The reviewer’s only complaint is that the attractive golden lining lacks zip pockets and pouches around its perimeter for small items. When laid on its back, the Air Travel Backpack opens like a suitcase, making packing easier than with a standard backpack. Inside, compression straps and gold-coloured rip-stop lining help organize belongings, while lid pockets hold toiletries, cables, and larger documents.
The spine includes an elasticated stretch pouch that accommodates a large water bottle and lies flat when unused. The rear business section holds a laptop and tablet in faux-fur-lined areas, alongside pockets for documents, batteries, headphones, and pens.
