The problem is indeed all the wheelie bags. Which is why I don't understand why they chose to reduce the dimensions of the 'extra' bag. In my opinion, if you take a wheelie bag, your second bag should go under the seat in front. The bigger it is the less room you have, but that's the choice you make. What difference does it make to the space available if my second piece is bigger than the sizer but still goes beneath the seat? If anything they should be reducing the wheelie bag size.
Be careful what you wish for
