TLDR

The last personal carry-on you'll ever need.

The Night Flight Travel Duffel is perfectly sized for under the seat of a flight without wasting a modicum of space. Side pockets make accessing often-used items a cinch without yanking out the whole bag, while the main pocket lies comfortably in waiting under the carry handles.

  • Big side compartments for easy access in the plane
  • Shoulder or Hand Carry with comfortable scoops for easy pushing and pulling inside the plane.
  • A total of 8 o-rings to attach anything you need where you need it.

Full Description

The Night Flight is a new version of an older design. There are a few differences between this update and the older design:

  • Main pocket lining now Halcyon or Cerylon instead of hook-and-loop material
  • Additional o-ring in each of the side pockets
  • New pass-through strap

Grab and Carry Options

The Night Flight Travel Duffel comes with a multitude of grab and carry options. It comes standard with, well, the Standard Strap. Comfortably designed scoops at the bottom of the side compartments make it easy to grab even from the overhead bin. An oversized, squishy handle keeps the two individual handles together while carrying it while keeping balanced. Finally, if you don't feel like carrying it anymore, there is a passthrough for wheeled luggage handles.

End Pockets

A pocket etches a gentle curve in the upper third of each of the two short sides of the Night Flight Travel Duffel. These pockets are easily accessible even from under-seat, and are the perfect place to put a pair of earbuds, a Travel Pillow, or a quick treat on the plane.

Side Compartments

Above the end pockets, on each edge of the duffel, are the larger side compartments. They are mirror images of each other, a slip pocket inside large enough to fit an iPad Mini or eReader inside each, and as one would expect with us, two o-rings for your attachment needs.

Each pocket is quite large, measuring in at approximately 10" x 4" x 8" seam-to-seam. Perfect for even the largest things you want quick access with just a quick tug of the scoop to pull the side zipper out from under the seat.

Main Compartment

The main compartment is a generously sized open area measuring in around 10" x 7" x 8". The lid has a mesh zipper pocket for all the small knickknacks you want safely stashed under your handles. The compartment also has a bevy of o-rings, 4 to be exact.

What's Included

Standard Shoulder Strap
This one is a little different than most of our other shoulder straps, but not by much. No pad or grip, just a plain shoulder strap the width of our Standard shoulder strap.

8" Snaphook/Snaphook Key Strap
As with most of our bags, we've included a key strap. 8" long from tip-to-tip, a snaphook on either end. Good for attaching your keys to.

A Set of Black Zipper Pulls
A set of pulls to extend or replace your metal pulls.

What's Optional

Upgrade the Standard shoulder strap to an Absolute Shoulder Strap for a comfortable carry with even the heaviest load.

    Daily use

    The night flight duffle has delivered every aspect of simplicity with how I go to the gym and day to day activities. I have paired my night flight with the absolute strap, it works wonderfully. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a small bag with the ability to carry more than just the essentials.

    Great personal item or weekender bag

    I picked up a NFTD to be my in-flight personal item and also a little weekend getaway bag - works great as both. As a petite person, this bag has enough space to fit my shoes (women's size 6) and is a reasonable size for me to carry. One commenter had larger shoes that didn't fit, so it wouldn't work as a gym bag for them. I was able to pack a small snake charmer, clear 3DOC, and multiple mystery pouches in the end sections, a travel tray and a bunch of clothes in the central section. I like the mesh zipper pocket inside the central section for things like belts or chargers. The handle and shoulder strap are both sturdy and comfortable. I appreciated the grab handles at either end of the bag when it was under the airplane seat or overhead on a train luggage rack.

    The pass-through is a little snug for my roller bag handle (Briggs & Riley ZDX International Carry On) , but it does fit. I was spoiled by the spacious pass-through feature on the Pilot. Using the o-rings to attach everything gave me more peace of mind when traveling.

    Surprisingly, my Peak Design Large Wash Pouch fits in one of the end sections. My laptop doesn't fit, but a tablet and e-reader would. Overall this is a great little bag!

    Outstanding for European Travel

    Excellent size and easy to carry along with a backpack. I am on a quest to travel lightly in Europe keeping baggage to what I can carry easily myself without wheels. This bag worked perfectly along with a backpack. I am under 5' tall and was able to get both bags into overhead compartment. I also carried both bags through the airport to the local transport, walked to AirBnB and then up 2 flights of steep stairs. Will also be traveling by train.

    Exactly as billed, but would like to see some tweaks

    First off, let me say that this bag is exactly as described and has all the hallmarks of a TB product. I really appreciate the thoughtful touches like the pockets and scoop handles found at either end and the little stash pocket in the top flap. That said, I do wish the bag offered a little more flexibility in terms of how the interior space can be used. One change I would like to see is making one or both of the partitions between the main compartment and the side compartments zip-away-able to allow for carrying of longer/larger items, when needed. Having another 2-3 cm at either end of the main compartment would make this the perfect gym bag for me. As it is, I have to struggle a bit to get my shoes in and out. All in all a great bag--added versatility would really take it over the top for me.

    Hello Michael! We appreciate your feedback, and it brought a smile to our faces! We did explore the idea of interior zippers to expand the main compartment during our design process. However, for several reasons, it didn't make it to the final design. It's great to hear that you had the same thought as us!

    Great Small Bag!

    This bag works great for smaller 1-2 day out of town trips as well as a personal item on flights for longer trips.

    For shorter trips I normally fill the center with a couple t shirts, underwear, and socks. Then the 2 side pockets work great for my toiletries, chargers, and cables. Anything more than that would be pushing it though.

    For longer trips I’ve used this as a person item to hold all my non-clothing items. I fill up a Techonaut 30 with all my clothes and my laptop, then the NFD is used for my toiletries, chargers, cables, headphones, tiny water bottle (250ml), and other misc travel items. Works great!

    It also is indeed the perfect size to fit underneath a seat on a flight, attached picture is from a recent trip with Delta. Also, you can easily turn it to the side as well (the opposite position of what’s shown in the picture) and then slide your fleet to the flanks of the bag so you don’t loose any leg room!

    Overall a great piece of kit, I travel very often and this will be accompanying me on all my trips now due to its versatility.

It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?
