I have had this bag for over a year now, and I can safely say that it is worth buying. Especially as a university student, it is very reliable and does not break easily.

The Flight Checkpoint Friendly 16" Laptop Backpack by Everki is a great product holding up to my daily abuse. Purchased on November 10th, 2015 because I am starting a limited-residency Masters of Fine Arts program and needed a carry-on that could carry everything I need to travel; my clothing and school supplies. It's also great as a daily backpack for the classes.

This backpack holds an enormous amount of items. At this time, I use it for daily, I get into it many times a day. The zippers are superb and hold up well. They are sturdy and brilliantly designed with a way to lock the laptop compartment.

On a daily basis it holds my 15.5" HP Laptop; four novels and notebooks ; a 10.1 inch tablet; an Amazon Fire 7" tablet; all my electronic power cords in a separately purchased organizer pack; an external hard drive and a power brick; thirty-fifty pens and pencils in a case; a wireless mouse; several thumb drives and SD cards; a toiletry 3-1-1 kit; a water bottle; my iPod with the earbud port that works well; a medium packing cube and a small packing folder (this fits between the laptop and the back of the main compartment of the backpack).

When traveling I can unzip the laptop compartment of the backpack for security and leave the packing folder on exposed part of the backpack. I could get all of this in the backpack and still lift it and carry it for a few hours, made me very happy. As I am an older woman, in pretty good shape.

I was excited by this purchase. I researched these and other bags for almost three months before purchasing one. I looked at all the Everki Titan, and Everki Gaming backpack, the Swiss Gear ScanSmart 1900 (a bag that my daughter swears by), eBags TLS workstation, and the High Sierra Access bag; I settled on this one, because of the easy-peasy way through security I settled on this one and the lifetime guarantee. I have also measured the bag fully loaded in the carry-on dimension racks at the airport and it fits beautifully and will fit under the seat, in front of me on the planes while traveling.

Fantastic customer service!

Definitely will recommend to friends or anyone who wish to buy this type of bag.

They sent me a replacement bag after I found out that there is some defect on one of the zips.

I have searched long and hard for a back pack/laptop bag suited to my needs and physical build.

I show off my new bag where ever I go.

Great work guys and look forward to an upgrade in a few years.

Thanks from Sydney - Australia.

Let me first say that I have owned a ton of laptop bags over the years. I am not usually one to write a review, but after the experience I just had, I feel it is warranted. I have the Flight bag and got it about 1 year ago. I have two offices in town and my back pack is my life since I kind of have a mobile office. I am an engineer for a telecom/fiber optic networking company, so I need my laptop protected and easy to carry. This Flight bag fits the bill perfectly and then some. Its small enough to be comfortable yet it has a ton more space than I could ever need. PERFECT!!! The bag has been a great purchase.

The other day during a meeting, I noticed that one of my straps on the bag (the handle on the front) looked like it was separating from the bag at the base of the reinforced handle. I thought to myself, great, another bag bites the dust and I have to fork out more money to replace it.

I could go on and on about how great the bag is but I think the below is more of a testimonial of how a company that makes great products also take great measures to keep their customers happy. That makes a great company.

I decided to check the warranty on the Everki site to see if they would fix or replace it. THIS, is exactly where they earned my business from here on out. I sent an email to support and within minutes they were working to make me happy. I have NEVER had such great support after a sale before in my life. I never would've expected the same service with one of their cheaper bags. I was blown away. They told me to send in my receipt, take some pics and then they were ready to go. Within the span of 30 minutes, I am told my replacement bag is being shipped out to me. This is wonderful, although when they told me to get an advance replacement I had to cut the straps and slash the front, I was a bit upset that I had to vandalize a bag that had done so well for me. But, sometimes you gotta do unpleasant stuff. It hurt me to do that, but I

Good design, light, compact, functional and reasonably slim. It's another awesome Everki product that combines functionality, practicality, and style.

Honestly I decided to buy this case because all my experiences with Everki have been A-grade!

This is my 3rd Everki product. I am always amazed by their design and choice of materials

This bag is perfect for me as a student. I only really carry my iPad Pro 9.7 inch with me to uni along with my calendar diary, Apple Pencil, Pens and other miscellaneous things.

This bag not only looks amazing, but it is also ridiculously well organised. Every thing they advertise is true.

However I will point out some quirks in the design of the bag.

The placement of the phone holder is a bit odd, it's actually a lot harder to access my iPhone 6 from this pocket. If they had a tab you could pull on to lift the phone out then it would remedy this instantly. I kind of have to dig around to get my phone.

I can only really carry my iPad and my diary with me in the bag, It would be nice if I could fit 2 diaries for example, though the tradeoff of storage for looks and form factor out weighs that in my opinion. Though I thought i'd just bring it to you attention. Space is cramped in the main compartment.

If you're a student that only carries a small computing device like an iPad then this product is for you.

I love this bag. I did a lot of online research before-hand but as soon as I saw the actual bag I was convinced that I had found what I was looking for. The quality of the materials and workmanship is faultless. It is extremely comfortable to wear. I thought it might be a little compact for my needs, but it is amazing what I've managed to stuff into it. The zippers are very robust but have a nice smooth action. Great value too.

First the Titan, then the Flight briefcase and now for my daily use, its the Flight backpack. At first I wanted to get the Atlas but here in Malaysia, we are kinda slow in receiving new models for most products released.

All my Everki bags are checkpoint friendly and I am very satisfied with the overall quality and design of each one of them. Being a luxury product salesman, I find no other bags in the same price range (in Malaysia, where other 'backpack established brand' are pretty much overpriced) which looked as professional as the Everkis'. When I carry them, I don't look like a college student nor do I look like an IT staff. Of course I could go for something like Tum or Samso or Bri & Ri backpacks, but the problem is here, those are made for people who might even have nothing in their bags except for papers and documents.

Everki compartment design however manages to provide us with loads of option to keep stuff properly. In my bag on a daily basis is a 15 laptop and its chager, an ipad, an ipod, backup batteries for two of my 5.5 smartphones (LG Optimus G Pro and Galaxy Note 2), a 15,600mAh power bank, 6 microUSB cables, 2 lightning cables, a couple of USB flash drive, a 500gb external harddrive, 2 USB chargers and a full size travelling headphones. This doesnt include 2 thick product brochures, miscellaneous accessories pamphlet and also an organizer to scribe notes.

The strap holds well although more cushioning could be added or a breathable design on the strap or the back of the bag to help with airflow. Living in Malaysia, the humidity and the heat will definitely make for uncomfortable travel with backpacks without airflow oriented design.

Padding and comfort was good, tons of compartment for keeping my ipad, ipod, electronic devices, chargers, cables, battery powerbank, product brochures, water bottles, keys, pens and my other sales tool. The top grip to carry the bag also feels durable as when I carry it with all my equipments inside.

The only thing essential missing I think on the Flight backpack is the rain cover, which i think would be perfect if Everki were to include in all of their backpack design. Other than that its a brilliant design backpack.

Absolutely love this bag. Have owned for almost 1.5 years and it goes with me on every trip. Had an issue with one of the straps and Customer Service FedEx'd me a new backpack in 2 days. Awesome! I highly recommend Everki!
