Hi there! Thanks for helping a newbie out.
I've used some wonderful bags on my travels, but never a Tom Bihn before. I hope that changes soon! What I'm looking for is quite specific: instead of having to unzip my backpack and fumble a bunch of items out before I can shove it in the overhead bin and take my seat, I would love to just have a simple little bag that can carry a few on-board essentials in it:
Once we're back on the ground, the bag just disappears into my carry-on again. What do you think would work best for me? I was looking at the small and medium Cafe Bags (Halcyon for extra lightness), although I am open to any other suggestions too!
Thanks in advance for any advice.

- an iPad
- a pair of Bose QuietComfort 3s, in their case
- an old United amenity bag that I use to carry earplugs, a face mask, hand cream etc.
- and possibly a small bottle of water.
