 Poster: A snowHead
|
I saw this bag in a local shop and was really impressed with it - solid bag and has had some good thought put in to the design.

Obviously the name is 'Flight Deck' and u should be able to use it as carry on, but it looks like a pretty big bag and the measurements are slightly bigger than most airlines allow.
Has anyone owned or heard any stories about this bag? I dont want to pay that much money for a bag then get to the airport and find out im going to get charged for having to check it in because its too big.
Also on the subject is there any other bags like this that would you would recommend?

Actually looking at the bag - it looks heavy. No weight listed, but suspect that you'll burn a quarter of your carry-on allowance in luggage, only alloed 10kg carry-on on Ryanair for example. Recounting what I saw last time I flew Ryanair, anyone with a wheelie bag carry-on was being stopped at the gate and weighed and measured and anyone over allowance one way or another was therefrore stung £30 or so at the gate, no cash no fly - people jettisoning posessions all over the place - while i with my backpack which probably was a little overweight and a little outsized walked through unchallenged. They were only pouncing on wheelies, nobody else, and they were doing it at both airports i flew from - suspect an Ryanair cashcow directive.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

smclean0, I wouldn't risk it if it too big for BA or Easyjet. You probably need to compare the dimensions to the maximum allowed on the airlines you most often use. The dimensions will be on their websites. I use a small wheely suitcase as hand luggage. can't remember the name but I went armed with a tape measure & the list of max dimensions and bought a case that fit - it looks simllar to the one in the link but less garish

I have one from a few years back. Only used it 2 or 3 times including easyjet a couple of years ago. Let me know if you are interested in buying it as I dont use it enough to justify keeping it. It is in excellent condition. Its mostly black in colour. If you or anyone is interested I can take photos / measurements.

indeed! I think mine was about £60 max - I've used it lots, including on my eurostar day trip to carry my boots in, perfect size

I brought a fat face carry on bag from their outlet shop at Biscester last year. I think it was only £25 and is actually pretty good quality. Much better than the high street/tesco type one that we had before. It's done about 5-6 trips so far and is holding up ok. It's also not to heavy in comparison to some I looked at, so bad luck Ryanair.
