For business travellers using a robust notebook and photographers who must pack that and more, things have become significantly more complicated. Travelling with equipment is now a dizzying mambo of what you can carry-on, what you're confident will make it through the hold, and the weight of it all. I use a messenger bag for basic photo and computer gear that's Liat overhead bin friendly, a tight fit that defeats most regular carry-ons. But my longer trip strategy has been built around a rolling carry-on and a heftier shoulder bag. I now have to rethink things around either a rolling bag, a backpack or a good shoulder bag. I'm partial to shoulder bags over backpacks, particularly when they hang off a great strap like Skooba's (see http://bit.ly/f6UtMt), but a rolling bag like the Airport International (see: http://bit.ly/hkfs9a) might ultimately prove to be the best way for photographers to navigate the new challenges of modern air travel.
