Makes air traveling much less painful!
By A. Wang on May 1, 2009
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
I had no problem with using this bag through airport security and it fits fine under the seat. It's a very roomy bag and I was able to fit three changes of clothes plus heels. Here's another trick for using this bag: put your liquids in a bag between the two compartments so when you unzip the bag to go through the x-ray machine, you can toss your liquids into a bin. No need to fish it out of the main compartment.

No more broken laptops
By Dv8fox on May 9, 2010
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
After dropping my laptop in Dulles Airport after getting through security, I knew there had to be a better way. This was much cheaper than the replacement CD-Rom drive that got broken.
The side pockets are easy to throw in drinks for those long, dry-air flights. The laptop section held a 15.4 Dell M4400 (the widest brick-heavy laptop out there) with ease. I love the section in the back padding that allows you to slip it right over the handles of your carry-on with having to worry about it falling off. The middle section gives you plenty of space for magazines, notepads and a some snacks. The pouch section holds my USB drive, iphone and blackberry cables, as well as perfecly holds my noise canceling head phones. The zip-thru pouch that opens up is great for putting a jacket in. So when you unzip to get through security, you throw the jacket in the bins, when it comes out "cooked" on the other side of the X-Ray you through it right back in once you zip it back up.

The greatest part is that it all fits comfortably under the seat in front of you.

The only thing I miss is that my old targus had a shoulder pouch to keep a pack of cigarettes\cell phone in.

I can make it through security, without juggling 3 bins like I use to. Now it is this backpack first, bin full of my shoes, belt and ziplock bag, all being pushed along with my carry-on. I can get through the security X-Ray and running out the other side in less than 30 seconds. Assuming I dont have that guy that has to make 4 trips through the detector cause he forget to remove his keys first, then his belt, then his watch. :)

Excellent bag
By Alan Scharf on September 15, 2009
Style Name: Air Traveler Case
This review is for the 15.4" Air Traveler only, not the Corporate Traveler.

1. Excellent bag for airport checkthrough. Breezed through security at New York JFK and Portland, OR PDX.

2. Ample room for Dell Latitude E6500 15.4", notebook mouse, and computer power cord and thin transformer block. If you have one of the older thicker transformer blocks, I'm sure it would fit, though with a very slight bulge.

3. Very light bag compared to others, but still strong and well made.

4. Romm for some papers, but not a lot. Not meant to be a full briefcase.

5. Strap for fitting over rolling suitcase handle.

6. Front side pockets for things like air tickets, one zipped and the other open but deep and snug enough so that tickets won't fall out.

7. Easily fit under seat of AirBus 320.

Great laptop backpack!
By K. Metzger on November 20, 2010
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
I was searching for a sturdy backpack for school that would allow me to carry my laptop as well as schoolbooks. After reading many of the reviews of this bag, I placed my order and crossed my fingers. I shouldn't have worried; it's a great bag! Solidly built and traveler-friendly with a ton of compartments for every little thing one might need to stow away. While this backpack is slightly larger than your average backpack, it is comfortable to wear trekking cross campus. Also, another aspect of this bag that I love is that it stands upright. I know that sounds kinda crazy, but I find it annoying when your backpack flops over next to your desk and stuff kind of just falls out, or if you need to grab something quickly out of the bag you have to awkwardly curl your body around the side of your chair and then on the way up, smash your head against the desk. So yeah, lazy girl (points to self) loves the convenience of a bag that stands upright for easy grabbage. I plan to travel with this backpack when I fly home this Christmas instead of bringing a bulky tote bag on the plane.

Air traveler backpack is worth its weight in gold!
By Ralph E. Barnes on October 2, 2009
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
I purchased two of these, one for me and my girlfriend, for a recent business trip. It sure was easy to pass security this time without having to remove my laptop from the previous laptop bags I own. The pockets were roomy enough that it was able to hold all my techie gear.

You will enjoy this backpack
By Goz on January 14, 2011
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
I bought this backpack about 7 months ago. I am not really a backpack person; I prefer shoulder bags. I decided to buy this backpack when I needed to travel abroad and needed to check everything in except for my laptop. This backpack served its purpose. It has lots of spaces to help compartmentalize your items. It fits under the seat in front in the airplane and it can contain two laptops comfortably with few other clothes and items. I now use it for my frequent domestic travels and for grad school. It helps me keep organized. I no longer have to stand in front of my door for about 3 minutes searching for my keys. It has a special place now; so also does my umbrella and water bottle. I really love this backpack. I can go on and on but in summary I recommend this backpack, you will not regret it. Mine is 7 months old and still looks very new.

great backpack for a college student or traveler
By scott4 on July 23, 2011
Style Name: Traveler Backpack for 15.8 Inch Verified Purchase
I bought this backpack intending to use it for college. When I got it, I was very happy with the quality of it; the bag is tough and durable, the zippers are actually metal, and the seams are strong. Also, I was able to fit a huge stack of books in it, along with my 15.6 inch Acer and Dell laptops (individually). The area for the laptops is very well padded. I also took it on a trip with me, and it was very useful in airport security, it was quick and there were no problems. All you do is unzip one zipper and it lays flat for the xray.
