Does anyone ever have to pack suits (and have them come out wearable) or equipment? Many times I have to take reference manuals that take up 1/2 of a overhead-capable suitcase alone.
Can you ship ahead the manuals?
As for carry-on, I've done 2-week trips in carry-on backpacks. Discard old clothes, buy new from time to time (t-shirts, socks, etc.). BUT...most of my travel is recreational, not business.
As for first vs coach...for domestic give me a row of 3 seats in coach over a single seat in a full first cabin. I've downgraded in the past in these situations. The HUGE contrast comes during overseas flights.
