a shout out to BumpedAgain

Yes, I am glad that before I visited Japan, I was warned that there wasn't a lot of room on the train for bigger carry-ons. My backpack was really a little old Walmart bookbag that cost all of $15. It carried all I needed and didn't take up a lot of space. I can't even imagine what someone would do with a large "checked bag" type of bag. A larger carry-on would have been hassle enough.

Advantages -- able to be flexible for bumps and certainly save time in possible lost / delayed luggage. I just got back from a week in Japan and am certainly glad I travelled light -- using the rail system daily etc. I don't know what I would have done with a large bag.

But now that the First Class kiosks and baggage check have been "redone" at MSP, I have become disgusted and just carry on all of the time -- regardless if I have oversized bags or more than two bags. It works out since I am usally EUA'd into FC and the FA's seldom check or complain.
