Great Bag

The bag is well made and looks stylish. It is easy to pack, organize, open, and access items inside. I have been on 6 flights with it and it fits under most seats. I have noticed that you can't get the bag all the way under all seats. This means you might not be able to put it under the seat long ways, rather sideways, then no room for feet. I like how the bag sits on top of my roll-on carry-on case. It has a handy pocket on the front of the bag for passports etc. I would buy this bag again. It combines functionality and form well.

There is a new king in town

I thought Cargo bag is my dream come true for every day use, but, when I got My Air Porter everything changed.
Cargo had only one big issue for me, it slipped down flat on allmost any surface.
Air Porter does not.
It also has many more small pockets for Yor every day essentials. And there is a separate pocket for documents, which is not even shown in promotional photos (a must for me).
The only downside of Air Porter is shoulder strap, Cargo has a much more comfortable design and fit of it.
Have some smaller items from Waterfield as well and absolutelly love them.
I have found my bag brand for life.

"If you’re in the market for a travel carry-on that’s designed with a ton of thought and attention to detail, that’s made in America by people who are paid decent wages, and that will last for many years to come (I’m about to enter year 8 for my Muzetto) the Air Porter is certainly worth a look."

Designed to be a quick-access in-flight case with enough leg room, it incorporates many details requested by frequent flyers and customers.

 

"It's obvious that a lot of time and thought went into every aspect of every compartment; every space is efficient and purposeful." - Erin G., Tempe, US

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Air Porter Carry-On Bag, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
