I used to travel quite a bit for work (never a month went past without visiting an airport and sometimes weekly). Now only for holidays and I HATE the way wheelie cases seem to have become the norm.
I hear the announcement “please place hand luggage under the seat infront of you” and think “NO, thats where my feet are going. If the overheads can’t take a wheelie case, put it in the hold”.
Getting on a plane early now does have a benefit. Its that or I will have to pay for business class again!
