Lowepro Photo Trekker AW II gets my vote. I've flown with it on small hopper planes around Ecuador, international flights to Europe, central and South America, and even domestic flights in the US with only one or two instances where they "tried" to valet it for me. I refused and would always let the attendant know that I am carrying around 15k in gear, and it needs to stay close. Currently I have my 1D Mark III attached to a 500 F4 IS L (hood reversed), 300 F4 IS L, 2 flashes, 1.4 and 2x TC's, and a 5D Mark II body in the bag, with a Think Tank Laptop case in the front zipper that I pull out when I get onto the plane. You can get a lightly used one on ebay for just over 100 shipped. I remember paying 250 back in the day and thinking THAt was a steal when BH had them for just over 300 at release. Its big, its heavy, but it gets the job done very well.
