I was forced to check a carry on and they broke my luggage. Sigh.
👍
With few exceptions, carry-on only with a backpack as personal item. I’ve done exactly for every trip I’ve taken the past 15yrs with the exception when I was taking things to give to friends and brining back things from the friends. I’ve done 2 week travels many time like this. I had to wash my clothes every 5 to 7 days. So I’ll take about 7 pairs of socks and underwear, 2 pants, 2 pairs of shoes, 7-10 shirts (including undershirts I can also use as T-shirts), and toiletries.
Ah, yes, a debate on traveling by plane. Something the poor + working class does AT MOST, maybe once a year.
Nothing makes you show your privilege like having hot takes about a form of travel that a majority of Americans barely engage with.
The people who fly all the time really do think the fact that they work is all it takes to make them “working class” 😂
Get outta my face with your fluff piece B.S.
I’m carrying my bag on, I know how little the people who work in baggage give a sh!t about my luggage. (On the rare occasion that I do travel)
