I don’t use wheeled hard carryons. I’ve just learned to live with a 40L soft side travel backpack. Can travel with that for multiple weeks if it’s just fairly casual urban travel.
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess that I don't really have any of those backpacks whereas I do have a bunch of cases. In any case, I generally travel with my wife and family and we need a checked bag there, or for work where I don't care about the cost of the baggage.
But I basically never do the budget airlines.
