Once very popular, pilot cases, so called because back in the day, it was only pilots that used them are now very chic and practical. Weighing slightly more than a regular hand luggage case due to the retractable handles and wheels, these wheeled cases are excellent travel companions. Some come as a briefcase on wheels and some with laptop compartments or sleeves. Hand luggage allowance restrictions are the only reason that everyone doesn't use a pilot case, check your restrictions and then join the high flyers!
