I currently use an ASA Flight Bag to carry my headset, documentations, POHs, etc.. It is a “duffel style” bag that is large, heavy, and well, kinda sucks (photo).
I came across this new flight bag from BrightLine Bags that simply blows the ASA bag out of the water.
Some of the things I love about this bag:
- The colour coded zippers! Ever asked a passenger to grab something for you out of your bag?:
Me: “Yeah It’s in the big zipper, near the back, on the left hand side”
You: “Uhh where? what zipper?”
Now I can just go:
Me: “Yeah, open the yellow zipper and pull out the chart!”
You: “Got it!”
- The fact that you can separate it in half so that you don’t need to take everything on that short flight/city tour.
- It holds two headsets!
- The pocket on the top of the bag for your sunglasses
The only one problem that I have is the pocket designed for the fuel tester. I don’t use that style tester. However, I think I can find a pocket that will hold my GATS Jar.
Sara, if you’re reading this.. my birthday is only 6 months away!
I’m not even flying right now and I want one of these! Maybe two! One for my flight gear and one for all the other miscellaneous things I’d like to be able to carry around-day-today.
Oh no! My birthday just passed and I *need* this. The colour-coded zippers are so inspired! And a pocket for my sunglasses? I’m sold.
Ummmm, what do you think my chances are for an early Christmas present?
I love that bag too, but don’t forget the Noral MACH 1 Flight Bag (http://tinyurl.com/Noral-1-Flight-Bag). It is a little bigger and might hold that GATS jar.
Great video too!

P.S. Color coded zippers, very cool!
