Thank you for the demonstration video. As a floating teacher, I have to lug around a ton of materials and a laptop to various classes and back to my office each day...not to mention the parking lot. It's been brutal on my lower back to carry around a tote. I'd been wanting a rolling one but previous purchases left me skeptical as the wheels and overall craftsmanship were more for occasional use. Then I thought...well, what do flight attendants use? Eureka moment. Your video was very helpful, especially mentioning that the wheels are replaceable. Great job! Your site was sold out, so I had to purchase elsewhere, but keep the demo videos coming. They were instrumental in my intention to buy from your online store and are very helpful to customers.
What is the largest bag dimension able to fit under a seat? I'm a writer, and I get seperation anxiety without my mac air and tablet. However, I'd like to take clothes. I'm usually on main line, legacy carriers. For puddle jumpers, my bags go into the back like everyone else's.
Underseat dimensions will vary by airline. This bag's dimensions at its widest points (to include the wheels and wheel housings) is 15h x 16w x 10.5d. I don't know if I would get this bag specifically to place under a seat. It would probably fit under most seats, but might run into problems in some seats. I noticed that some space under seats has been taken by USB charging ports which made it more difficult to place a smaller bag than this one under the seat. As I mention in the video, if you have this one packed full it has a very cube-like shape, which isn't the best for wedging under a seat.
Does the main clothing compartment open up more than you show in the video? I see what looks like snap-apart sides, but you don't actually open these up as you do in your video for the TP Vertical overnighter. I'm assuming so, but wanted to ask anyway. Also, in the main compartment, does it have the cross elastic bands that hold the clothes in place, as the TP Vertical bag is shown to have. Thanks!
It actually does not open up much more than what is shown. If you undo the snaps and the Velcro you are able to bend the front down more to make a larger opening, but the front will not open up much more on its own. The main reason for this is the zipper does not go all the way to the bottom of the bag on either side. The little flaps that snap and Velcro into place seem to function as more of way to keep the contents of the bag inside the bag when it's open than as a way to prevent it from opening wider. There are no elastic straps in the main compartment.
Does the 9 inch dimension include the wheels and the extra bit that sticks out from the laptop zippered area? Wondering if it would fit in the flight kit area of a CRJ (the box next to the Captain and FO)? I have a bag that is 9 inches deep right now that just fits.
Thanks for watching! Including the wheels, the bottom is 10.5 inches from front to back. The bottom is also very rigid, so don't count on finessing it into a tight space. You might have a problem getting it into a 9" wide space.
Your video states the bag will fit a 14" laptop. On the official website someone asked what size laptop would fit and the answer was it would fit a 15". My laptop is 15". Will it fit?
A laptop that is 15" in length will just barely fit, but it will not fit in the padded laptop compartment. So, you can still slide the laptop into the middle compartment where the laptop sleeve is, it just won't fit in the sleeve. The sleeve will accommodate up to a 14" in length laptop. I'm using the longest dimension of the laptop, not the screen size. I hope that info helps.
It might in some aircraft, but I would not count on it. The outer dimensions including the wheel housings are: 15h x 16w x 10.5d. My guess is that probably exceeds some airlines' personal item size. I just flew on a 737-800 with a smaller "under-seat" rolling tote and it fit, but with all of the USB charging ports I had to really wedge it in.
There isn't much space inside the zippered compartment with the extending handle, but you could cram some small items to each side of the handle if you needed to. You can also unzip the liner in the main compartment and place socks and other small items right up next to the handle tubes if desired.

Great videos. Unlike the vertical tote, any idea if this tote will slip over the Crew 5 Pilot rollerboard's handle easily? Thanks
Yes, this rolling tote slips over the extending handle fairly easily. Much easier than the Vertical Rolling Overnighter.

What happens if you unhook the buttons in the back compartment? Will the bag flip open completely?
Undoing the buttons will allow the front to open up a little wider, but it will not open completely and lie flat.

@@jeremywells4785 Thanks, that clears it up.
Would this fit underneath a regular domestic flight seat?
It might in some aircraft, but I would not count on it. The outer dimensions including the wheel housings are: 15h x 16w x 10.5d. My guess is that probably exceeds some airlines' personal item size. I just flew on a 737-800 with a smaller "under-seat" rolling tote and it fit, but with all of the USB charging ports I had to really wedge it in.
Does anyone else tuck shoes into the handle compartment? Or store small items placed in baggies? Complete waste of space if you don't.
