FLIGHTABLE® CARRY-ON LUGGAGE/TABLE SUITCASE
From FLIGHTABLE
NOW YOU CAN ROLL YOUR DESK WITH YOU! The Flightable® suitcase-to-desk lets you convert an airport waiting area, a hotel lobby, or a client's waiting room into your personal office! At the airport, you no longer need to juggle your laptop on your knee, awkwardly holding it with one hand and typing with the other. You can type, write and talk on your phone in comfort all at the same time. You can enjoy a hot coffee at your own table while waiting for your next flight. Or you can have a meal without fighting for a table at a busy airport. A vacationing family can now have its own game or card table for leisure or while waiting. In case you're in a client's waiting room with time to spare, you can continue unfinished work without borrowing a desk from the office personnel. It can safely support up to 55 lbs on its tabletop and has plenty of room for your notebook computer, a mouse and a writing surface. Just push a button to unfold and the table sets up in seconds. The 18"x14" table surface safely supports up to 55 lbs! While it's closed, the overall size (including wheels) is 22"x14"x8-1/2", so it can fit into an overhead bin or even under the seat in most commercial aircraft. The fully lined clothing section is 20-1/2"x14"x7-1/2", and includes a padded pocket for your laptop computer, and many other pockets for accessories. You'll never have to juggle your equipment on your lap again. The Flightable® suitcase-to-desk carry-on is crafted from a heavy duty 1500-denier ballistic polyester and will last a lifetime! Weighs just 14 lbs.

Do not buy! While the Flightable V1600 is made using good, sturdy materials that will hold up for a long time, it won't need it because you won't use it more than once or twice. First, the handle is of a good length, but doesn't lock well so you can't push the bag, and if going down a decline the bag has a tendency to roll forward because the handle doesn't hold. Second, the inside of the bag is just like any suitcase. The laptop holding area are a couple of straps on the bottom, but there is no protection for the computer. You will need a case to protect your computer, and then if you want to pack anything else, it will all fit on top of your computer. Third, the wheels are small and recessed a little behind the table. This means that it will not be pulled up stairs easily. Fourth, the table folds out well, but if you need to work on anything you've packed you'll need to open the bag, unpack the bag, pull out what you want to work on (you're computer is underneath everything), put your stuff on the floor, repack what you don't need, close the bag, put the bag upright, unfold the table, pick your stuff up from off the floor, work, put your stuff back on the floor, fold up the table, open the bag, take all your stuff out, repack all your stuff, close the bag. Fifth, the table is made of sturdy plastic, but with it's location near the ground and with the other rolling plastic wheels it builds up a lot of static electricity and picks up everything off the ground from pet hair on carpeting to leaves and seeds on sidewalks so when you unfold your table you get a bunch of junk sitting on it and need to clean it before use. Sixth- it does have a nice feature of having a second zipper to give you an extra 2 inches of packing room which is good when you take a stuffed bag somewhere and then want to bring home a souvenir. Seventh there is a hook to hang a second bag over the front, but the hook extends too far so any bag longer than a standard briefcase will drag and any bag, even small ones, throw off the weight and pull back on the bag while you are pulling it making it more difficult to move. There are just too many design flaws to make it worthwhile. I can't see recommending a bag where the manufacturers not only forgot to employ basic physics principles but also threw out using common sense. Flightable V1600E This is a very useful item for someone on the move. If you need a table while traveling, this is the way to go. This model is not well designed for carring a laptop. I purchased and suggest the V2500 if you want to carry a laptop in the luggage. Flightable Carry-On Luggage I found after I purchased this product that there were three different models and would have preferred one other than the one I got. That being said, I LOVE the luggage, it's rugged, wheels work great and table is pretty sturdy!
