A modular luggage system includes wheeled flight bag with an externally demountable releasably attachable computer carrying case for carrying a delicate instrument such as a portable computer. The wheeled flight bag has wheels on a bottom wall and a retractable handle incorporated in an integral frame running up a back wall. The front of the flight bag includes a projecting member or salient tongue spaced a selected distance from a releasable fastening member. A computer carrying case adapted to be externally demountable from the flight bag has a bottom wall and a back wall including a receiving slot or aperture for receiving the salient tongue mounted on the flight bag. The computer carrying case also includes a releasable fastening member spaced such that when the computer carrying bag is mounted upon the flight bag, the salient tongue is received in the receiving aperture and the computer carrying case fastening member locks, buckles or otherwise fastens with the cooperating fastening member mounted on the top surface of the flight bag. Preferably, the computer carrying case includes a carrying handle spaced apart from the back edge of the top wall. In use, one may grasp the computer carrying case handle with the right hand and, with the thumb, depress a button or otherwise actuate the releasable fastening member, thereby releasing the fastening members from one another, such that the computer carrying case may be lifted and withdrawn away from the flight bag. The computer carrying case preferably includes a shock absorbing suspension or impact absorbing cushions for providing protection to the delicate instrument enclosed within.
