Pilot Cases

There are no products matching the selection.

Pilot cases get their name from the original purpose: the small, agile trolleys are intended for flight staff. Known under the alternative names of pilot case trolley and pilot flight case, they now belong to the favourite luggage of business travellers. This preference is obvious: pilot case luggage is spacious enough for documents and changing clothes and small enough for the cabin. Leather pilot cases are particularly popular as business accessories. Whether made of leather, plastic or aluminium, pilot cases are also interesting for frequent travellers and commuters. Due to their compact size and organized design, they are especially useful for weekend trips. If you want to buy a pilot case, consider in advance which features you would like to have.

Features of a pilot case

Pilot cases were initially used by pilots, as already mentioned. Because pilots cannot search for maps or personal items during the flight, the small suitcases were equipped with a particularly wide opening. They can be placed on the floor and you can reach for what you are looking for from the top. A pilot trolley is opened to the front as standard – this is, by the way, the main difference from the so-called rolling briefcases. The characteristic design of the pilot cases ensures a good overview. Several interior compartments with smaller pockets help to keep the contents organized. For business travellers, a pilot trolley with a separate laptop compartment is an ideal solution. Mostly it is designed for devices with a screen diagonal of 13 to 17 inches. In our product descriptions, you will find the exact information about the size of the laptop compartment for the selected model. Also practical is an organizer with pen loops as well as a document section and a smartphone pocket. Although most pilot cases are equipped with elastic cross-straps, a shirt compartment is a pleasant additional option that promises crease-free storage.

A pilot flight case in its classic form is designed in a landscape format and is equipped with wheels. The external measures normally correspond to the usual hand luggage size of 55 x 40 x 20 cm. Whether it is a hardside pilot case or a model made of soft fabric, when travelling by plane you should always pay attention to the dimensions. We also recommend models that are secured with a TSA lock: It can be unlocked by airport officials with a master key. Otherwise, snap locks, combination locks and (lockable) two-way zippers are used. Whether two or four wheels, a pull-out handle is standard. Models made of synthetic materials such as polyester usually have a retractable telescopic handle with a cover. Due to their light weight, they can be carried in the hand over long distances. Typical for these models is also an edge reinforcement: it absorbs impacts so that the contents always stay protected. Regardless of the material, whether leather, nylon, imitation leather, polycarbonate or aluminium, most pilot cases have one or two carrying handles in addition to the telescopic handle. Leather pilot cases and models made of the fabric also feature practical outside pockets and a removable, padded shoulder strap. Modern designs trump with a USB port for the power bank and a brand internal ID code. Pilot cases usually hold 30 to 50 litres.
