It's even less practical for a family with a couple of small kids to lug around dozens of cases and 2 pushchairs, etc. The whole thing doesn't add up. Sigh.
I agree entirely - my trips are generally for a few weeks. I was happy with my big case on wheels which sometimes weighed approx. 26Kg, a wheeled cabin bag and my laptop bag. I cannot see how I could manage an additional case given that I currently have one in each hand and the laptop bag on my shoulder.

Furhtermore, as my laptop now has to go into the cabin bag, I can't carry as much with me onto the plane and will need to put more into my hold bag.
