UNDERSEAT CONVENIENCE
The Air Porter Backpack's two top pockets are designed specifically to give you easy access to the items you'll need during your flight. Once you've stowed your backpack under the seat in front of you, you can leave it as is while you zip open the top pockets to get your earbuds, headset, phone charger, etc.
No need to take your backpack out of its place. Just reach down and grab what you need during the flight.
COMFORTABLE ON YOUR BACK
To help distribute the weight on your back, we added a triple layer of structural material on the back side and surrounded the Air Porter Backpack with foam padding on the bottom and front.
This framework also helps the backpack stand upright when you set it down.
TUCK-AWAY STRAPS
Most backpacks leave straps dangling when you're not wearing it on your back. We've designed a slot where you can tuck the straps in so they stay out of the way. It's a small detail that makes it easier to carry the Air Porter Backapck by the handle, and it gives the backpack a cleaner look.
COMMUNITY-DESIGNED TRAVEL BAGS
We love involving customers in community-design projects because their input often leads to entirely new collections. When we set out to design the Next Generation In-flight Carry and the In-flight Personal Item, we ended up with two types of carry-on bags: the Air Porter (stands up underneath an airline seat) and the Air Duffel (personal item carry-on compliant).
Customers wanted a third type of carry-on for longer trips: a backpack. The larger Air Travel Backpack complies with carry-on requirements and can be placed in the overhead bin. The new, smaller Air Porter Backpack complies with airline personal item requirements and can be placed under the seat in front of you. Both carry tech gear and several days of clothing.
All bags in the Air Travel Collection include special details to make travel comfortable, organized, and more convenient from takeoff to touchdown.
THE AIR TRAVEL COLLECTION
The bags and accessories in the Air Travel Collection are designed to be carried on board. Some can fit under the seat in front, in the seat back pocket, or in the overhead bin. They meet most airlines' carry-on size requirements so you can avoid checking in luggage.
All have dedicated compartments for holding tech gear so they stay separated from clothes and accessories. The Collection includes the large Air Travel Backpack, the smaller Air Porter Backpack, Air Duffel, Air Porter Brief, and the Air Caddy.
