Brightline Flight Bag

After months of obsessing I finally purchased the pricey Brightline Flight Bag last month and said “goodbye” to my vastly inferior messenger-style bag.   Why am I so excited about a bag of all things?  NERD ALERT: Organization rocks!

On every flight, I am walking from the terminal to the aircraft with a briefcase-style bag containing the aircrafts documents, my flight bag, and a separate bag for my headset (not to mention passenger headsets).  Annoying to say the least.  To add to my inconvenience, my flight bag only had 3 pockets.  One for pens and two giant ones for everything else.  When you are carrying a fully loaded flight bag (including a fuel tester, screw driver, ruler, flight computer, log book, maps, CFS (thick book), airplane manuel, pens, calculator, batteries, Spot Connect, flight timer, CO2 detector, sunglasses, license, flashlight, GPS, etc…) it becomes a huge hassle to find anything you want, especially while flying the plane.  Luckily, this bag has a separate colour-coded pocket for absolutely everything, including a spot for two headsets, all while being less bulky than my last flight bag.  To top it off, it actually zips in half into two bags just in case you don’t need everything in the cockpit.  Of course they recreated the essential pockets so you have it on both halves.

The folks who designed this were definitely frustrated pilots and simply wanted to solve their problems once and for all. Check out the interior below or a demonstration video here.
