In response to Porsche911 (a very nice car), I can pack in under an hour. It's mostly bulky suits, jackets and coats which fill it up quickly.
I've more or less talked myself into the Limbo. Although, I need to find a shop which has the sizes and color I want for a final check.
However, I have been reflecting upon some of the comments I've read in the forums regarding the pros and cons of the clamshell design. For my checked luggage this is not an issue. It might even be an advantage since one of my reasons for two bags is redundancy. That is I divide things up so that I can readily deal with a single bag being delayed by a day.
However, one comment was about the use of a clamshell for one's carryon when you want to have access during the flight.
How does it work in those situations?
Do any owners of a Rimowa Cabin Multiwheel have any particular suggestions or packing tips relating to accessing one's carryon during the flight? Most of the items in my carryon I actually want to access during the flight.
Again thanks to those who have responded.
I've just started using my Limbo IATA cabin multiwheel (midnight blue). I put some things in the zippered pouches/dividers like toiletries, laptop power adapter, and a book that I might want to access quickly. But I haven't actually tried to get to them while on a plane yet. My thought is if you're up in business/first then there should be enough room to open up the clamshell either on your seat or the floor area in front of your seat. It won't be elegant. I couldn't imagine it would be practical to do at all back in economy.
