Here's the carry-on that pilots and flight staff actually use ✈️🧳

- Have you ever noticed that every pilot and flight staff uses the exact same carry-on?
Okay, maybe not every pilot, but enough to where you can’t stop noticing it once you start paying attention
So i found out what they use the only way i knew how: i asked
And they all said a brand you’ve probably never heard of: LuggageWorks
Thanks for watching! I'm a one-man team, so a Like and a Subscribe will always mean a ton to me.
Wow, this vid blew up! Was a year in the works so it means a lot. Answering some common questions below:
1. It’s the LW Stealth 22”
2. As I say in the video, I do *not* recommend people buy this unless you're a pilot, flight crew, or daily traveler.
👉 link to a carry-on I *do* recommend: type jo.my/carryon into your web browser
3. No, this isn’t an ad. I bought this myself in March 2022 after doing my own research, I’ve had no contact w/ LW or any of their affiliates, and am not and have not received compensated in any way. They never even replied to my emails when i reached out for comment 😭 My account in general is impressively unprofitable since I haven't accepted a collab in about 18 months, but being able to say what I want, when I want, however I want is priceless to me.
4. No, I don't own this own company nor do I do any dropshipping at all. Neither of them appeal to me and both of those professions make more money than what I do. Also I wasn't born yet when LW was founded.
5. I'm a one-man team, so if you liked this video, every 'LIKE' and SUBSCRIBE will always mean a ton to me. 💙
I was a flight attendant and my boyfriend is a captain. The luggage they use is good, but Briggs and Riley is better. Boyfriend switched over 2 years ago and swears by them. No J hook but they do have a strap that does the same thing. A lot more light weight and there is a warranty so you can have it fixed for free!
Also, interestingly enough but luggage works wasn’t the standard issue for my company. It was travel pro (don’t buy lmao) but literally all the pilots knew those bags were trash and would buy luggage works.
This video was so informative and well done with the clear pros and cons of the luggage. Thanks for giving us a real honest and balanced review; and keep up the good work!
Luggage needs bigger wheels to deal with rough ground better.

You think luggage is only toted at airports???
fun fact luggage works was started by an airline pilot who got tired of needing to buy new bags when his got ruined
Almost every company uses this same line, including Travel Pro, and others.

The weight is the real problem here. A pilot doesn't really care about the weight only about the sturdiness but a passenger DOES care about the weight.

Would baggage handler potentially treat it better?
No because the baggage handler would know immediately that it isn't the pilot's luggage because pilot's luggage is not going in the cargo hold with the passenger's luggage. They keep their luggage in their crew compartments. Reason you never see pilots or crew waiting with the passengers at the luggage area after a flight.🤣
@@Jayjay-ef2gtthey may perceive it as a pilot’ that’s just a passenger today
@@Jayjay-ef2gt pilots fly as a passenger too.. ALL THE TIME.... they are flown to there they are needed
@@Jayjay-ef2gtou’re kinda right but it depends on the aircraft. Most domestic US flights are in a 737, they don’t have crew compartments We load crew bags with claim at gates. So they are the first to come off the plane along with any pets or mobility aids like wheelchairs. They usually always go in pit 1 forward cargo pits The only thing that separates it’s from passengers bags is a cargo net. You couldn’t pass off a passenger bag as crew bag as crew bags have special tags And it won’t get treated better. Sorting belts use hundreds of pounds of pressure to sort bags in the piers. It needs that much force cause everyone has heavy bags upwards of 100lbs. That’s how most bags get damaged. People buy plastic luggage and it breaks on the sorting belts. I’ve even seen people loads their electronics on these cheap plastic luggage and by the time it gets to piers from ticket counter the wheels are already snapped off and there’s a big crack on the side
@@William-Morey-Baker but they still probably just carry it on.
“I asked”. It’s so simple. We should all do more asking in life.
That’s how I make $1000 a day now just by asking people what is this, what is that, how to do this, how to do that. Easy. But it’s also difficult because it needs hard work as well. In turn, it becomes a skill.

