What suitcase did George Clooney have in "Up in the Air"
 

I watched last night and really liked the ability to have a little zip area at the top of the bag for the notebook. Im guessing a discontinued Travel Pro from looking at the bag and then their site when I got home. But I didnt get a great look at it. Does anyone know (Im actually sure someone here does know ;) ). Any other suggestions for bags like this, 18, 20 or 21 inch rollers with an easy zip open laptop section? I know there are some B&Rs like this but I dont own any. Seems like this is a distinct class. What do people suggest? Thanks.

Gadgetfreak, I think I answered that question elsewhere. His suitcase is actually a composite, as far as I can tell. I looked at extract on Youtube and paused them. Then I compared to TP photos of their different ranges. I didn't find a single one that had all the same features. They put one together for him, I think. Different handles, feet, stickers etc.

But yes, it's TP.

I have a Tumi (a few actually) you can't beat them. They have 2 zip on the front but I am not sure if you want a smaller compartment.

What dimensions do you need for the outside pocket? I suppose you want that gusseted so it's deep enough to fit a laptop with sleeve.

The cases I know have such a feature but the laptop pocket is the lower one. Not a detriment in my eyes. Keeps the center of gravity low. The upper pocket is a for the 311 bag.

here are a few examples:

Unfortunately currently unavailable at ebags but you might have luck elsewhere.

available in sage $120

Ebags has what appears to be a nearly identical bag in Alpine Green (I think this is the same as "sage") for $74.99, plus shipping and tax. Might be a one day sale.

When you click through the link and place it into your cart, use promotion code: CATASP10 and the price will drop to $74.99. This will also reduce the ship charge by $2. Total cost will be $84.94 plus whatever sales tax rate is or is not applicable to your ship to.

Another potential contingent way of getting more discount is to access Ebags through a Fatwallet account, then search for SKU #12674. In theory, this will give you an additional rebate of 10%. No guarantee though, as sometimes FatWallet rebates are rejected due to outside coupon codes (CATASP10 came from retailmenot.com). I would also delete any Ebag cookie you may have stored before using Fatwallet.

I have an older Delsey Helium Breeze that is almost identical (but in black), that I love. I'm buying this one as a backup, since it's about $20 less than I paid for my earlier one.

GadgetFreak, you are right. Briggs & Riley do have some carry-on uprights with laptop sections like you described such as this 20” carry-on business upright. The carry-on actually comes with a laptop case that can be used separately or slipped inside the laptop section of the carry-on. Someone on this forum has actually reviewed this product and I think you may want to read through it to see if it meets all your needs.

Thanks. That seems even nicer than the one George Clooney had. There is also a Baseline 20 inch model that would have room in that front for both a computer and kippie bag. I think the Baseline model may be discontinued and is being replaced by the Fuse version. The Fuse model seems thinner too, which is good. Im a little leery of B&R 20 inch bags though. I doubt they will make it through the LHR sizer but would be great for domestic. My 18 or 19 inch old B&R is fine at LHR but I dont think it could get much larger and still make it. Its too bad that they dont make an 18 inch version of that. The pockets on the smaller B&R rollers seem more or less vestigial to me. I wish they were more like the one on the that Crew 7 that Clooney had.

From the looks of it I'm pretty sure it's a TravelPro Crew 5, I'm pretty familiar with the bag considering it's my everyday carry on. I think the design has been discontinued though.

I noticed it too. What do these usually run for?

The George Clooney bag its an Travelpro Crew 4, its not for sale anymore. You could try the crew 7 or the Walkabout lite 2 both are very goods bags...

Why the heck would TP use 2+ generations old luggage in a movie that was a good marketing vehicle for them?

Exactly what I wondered, too! :confused:

Thought about it a little. Probably the set designer wanted him to look like he had been doing this for awhile. So the old case means that this is like a trusty travel companion that can withstand his high miles. Travelpro branding would still be clearly visible. Message to the viewer: want a reliable bag like this guy's, get a TP.
