I always travel light. Carry on/duffel bag and almost never luggage. These clowns lose my luggage anyways and they’re all clothes.
Besides, it’s the airlines fault for allowing idiot passengers and their obviously luggage “bags” and try to pass it on as a carry-on which is a major inconvenience for the rest of us who can stash our small bags in the bin.
There’s an innovation opportunity here. Design an “overcoat” with big inside pockets for shirts, socks, underwear, toiletries. Might look a little odd in the summertime, but what a money saver if you fly United.
My best friend is a well-known guitarist. He travels the world. He counts on the overhead bins as a safe place to put his guitars in their gigbags, He will not be happy!