And as a airport employee I can tell you that it also is the bag that gets thrown around the most
Funny how pretty much all pilots don't check their bags.
This. My step-grandfather was a baggage handler for years. My boyfriend’s dad is a pilot. The animosity!
I imagine if it’s that heavy 😂
They don’t check there bags so no they don’t!
@@ItMeSinamenRollthere is zero animosity try again!
I’ve had mine for about 13 years as a pilot using it roughly 4 days a week. It’s a tank and has taken a beating. Dragged through snow to the bus stop in chicago for a decade, had to have the bottom cast rebuilt twice because sidewalk salt/chemicals caused the wheel axles to eventually fuse to the wheel bearings to the point where they weren’t removable. The side rails have bowed over years as most do. Black paint is chipping away from the metal back plate and rails from slamming it up stairs. 3 years of commuting to various cities as well. At the regionals it was gate checked for every deadhead and was at the mercy of rampers where I would occasionally lose zippers or clips. It looks worn and I regularly get an “omg how long have you had that bag” reaction from other aviation employees and co workers but considering I’ve been living out of it for over a decade and still on my new hire bag shows how impressive of a bag it is. Most FAs use travelpro, getting out of crew vans I’ve seen numerous FAs with broken bag handles, struggling to extend or retract them or one of the handle rails is completely gone. They just seem like cheap plastic bags but probably more sturdy than your casual passenger bag but can’t hold a candle to the durability of LW. If I used a regular travel bag I have no doubt I’d be on at least my 5th bag by now, this thing is solid.
Would you recommend to a regular person or just for pilots?
@@alonsomendoza1300I would say it depends. If you travel a lot, I do mean A LOT! Then LW or Strong Bags (the brand I use…also designed by a pilot) might be the way to go. I’m a flight attendant and got tired of replacing my travelpro every 2 years.
In a lot of countries this is too heavy for carry on, the limit is usually 7 kgs. This bag comes to 6.8kgs 😂 So pilots obviously don’t have the same weight limits as passengers.
Mmqqn
I was like.. what’s the Grateful Dead have to do with any of this?
Yeah I use baggageworks and got on the plane and they led me too the cockpit.
I ended up flying myself to Florida.
Weird day but surprisingly chill.

Cool story.
@@nuh_uh210 thank you
😂😂😂😂
Cool story bro 🆒🆒🆒
Flight attendant here! We use luggage works and Travel Pro for a few additional reasons as well.
1. Most airlines require us to have solid black luggage, and some require no hard shell suitcases with 4 wheels. Also, when we work, we don't check our bags into cargo, they go in the cabin in the overhead bins. The only time we might have to gate check our bags is if we are "deadheading" which is basically us flying as a passenger to reposition for our next working flight.
2. The reason we don't use hard shell suitcases with 4 wheels is because some planes (like the CRJ 200) have overhead bins that are too small for those.
3. Some airlines give us allotment for new uniform pieces/bags. So usually the lugagge brands are LW or Travelpro.
4. And lastly, we use LW and Travelpro because they have a built in clip at the top to connect the J hook which most other brands do not have. We need these J hooks to hold those additional smaller bags aka (crew coolers) which usually hold our next 4-5 day's worth of food. Hope that helps explain a bit more!
And yes, most pilots use the metal frame ones in the video and most flight attendants use the Travelpro rollaboard. If you use either, flight crew will probably think you're one of us haha. They are both good brands, they may be expensive but they are pretty durable so it's worth it.
I'm a CRJ pilot and I use a hard shell 4-wheeled suitcase ("Away" brand). There's no rule against it. The only rule is "flight crew's luggage must be black." Far lighter than a LW case, and it does fit in the CRJ-200 overhead!
I have a Travel Pro. That thing is amazing and hasn’t failed me yet
I'm a big fan of Travel Pro!
AA pilot suggested TravelPro. ❤
I’m sorry, the next 4-5 days worth of food!? They don’t feed you despite taking you away from home!?
And only for a small price of 459.99 this beauty can be yours.

