>>2828750we need at least 5 of these threads
>>2828672>having to deal with overhead storage and maneuvering your luggage through the aisleSorry you're a manlent and weak who can't simply lift the bag up.
>>2828672never understood this. I always just check in my duffel bag. Can easily store 2 weeks of cloths to make laundry easier + a lot of other shit. Good ones have backpack straps so once you get it you can toss it onto your back and be on your way. Sure it can get heavy but once on your back it's actually not bad and surely you're not a retard to walk from the airport to your hotel right?
>>2828801Yeah but then you have to get on a train with a bag, you look like a beta taking up space on the bus or train; and locals hate you for it. Rolling it down the street makes so much noise you know everyone is staring at you hating your guts as the wheels make noise. I stopped carry on once I went to Japan and people I heard giggling around me or across the street laughing or saying something loud, you knew they were just laughing at a silly foreigner with too much luggage.One Bag Chads, don't have to worry about this. Join the club and grow up.
>>2828808carrying a small duffle bag with some clothes and shoes in it is trivial
>>2828761>can't wait 10 minutes for a bagSorry your bladder's the size of a peanut.
>>2828761>Honeygirl needs her hairdryer and cosmetics UwU. You go girl, you got to look fiiiiiiine on vacay! Mm hmm
>Choose your fighterCarry-on if I am going somewhere for <1 monthChecked if I am going somewhere for >1 monthKeep it to a simple systemI'll also do checked if I plan to bring back any booze or souvenirs with me since putting it in checked is easier and free with my airline status.
Pic of my bag rn. Travelling almost a year with this now. Will never go back to check-in luggage backpack. I hitchhike a lot so I like something I can just grab and go and also light enough if I feel like walking a few miles to the next town. Love the freedom. A man should be comfortable with a spartan existence
>>28286721. don't be poor2. fly business class and get priority luggage handling3. your luggage gets to the carousel right when you do
>>2828912>3. your luggage gets to the carousel right when you dothis happens for me even on southwest...
>>2828946that happens with international flights since you have to go through passport control first
>>2828672I normally do carry-on even when it's the same price as checked because I'm a chronic over packer and can't be trusted with the size of a full suitcase and also I usually travel to places that are at most a 4 hour flight away so the additional time of having to come early to check bags and wait for them later significantly increases travel time. Also a full sized suitcase makes it much more likely I take cabs which I try to avoid. Once you're getting in 6+ flight hours territory or staying some place for 5+ days do I start to go checked.
>>2828808It's you one-pack assholes with the oversized backpacks who carelessly bump people around you when you're in a crowd. You're the reason why the Istanbul metro has signs telling people not to wear their backpacks on the train. >>2828946When the arrival terminal is separate from the main airport terminal, luggage can take 30+ minutes to arrive at the baggage carousel.>>2828867You don't travel with a laptop, I take it. Food and water often take up a big chunk of space in my luggage. Especially when walking around on foot in a hot climate, I never want to be without water. >>2828801Duffel bags are the ideal choice for a poorfag traveler. They're super cheap, spacious, durable and not worth stealing.
>>2828987>You don't travel with a laptop, I take it.There's a small laptop in there>Food and water often take up a big chunk of space in my luggage. Especially when walking around on foot in a hot climate, I never want to be without water.If I'm drinking water I have it in my hand. Why do you need snacks in your bag, fatty?
>>2829016You're pudgier than I am, guaranteed. I never take taxis, tuktuks, rideshares, etc. If I have to walk 5 km in 35 C heat to get to my hotel after wrapping up a 4 hour train ride in a sweltering carriage, I'm sure as hell not gonna do it dehydrated and hungry. There's gonna be 2 liters of water in my pack every time I set out, and some homemade market snacks as well for those ten hour van rides through the middle of nowhere.
>>2829234Ok. Well you're an over-prepared dork. Bottled water is the most readily available resource in any country. If you're getting off a train and walking to your destination, you don't need 2 liters of water and a bag of chips in your bag ffs. If you want water, just buy it and walk with it in your hand. What use is it in your bag anyway.>homemade market snacks as well for those ten hour van rides through the middle of nowhereYeah. I can buy them too. I buy them before I travel and get in the van carrying them in the plastic bag they were put in. Why do you need to put them in your massive luggage and then take them out.To me, this is about being a man. I was in the army, maybe that contributes to how I weight save and minimalize. But men should learn to live with less, live harder, Spartan lives and make peace and comfort with them. This is an innate charater value we have as men, after millennia of war making. Especially white men. You're simply not asking yourself >How can I travel with less? How can I be lighter?It's not about saving money, it's about gaining freedom. Not trying to emasculate you but this is a man issue.
Let me introduce you to THE bag>look like a military fag from the US so can board early to US airplanes if you play your cards right>make up some shit like you were in the service get free drinks and the better airline staff flirty with you>good way to ensure if your traveling and fuck up you can just point to the bag and throw on a shitty southern accent and get away with anything whilst making sure your country isn't to blame>some girls in countries it's a huge positive can use it as a huge flex>no foreigners will fuck with you ever, the scammers in thailand won't bother with pickpocketing you whilst on holiday>even if you hate the US the quality is still usually good and no one in a hostel is going to touch it less they see big bubba's BBC up their arse>stores all you needChecking luggage is for women and children, if you one bag you know how to travel.
>slim down to smaller bag>fits in overhead just fine>this flight makes me weigh it and it's over some bullshit weight limit>have to pay to check it anywayYeah ok. Fat people don't have to pay extra with their weight but here I am slim and trim getting robbed for 30 USD because my bag is a few pounds over weight. Fuck off.
>>2829323If it doesn't go on your back, it loses massive portability points. Being light and mobile is the whole point of carry-on luggage. You over-thought aesthetics here.
>>2829324It's the budget airlines in White countries that are always cunts about weight and size. I've had around 40 flights so far this year including connections and my carry-on is about 10kg. Never had to pay extra. Whenever available I check-in online (another advantage of carry-on only) and that skips one point where my bag may be weighed.
>>2829325Just pretend to be american and demand service industry staff carry it for you and brag about tips. It works if you fake it till you make it, besides if it doesn't just go "'m american and this is how we do it back home in texas!"
>>2829329I feel like walking 3 or 4 miles sometimes. If I'm hitchhiking and I don't have much further to go, or the scenery is beautiful. Walking with that thing bouncing off and rubbing on my leg for an hour. No thanks. Nobody would buy that if they thought it through. Looks good though.
>>2829324>>2829326I travel a lot for business, mostly Delta but sometimes Southwest/Jetblue because they're the only direct flights, and have never had my carryon weighed. Or at least not since e-checkin and qr code boarding passes became a thing
>>2828863It doesn't take ten minutes, you're forgetting the 30 minute line you waited in at your departure airport to check the bag too. Carryon let's you go straight to security instead of wasting your time waiting in line to print your baggage tag from a kiosk and then waiting in line to drop it off.
>>2829515It takes 1 minute if you pay the Skypcap 10 bucks.>I'm a cheapskateToo bad.
>>2829515No wait at all or 2 minutes at most when you can use the priority lane.
