And some of us take the time to appreciate that.

Deflated, Hoya's girlfriend fits nicely in the outer zip pocket of his Tumi.

i felt really bad for the people lugging all these rolling suitcases around the greek islands, off of ferrys and up huge staircases ... it's really amazing how much you can fit into something like this  and a backpack

When flying with your wife, 6 year old and 4 year old.
 
 And before someone throws that zinger out there, no I don't mean checking them as baggage.
 
 
 Edit:  didn't see all the other kid replies before i posted this...hadn't refreshed the page in a while i guess.

just out of curiosity ... do the kids also get to have two carry-on bags, even if the bags are bigger than the kids?

Alaska does.  And so does Air Canada (relatively cheaply).[/b]

True, but when I went to Toronto last year, I found a roundtrip on American for 199. Alaska doesn't fly from DC to Toronto or Montreal, I don't think.

Yeah I guess each passenger gets two carry ons.  When the 4 of us fly we usually have one big suitcase with the wife and kids stuff in in which we check.  A carry on size bag with my stuff which we check even though i wouldn't have to (when dragging kids around the airport the last think you want is a bunch of heavy bags to carry around).  Then we have one carry on with snacks and whatever we need to entertain us on the flight as well as anything totally important that we couldn't live without if luggage were to get lost like meds and stuff.  But yeah, if we wanted to i guess we could take 8 carry ons.  That would be totally awesome.

If my flight is direct, I almost always check my bag whether it's carry on size or not.
 
 I breeze through security with my ipod and a book and little else.  The airline staff appreciate it too.  After all, it's a FREE SERVICE on all but one airline.