congrats, if you bought this for almost five hundred dollars, you fell way too hard for this ad
@@wd5807 I didn't buy it, I was just curious so I searched it and that's the price that came up which is ridiculous for a suitcase
@@gru6y17 bro whyd you buy it
“luggageworks, our luggage works”
- their slogan, probably
I’m a pilot and I use Briggs and Riley. 1/4 the weight of luggage works just as tough and an even better warranty.
keep in mind airline employees have different needs than travellers. They are frequent users but generally aren't going long distances, and the inset wheels are durable and use less room. But if you're going long distances all at once the drag-behind kind tend to hurt your arm after a while whereas spinners aren't as durable but are much more comfortable because you can push it ahead of you.
Yas! My moms a flight attendant and when I would grab her bag my should would quite literally be ripped from the socket. 😂
and dragging the two-wheeled carry on sized bags is a nightmare since the handles dont extend far enough. always getting whipped around and all im doing is walking with it.
The J hook design makes it so that the second, smaller bag in the back makes the handle feel weightless. I also often push mine ahead of me
@@Abra089 this is the correct answer. I’ve had mine since being hired at my first Airline in 2019 and it’s still going strong. Virtually weightless and I show people all the time that I can pull it usually with just a finger strength.
Spinners are great to wa li through an airport but shit for walking around European cities.
as a baggage handler, I love and hate these things. hate because of the weight and the fact they only have two wheels to roll around on so you can't move them completely upright like 95 percent of the other luggage. but also love because these are so... square and easy to stack while gripping whatever surface they are in contact with, less sliding around. but yea, these things r durable as hell, and if you have one you're almost guaranteed to have it loaded over other luggage because as he said, virtually only pilots carry these, so they are given priority if there is a capacity limit in the cargo bin.
That is amazing! im going to buy one just to not have my bag squished anymore😂 and with that bag it wouldn’t even matter hahah
I used to be a ramper, now I'm a lead, but those things were the bane of my existence. Sitting in the front pit waiting for claims to throw in pit 1, they hand you that and you swing it up onto your legs, only to get a hard 90° sheet of metal slam into your shin. Good times....
Hate because you can't throw it as far in an attempt to damage everything inside and outside
Okay guys, here's the plan: Buy Luggageworks' stuff.
Thank you for your work, Ethan. From what I heard, being a baggage handler is hard work for little pay and recognition. I hope you know as a passenger I am grateful you work so hard to move my stuff from one place to the other so I can go on vacation/travel.
Husband is a pilot and yes, he uses Luggage Works. He never checks his bags but the hold up for YEARS!
Here are the four reasons many of the pilots I work with use either a Briggs & Riley, a StrongBags, or a TravelPro Crew5 instead of the LuggageWorks bag:
1. LW bags weigh twice as much as the other options
2. LW bags cost far more than the other options (except Briggs & Riley, which costs even more than LW!)
3. B&R, StrongBags, and TravelPro are all very durable, and have good warranty & repair options.
4. B&R and TravelPro come in a 4 wheeled version, which is very handy and which some of us prefer.
After getting a luggage set that rolls on 4 wheels, I refuse to go back to 2 wheeled luggage.
Wait till you try those roll straight facilitating wheels bytravel pro . It’s even more lighter to push forward.
@@mrc79 are they heavy and long lasting?
Two wheels are nice on cobblestones and older infrastructure that isn't wheelchair accessible and nice and flat. If your location to location is modern then 4 wheel is the way to go.
2 wheels are superior for actually covering distance and rougher terrain. 2 wheel setups have a larger diameter and roll better.
@@Flu_Tang_Clan good thing you can always just lift it up and run it on two wheels
Flight deck crew use different luggage than cabin crew generally. Cabin crew use TravelPro most of the time. At least in the US.
Yup. I was issued a LuggageWorks. Opted for the steel frame. It isn’t as large as what my non airline friends carry, but I can fit a weeks worth of gear in it. The briefcase that hooks into the J hook is a must. It fits perfectly next to my seat and holds plenty of snacks, electronics, and other creature comforts.
The durability is what really sells it. The average consumer isn’t going to be on HUNDREDS of flights per year. With that much use, you need something that can be hit by a truck… Because it might happen.
Even with all the durability, we get new ones every 4 years.
The zipper came off my rear pouch. The ID holder is ripped off. Can’t wait for my new one in a few months.
That being said, it still rolls beautifully and none of my stuff has been damaged inside it.
Added perk is that no passengers ever mistake your bag for theirs.
PS: I definitely know the guy with the blue carabiner clip
My dad has been a pilot for 22 years and 15 with Southwest Airlines, he had the original suitcase they ever made and had never gotten a new one, just yesterday he got a new one but it is safe to say for a person traveling 5 days a week every week for 22 years, those suitcases are decent
I think decent is an understatement

@@imryujins Was gonna say this, most pilots I see use Travelpro, but I only really fly AA.

