Ellington obviously had jetsetters in mind when it created the In-Flight Tote.
The styling is simple but classic. There’s no fluff or frippery about it, but its look isn’t likely to date any time soon. And in this periwinkle blue it does have a certain charm.
It’s not the best looking travel bag I’ve ever seen, but let’s face it: it doesn’t have to be. Airports aren’t exactly the most fashionable of places. They’re locations where sweat pants and oversized T-shirts rule, so all this bag really needs to do is its job.
And it does that very well indeed. The pockets you see up front and on the sides are just the start of the practical perks. There are in fact seven exterior pockets, and that’s all before we get inside. It’s large enough for stashing a bulky novel for the ride and a few basic toiletries so you arrive at your destination feeling fresh. This space is kept organized with a total of six mesh and zippered pockets. There’s also a panel organizer hidden away to take care of your cell phone, sunglasses, loose coins, and pens. The features don’t stop there; you’ll also find a removable coin and card wallet for those last minute airport purchases.
The handles are probably long enough to carry over your shoulder, but there’s another longer strap too should you want to wear the In-Flight tote cross-body style. And if you’re carrying luggage you need not use the strap at all. The back pocket unzips to help the tote easily fit over the handle of a pull-along suitcase.
While it might skimp on style, Ellington manages to give us a lot of value for the $79 price tag.
