Had high expectations of this case given Zpacks pedigree but still exceeded easily - crazy light, simple yet super-intelligent design, incredibly easy to use.

Our Airplane Travel Case is a useful addition for the jetsetting adventurer looking to blaze international trails. Slide your backpack inside to protect it when checking your backpack on to a plane. When you arrive, move the airplane case to the inside of your backpack and it doubles as a pack liner.

This size will fit typical backpacks up to about 60-70L with all items removed from the exterior pockets. We also have an XL Airplane Case with extra space for items in the exterior pockets or beside your pack.

 

  • The Airplane Case adds protection when checking your backpack on to a plane. It has a sturdy webbing handle on the side for carrying your pack to the terminal. The handle is long so that you can keep your hand centered depending on height of the backpack.

  • The top of the case has a standard roll top opening, and it also has 2 small loops so that you can clip the top with a TSA approved lock, or with a carabiner for a little extra security.

  • This case also doubles as a pack liner! Just move it from the outside of your backpack to the inside once you reach your destination. It has the same construction as our standard pack liner, except it is made from thicker Dyneema® Composite Fabric for extra durability. The seams are taped.

  • The dimensions are a little bit larger than our standard pack liner so that it will fit the exterior of our backpacks. You will likely need to remove any water bottles or gear from the exterior backpack pockets; move those items to the inside of the pack. It will fit all of our backpacks and other similarly sized packs.

  • Tip: Your backpack will slide into the case easier if you put it in upside down.

  • All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

  • Imported.

Flat Dimensions: 22" wide x 38.5" tall (56 cm x 98 cm)

Full/Packed Dimensions: Around 9" deep x 13" wide x 28" tall (23 cm x 33 cm x 71 cm)

Volume: Generally fits backpacks up to 60 or 70 Liters with items removed from the exterior pockets. All our backpacks will fit w/ the pockets empty, however if you have a larger backpack or want to store extra items beside the pack try our XL size.

Backpacker Travel Security

This item was outstanding for my extended backpacking trip through Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico. It also allowed me a little extra room above or below my pack for easy access when traveling by bus. To the untrained eye, it looks like a cheap plastic bag, haha. Which was great because any would be thieves wouldn’t bother with the guy traveling with a “trash bag suitcase”!!! I personally love the look of it. I have the Grey/Green… 5 different flights and TSA etc.. didn’t seem to have any issues with access, and tbh I jammed my overloaded pack in there every time. Literally stuffed it each time. Mind you, my pack is a 70l ULA Camino, for reference. The handle has remained in perfect condition after all the handling, no tears. The only issue I had was that the luggage handlers seem to have dragged it lazily on one connection.. So, it was not torn or ripped from lack of quality. The surface was literally abraded, leaving a tear of about 4-6 inches. The tear terminated itself, thanks to the weave, and did not cause any further issues. For repair, I decided to use a piece of “Gear Aid Fabric Tape” both inside and outside. That did the trick really well. Of course it’s not as strong as Dacron, but it’s a really good seal, and flexes naturally with the Dacron. For $100 it seems a little pricey at first glance, but the value pays off in dividends by keeping loose straps and easy access from causing issues on your travels. The Airporter bag was exactly what I was looking for on my travels, and there is nothing out there that’s comparable. Ultralight weight, super strong, packs down to nothing, and multi use when on the ground for laundry, groceries, and shedding unnecessary items when hitting the trails. The product exceeded my expectations! I would buy again if I ever needed to.