Here in Brazil, the airliners provide the luggage to the crew members. It has to be standardized and carry the company brand, because, after all, we're the company ambassadors.
I was going to say the same about Angola! My mother’s been flight crew since I was a kid hehehe
Are you Adriana Lima’s brother? Can you put in a good word for me?
Our luggage is provided too, just in a slightly different way. We get credit each month towards uniforms and luggage. We can pick what we want but there are rules to what the bag can look like (all black, no big logos). So in the end we don’t pay for the bags or uniforms either, and they are all standard.
Lmao tell that to Wizz air
Ta ai os br kkkkk
The biggest issue with those bags are that they are heavy as hell so it cuts into your carrying capacity (which can be an issue as a passenger) and they aren't flexible if you need to squeeze them into tight spaces. Many airlines will not issue these but might compensate pilots if they do. Source- I'm former flight crew

Pilots also seem to be in great shape so maybe this is the key. I’m sold.
I have the exact same bag flight attendant in training love this thing to death durable reliable and awesome! My friend who’s a captain passed it down to me after he had it since 2008. And still to this day it works flawlessly. Later on I’ll definitely retire it and get newer one but for now it’s amazing! The wear and tear adds character to it!
The LW handle is so annoying. I have to fix the teeth in mine every 8 or so uses because the metal handle wears down the metal teeth that lock the handle. I haven't tried strongbags. I'm considering switching to the LW Auroa for this reason. Flight attendants almost exclusively use travel pro. The only FAs using LW bags are ones that date pilots.

My father has that luggage because he’s a pilot and I’ve used it, hitting myself many times and I’ve been confused for a pilot many times too. Soooo yes what he says in the video is true but it’s a great luggage. (If you hit yourself by accident with this you’ll feel it for quite a long time, because it’s like a metal box with wheels)
Proud user of a TravelPro carry on. My dad bought it 30 years ago. He was all proud that it’s “pro”. I still remember when he brought it home. I still can’t get over how it holds up. It’s really beaten up now and I keep fixing it, but it still outlasts any one of those crappy four roller bags. Cheers to many more years of travelling.
I carry a Travel Pro. I've had Luggage Works. It's great, but heavy.
that is such a good ad i swear i almost fell for it myself
My dad is a pilot and I can confirm that he uses this
It’s alright, my school bag weighs 13lbs everyday and I don’t carry it in my back half the time so I’ll be fine
As someone with a flight attendant sister and pilot dad, this isnt the bag they use but my luggage definitely gets treated better cause it has the companies logo on the side of it hahah
Most importantly, they are repairable.
My Dad's a pilot and he's had two luggage works bags in the past almost 15 years that he's been working in the airlines. Great bags.
My dad’s been a commercial pilot ever since I was a kid, and I still remember how heavy that bag was when seven year old me tried to pull it up stairs for him. 😅
I work on the road doing pavement marking. I live in hotels around OH, PA, and WV for six months out of the year and I go through a bag every other year. This thing looks like a god send.
Painful if it hits your leg.
Honestly, sounds good for people traveling train/car/boat and still want a reliable bag.
The weight definetly holds it bag for regular flight passangers lol
Any job openings? I got a buddy out in PA who’s looking for work.
Yeah they don’t expand though so don’t be expecting to pack too heavy. Most crew members are only out for 2-4 days in most cases. My company has us on 7 days and it was hard to get used to packing so light in this thing.
As a Pennsylvanian you might just need this bag for when traveling through 😂 those PA potholes are no joke
Yup. I have had 3. They will take a beating. And, if something breaks, you can send it in and the company will repair it.
I have a couple of rimowa suitcases from a lufthansa pilot. The suitcases were for 25 years in daily use and still in decent condition

I've been using my army issues duffle bag for 14 years now. Cheap, durable, weighs like 2lbs.
The way these commercials targeting us😂
My dad’s had the same one for the 20+ years he’s been flying. Every 5 or so he’ll get the fabric repaired at a local shop and it’s as good as new!
I used to work for LuggageWorks. They have a repair shop. And a sewing shop. Everything is put together and majority made in the USA. Some materials are from other countries but they keep it very few. They have lifetime warranty on their pilot luggage and uniforms. So anytime they need a repair they send it in. Everything gets cleaned up and replaced.
"Is there another pilot in this plane?"
"This man is. I mean just look at his bag."
Pelican cases are so nice they are water proof and very very durable i’ve been using it for 3 or 4 years now and it’s amazing
Luggage Works is just okay, after a while it will really start to show it's wear and tear. But if I were to get a LW again I'd choose the hard plastic version rather than the steel.
However, for a much better bag that flight crew also use that has a no questions asked warranty, Briggs & Riley 22" is definitely the way to go.
I was a previous flight attendant and the company I worked for used to give us all the same luggage so we would look more organized 😊

