If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote…check which sub you are in

    The wheels are definitely about the weight. They promote packing heavier and more, since the owner doesn’t have to physically carry it through the airport. I bet you most of those wheeled bags are 40+ pounds.

      Counterpoint.

      I have a piece of luggage that I love. It is, to within an inch in each dimension, as big as any airline I fly will let on as carry-on (I’ve seen people carry on larger, but mine is within the stated limits). I can carry it fully packed to the point of nearly bursting, and have done so when one of the wheels was broken.

      But it has wheels, so if they’re functioning, why shouldn’t I use them?
