Duffles is the way to go
I’ve decided not to risk an awkward and possibly expensive check-in confrontation and go with duffles that meet the 62” requirement. I am now looking for some that are reasonably priced, with a weight capacity of 70# and reviews that indicate they will survive more than one flight.

When I was traveling to Anchorage for a spell (2x/mo for 6 months), I always noticed at baggage claim on both ends of my trips, large Rubbermade totes that were wrapped entirely with duck tape coming out to be claimed. Maybe it's allowed on certain trips when they know people are shuttling goods to/from destinations.

Whenever I’m traveling and need to take a cooler, it’s in a box stuffed as if it were luggage.
