I need some info from all of you NetJets longtimers out there. What is the best brand/style of luggage for a 7/7 schedule.
Luggage Works. Hands done. Good product and even better customer service. I carry my uniform pieces, shoes, clothes and mail in this bag.

You will want the 26" bag. It is not "street legal" for carry on limits but I have NEVER been challenged by airline personnel about it... ever.
Ask about discounts available. It's so worth the price. If anything ever breaks, send it back. They will repair the problemn and upgrade the bad to include and recent "STCs". I have not, to date, recieved a bill for repairs on my bag and I send it in every year for an overhaul during vacation.
Always tuck in the bag hook when airlining (especially on Comair). If it breaks off, Shaneanea or Ms. Rhonda that works at Comair will have no problem telling you that they don't cover virtually every item on a bag that can break for repair. Make ya wonder.... nah. It doesn't.
I also carry an Exec Touring Tote in place of my "brain bag" since we only carry arounf an FOM. There is no need for a brain bag. Finally! Room for an extra pair of shoes!! There is also room for extra crap you might collect on the road. The bag collapses (even full) so you can put it under the seat (even under the left side of an ERJ). I've had many commuter F/As question whether it would fit. I wager them that it will and I have never lost yet. Get the BIG tote. It has a nice space under the bag for your road book if yoiu want to carry one. I carry my laptop, electronic goodies and anything else that pops up in this bag. It stores easily in the NJA planes too. A brain bag can be problematic to store in that it is hard and inflexible. Now if I could just put stickers on the tote....

ROLL all of your clothes instead of folding them. Put all socks and undies in the side puches. You'll be packed and ready for anything from Barbados to Buffalo.
Hope this helps for your 7 day tour.
For a few bucks extra you can even have the words
"NOT YOURS" sewn into your bag handle.
