I will only check a bag if it is ABSOLUTELY unavoidable. With both kids full-fare this year that shouldn't be a problem! Ugh. Great info! I will only check a bag if it is ABSOLUTELY unavoidable.

There's just too much stuff we need to pack for him. Plus, I'm the type who would rather overpack than underpack! I used to only use carry-ons but now that I have a baby, we check our luggage.

We're planning a move across country (and away from family) so we'll be doing air travel a lot more in the future. I always, always, always cram everything into my carryon. It just makes things easier at every step of the process. Thanks for the great reference.

Anyway, This backpack would be a lot better than my typical echo friendly shopping bags.. My kids get embarrassed easily...lol Thanks for hosting and Merry Christmas! emeraldrose63@yahoo.com I love to fly when I get the chance, but it’s been so long since I did fly, due to a funds deficit… Anyway, This backpack would be a lot better than my typical echo friendly shopping bags..

Traveling by plane has become so difficult and dreadful to me! We only do so about once a year. Anything 8 hours or less is a driving distance. Any further, a plane trip is considered. If traveling alone, I would definitely carry on everything! I would prefer to have all carry-ons, but it’s not realistic with a family of 4 traveling for a week or more at a time.
