It’s my opinion that a carry-on bag should be capable of being carried on by its owner. I would even go as far as arguing that a person should be able to lift the bag into the overhead bin without assistance (excluding individuals with special needs, the elderly, etc…) *Venting begins* Come on though. In one trip I was bumped in the side of the face/shoulder by a guy whose wheelie suitcase was packed so big he couldn’t see where he was going with it. After that I had to put my bag under my seat because all of the overhead space for my row of 3 was taken up by one guy’s giant suitcase. Another woman had 7 carry on bags (including camera equipment, souvenirs, etc) arguing that the bags belonged to her two (very young) children. *Venting ends* In an effort to spread the word about the huge selection of human-size (as opposed to grizzly-bear-size) carry-on bags, I thought I’d post about these cool new ones from Doug Dyment (a packing expert/designer) and Red Oxx (an engineering company that designs parachute bags).
