Types of Pilot Flight Bags

Our diverse selection ensures there’s a flight bag to match your unique needs. Explore specific styles below or view All Flight Bags.

1. Classic Flight Bags

Classic flight bags offer a timeless, professional look with a spacious main compartment for pilot essentials like charts, binders, and a headset—plus handy exterior pockets for quick access. Pros: Easy cockpit access, generous storage, and a sleek look. Cons: Typically carried by hand or shoulder strap, so not as hands-free as a backpack.

Browse Classic Flight Bags for professional designs that never go out of style.

2. Rolling Luggage

For airline and corporate pilots—or anyone carrying heavier loads—rolling luggage is a game-changer. Wheels and a telescoping handle make terminal navigation easier. Pros: Ideal for extended trips, reduces strain, and often fits in overhead bins. Cons: Slightly bulkier due to wheels and handle assembly.

3. Backpack-Style Bags

If you prefer a hands-free approach, a backpack-style flight bag is ideal. These bags often have specialized compartments for headsets, tablets, and accessories. Pros: Great mobility, ergonomic design, multiple pockets. Cons: Less formal aesthetic, smaller capacity than rolling cases.

4. Flight Crew Bags

Designed for professional pilots, crew bags range from compact totes to cooler-based designs for airline rosters. Pros: Tailored for airline/corporate demands, durable. Cons: More specialized (e.g., crew cooler bags) and may not suit every pilot.
