As crude oil prices continue to rise airlines are under greater pressure to cover rising fuel costs. Recently some carriers began adding fees for services that had previously been considered to be included in the ticket cost such as fees for checked baggage. As a result cost conscious travelers seek new strategies in their packing to work within the new fee guidelines without over-inflating the costs of flying. It is more critical than ever for the savvy traveler to find the best laptop computer bag to serve their unique travel needs.

Since the recent fee announcement by American Airlines for checked baggage, there have been numerous articles encouraging travelers to rethink the best use of the space in their carryon bags. Whether you are carrying a laptop bag for a Toshiba laptop or pulling a Targus rolling computer bag the carrying capacity of your bag is a valuable packing area. Many travelers are looking to eliminate checked luggage by packing clothing and other travel items in their carryon bag with their laptop. Rolled up clothes are easier to pack in small spaces and clothing items that take up a lot of room should be worn on the plane if practical to make the best use of space in the carryon bag. The best computer organizer bags provide flexibility to pack according to the traveler's individual requirements.

Typical size allowance for a carryon bag by many airlines requires them not to exceed 45 inches when totaling length plus width plus height or approximately 22" x 14" x 9". As an example for reference the case logic laptop computer bag offered on this website in the backpack style is 19" x 14" x 9".
