So I just picked up the Air 2S FMC and was curious how you all pack your bag?  Here are some pics of how I am packing mine and was curious if this is how you all pack yours...

I have the drone where it should be, and I left in that cushioned insert for the gimbal to slot into so it sit snug in the back, and then on the right side of the bag I have the controller up front and behind it I have the 2 batteries followed by the power brick for charging and the 3 battery charger hub.  In the 2nd pic I have the 3rd battery on top of the first two, followed by the power cord for the charging hub and finally the ND filters...

You were looking specifically for FMC bags, but I thought I'd just add mine as well. It's a LowePro Adventura, and it's just a tad more roomy that the FMC bag, with a few more pockets as well. I'm using my previous cell phone with the controller, so it's always attached and ready to go. The joy sticks stay on too. The drone sits in the foam cut-out that it came with.

Thought I'd share my storage solution as well.  I'm using the Lowepro Tahoe BP 150 backpack and it seems like it was made for the Air 2S, 6 batteries, controller, all the charging cables/cords, and a landing pad.

Where did you get those battery bags?  Do they require those for travel?

I've traveled a bunch with my drone and I do not own those bags.  I think you need them if you plan on checking luggage that is going to reside in the underbelly of the plane, but if you just have a carry on, you can bring your drone on board as long as none of the batteries are actually connected to the drone.

Thanks for the info.

Looks like the M2 has the same bag (being way too big actually)

I purchased them on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don’t believe there is a requirement to have them when you carry-on. I purchased them for 2 reasons:
1. To keep the batteries from rubbing against each other in the backpack.
2. Out of an abundance of caution while having them in the house, just in case one does malfunction and has a meltdown.

I always pack the fMC bag the same way as DJI shipped it to me.

Also got the labels on Amazon as part of a package: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
