This is the one I have.  I bought it from Adorama, in fact, before
leaving for 3 weeks in SE Asia last fall. I recommend it.

You can put all kinds of stuff in it, limited only by the strength of
your (or in your case your intern's) back.

I have a Tamrac with wheels but don't like it because the wheels are
too small and it keeps tipping over on uneven surfaces.  The Airport
Antidote solves that problem by not having wheels.  Simple. And the
removable laptop case can be used on its own to fit in the seatback
pocket or under the seat in front of you or even by itself (gasp) when
you don't need to be carrying all that camera stuff.
