Today I react to Aly Smalls’ pick (Travelpro Maxlite 5), test the 2-wheel vs 4-wheel debate, and show the $10 carabiner counterbalance hack crews use to save your wrists. We’ll cover: • Airline sizers & why “fits empty” ≠ “fits when stuffed” • Small-plane overheads, expandable zippers, and bin-break delays • The Pain Test: pain in the body (wrist/heels), pain in the ass (wheels, tipping, straps), pain in the neck (flop-open zippers, lifespan) • Why crews still love 2-wheel (and how to make it glide with one finger) • My bag lineup: FA rollaboard, wheeled backpack (and why I ditched it), coolers, the 4-day under-seat-ish computer bag that doesn’t flop • Emergency gate hack: the flat tote/plastic bag trick to make an overstuffed carry-on fit 💬 Question of the day: Team 2-wheel or 4-wheel—and what’s your #1 carry-on regret? 👉 Want my packing checklist & airport gameplan (free)?
