part 121 and 2 part 91 corporate). I would buy another PNT in a heartbeat (but I don't need to... mine still looks as good as new except for 1 or 2 bent zipper pulls, a few scratches and a missing screw or two from the frame.) And if I stopped by a stopover store in IAH, MSP, or DTW, they'd replace the screws for free in 5 minutes...

I had a travel pro when I first started 9E.... wouldn't fit in the overhead of a CRJ so I had to keep gate checking it.... took all of a few weeks till it was completely destroyed..... Bottom line Stealth Bag Or Bust....
