Not a bad idea, but often I'll find myself going through this cycle 4-5 times between my seat on the plane and baggage claim.
- Carry bag down the stairs to the tarmac.
- Roll it to the bus.
- Roll to the stairs at the terminal.
- Carry bag up the stairs.
- Roll it towards immigration.
- Carry it down the stairs.
- Roll it through immigration and to baggage claim.
- Finally put it up on baggage cart.
This is the reason that it ends up caught under the wheels. Once in a while I'll forget to make sure it is in the right place before I start rolling.
