Flight Bags for Pilots: Aviation Bags, Pilot Luggage and Crew Cases
A pilot flight bag is really a question of how you fly, not which brand you buy. The right one keeps your tablet, headset, charts, logbook, and certificates in dedicated compartments so each item is in reach when you reach for it. PilotMall stocks 60-plus pilot flight bags, crew rollaboards, EFB organizers, backpacks, and totes from Travelpro, Aerocoast, ASA, and Flight Outfitters as an authorized dealer.
Shop by how you fly:
- Airline and corporate crews on multi-day trips want a roller that fits the bin. Our best-seller here is the Travelpro FlightCrew5 22" Expandable Rollaboard, and you can size up or down across professional flight crew luggage and rolling pilot luggage from 18 to 24 inches.
- General aviation and EFB pilots who carry a tablet, headset, and snacks gravitate to an organizer like the Aerocoast Pro EFB + Cooler II, or a roomier soft-sided pick from classic flight bags and duffels.
- Students and hands-free flyers tend to prefer a pilot backpack such as the ASA AirClassics Pilot Backpack, which frees both hands for the walkaround.
- Commuters who want one bag that rolls go for a wheeled hybrid like the Aerocoast Pro Crew I Wheeled or the low-profile Travelpro Pilot Brief.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pilot flight bag?
A pilot flight bag is a purpose-built bag that carries and organizes the gear a pilot flies with, including a tablet or EFB, headset, charts, logbook, certificates, and accessories. Unlike an ordinary bag, it uses dedicated compartments so each item stays protected and within reach in the cockpit.
How do I choose the right flight bag?
Choose a flight bag by mission. Students and general aviation pilots want a backpack, tote, or EFB organizer, while airline and corporate crews want a rollaboard sized for the overhead bin. Then match the compartments, durable materials, and carry style, whether straps or wheels, to how and where you fly.
What size flight bag do pilots need?
Most pilots are well served by an 18 to 22 inch rollaboard. An 18 inch bag fits tight regional jet bins more easily, while 22 and 24 inch bags carry more for longer trips. General aviation pilots often prefer a tote, backpack, or EFB organizer rather than a wheeled bag.
How many bags do airline pilots carry?
Most airline pilots carry two bags: a rollaboard for clothing and overnight items, plus a smaller cockpit bag or EFB organizer for quick-access flight gear such as a tablet, headset, and documents. This two-bag system keeps essentials reachable without unpacking the roller.
Will a rollaboard fit in a regional jet overhead bin?
An 18 inch rollaboard fits most regional jet overhead bins more reliably than a 22 or 24 inch bag, though bin size varies by aircraft type. Crews flying regional equipment often choose the smaller size, and many also gate-check larger bags when bins are limited.
What should a pilot pack in a flight bag?
A typical flight bag holds your headset, kneeboard, charts or tablet running an EFB app, your pilot certificate and medical, your logbook, a flashlight, a fuel tester, and pens. Crews add overnight clothing in a rollaboard and quick-access cockpit gear in a separate organizer.
What do airline pilots carry in their flight bags?
Most airline pilots carry an EFB or tablet, logbook, headset, spare batteries, approach plates or Jeppesen charts, crew documents, a flashlight and personal items. Rolling crew cases and pilot suitcases are the most common choice for airline pilots who need to manage multiple days of luggage alongside their cockpit gear.
What is the best flight bag brand for pilots?
The most trusted brands among professional pilots are Travelpro, Aerocoast and ASA. Travelpro is the most popular choice for airline crews worldwide. Aerocoast builds bags specifically for professional cockpit crews. ASA flight bags are a top pick for student pilots and flight instructors. PilotMall stocks all three alongside classic flight bags and duffels for general aviation pilots.
Can I use a regular bag as a flight bag?
You can, but purpose-built pilot flight bags offer organization that generic bags cannot match. Dedicated headset compartments, tablet pockets sized for EFBs, logbook sleeves and chart storage make a real difference when you need to find something quickly in the cockpit. Most pilots who switch to a proper aviation bag do not go back.
