Yeah I agree with this completely. Better to pay to do laundry than lug around a bunch of bags.

And it’s the airports not the airplanes that make me anxious. Once I’m on the plane and in my seat, I’ve done what I was supposed to do, it’s up to the pilot after that.

Though if I’m somewhere for a few weeks I’ll buy a bag there and fill it with stuff I’ve bought and check it. But only a carry on when going outbound.
