Rolling Luggage
A Time to Get has some great advice:
“Unless you suffer from back, knee or neck ailments, your bag weighs over 40 pounds, or you are carrying more than two pieces of luggage, pick up your carry-on bag while walking through the airport.* What is it, 100 yards MAX from check-in to gate? Your arms should strain a little when carrying luggage, you should have to switch hands while walking to the gate, the pain lets you know you’re alive and capable.
I’m tired of tripping over small bags wheeling behind men, obliviously tugging them along four feet behind them on telescopic handles. Our Grandfathers didn’t wheel ten pound bags behind them, neither should we.”