It’s not from that it’s from sitting for decades in a floating tube in the sky and soaking up all that cosmic radiation
@@SneakyCaleb Only the finest ionizing radiation for us.
Thankfully most modern jets have a UV shield for the side window. I’m unsure of how much good it does, but with the dramatically increased rates of skin cancer on pilots’ forearms, any protection is welcome.
I looked up the Brand and alot of Airline employees getting a discount on them so seems like luggage works, has a partnership together with Airlines. That also might be a reason why so many have them
I was a flight attendant and they sold it at the HQ store. So many of us bought it from the store because the cost can be deducted from the paycheck. So that's why you see airline crews use the same brand. Additionally, many opted to buy TravelPro brand themselves. But that was 20+ years ago. Not sure if that's still around.
Best product promotion I have seen till now 😂

@@Rafmeistr referring to literally every other ones
You don't need a licence for this bag but it is almost 500 bucks
Because they usually sell them for less/nothing but charge the companies instead.
Selling them to individuals is often more of a hassle than its worth in revenue
Think of it more like the Costco model of business.
Yeah, when your bags have weight limits, you've got to consider it a risk assessment. The heavier bag is more sturdy and more likely to keep your atuff safe in transit, but it will either cost more or make you bring less.
That is cool to know though.
Funny how things change.

Luggage works is amazing but make sure to have some markings that say not crew or your bag may end up at the top of the jetbridge instead of the baggage carousel. My partner was searching frantically one time when the ground crew assumed it was a pilots at a smaller airport. Also some regionals used to make their pilots put the luggage in the cargo so it didn’t take up cabin space and the ground crew would leave them on the plane.
This.
Most of us adorn ours with stickers and tags to make ours identifiable when stacked with a bunch of other crew bags.
I have actually been looking for this bag. Thank you. 😂
Be mistaken as a pilot is probably the best accident in this case. Ive always wanted to be a pilot.
Tbh they should put some kind of universal label on these bags to know it's the captains. I once accidentally took the captain's luggage when we were exiting the plane cause I thought it was ours🤣.
wouldn’t mind being mistaken for a pilot tbh
Pilots don't check their bags..... So your luggage lives a different life
Here’s a tip…tie a bright colored ribbon on it of a odd color to make it easy to identify yours from the other look alike bags.
Oh no I would never want to be mistaken for a pilot. One the coolest professions
That's pretty amazing to know...
Even I would consider buying that for my self !!
In Europe, crews take only their cabin bags with them, the suitcases are dropped at the aircraft before boarding and put in the crew hold, after landing down route the crew suitcases are handled by the station and is waiting for the crew at baggage belt. Very convenient.
God, i wish i could travel enough to notice multiple pilots using the same luggage...
I used a Makita tool bag on my last flight. It is not that expensive, but sturdy too, and it's very easy to find at the airport since nobody else is using Makita bags there
That’s..genius
My dad is a pilot (going on 15 years now) and luggage works is the only brand he trusts. Like he used the same luggage works bag for at least 10 years before he ordered a new one just like 2 years ago and he loves them so much he ordered me, my mom, and my sister one because they are so good and durable.
He bought you all the same sized luggage he uses for work? Can you fit everything you’d need in it for a week or more of traveling?
I hope this is available in the Philippines.
My dad is an airline pilot and he uses a standard-issue bag as well. One time I was traveling with him and a flight attendant accidentally took his bag thinking it was hers. We had to chase her down to get it back lol
I still laugh at the memes from that Qantas video 😂
As a person who travels once in 5 years, I'm fine with cheap bags
Crazy to see how integrated advertising has become on platforms like this. Scary times we live in.
Conductors and engineers are the same way, it's either Autumn Creek or Red Ox bags.
I don't think airline crew actually check in their bags while on duty. I always see them walking out from the plane with their luggages.
I am a aircraft mechanic and these things are super useful. I got ot off my pilot store. If you know anyone who is rough on items this is amazing
