With a few simple modifications, this baby will be able to go off some sweet jumps.

        They do in Europe. It’s annoying. I had to rearrange stuff amongst four carry-ons while standing in front of the check-in counter because one of them was too heavy. It would have all evened out and they knew that because they weighed all of them, but they still made me do it.

          Considering how many aviation disasters are a result of incorrectly weighing passengers and luggage, in addition to incorrect weight distribution, I can understand the caution

            Okay that’s fair, I hadn’t really considered distribution on a plane. Still a bit silly when my carry-on was going to end up right next to my kid’s much lighter carry-on in the overhead bin, but whatever! I also know that policy is easy to lean on when consistently enforced. I did it in any case, even if I grumbled about it. (I was still nice to the agents though!)

          At the risk of sounding like an ad, the “Elala Pro Rideable Carry-On” is 21.3 x 9.1 x 20.5 inches

          Edit: the one in the larger top image is the “Master” model at 24.5 x 11.1 x 23.3 inches

          It’s technically a little wide but the carryon I use is technically wider than allowed and they don’t care unless you’re in the last boarding groups of a full flight

    Great for jousting on those moving walkways (not absolutely necessary but more speed, more fun) if you find another traveler with one and come up with something to use as a lance. Really helps pass the time on a long layover.

    YSK: If you have mobility problems, you can call ahead or just ask for assistance and the airline will provide a wheelchair and an escort to/ from the gate.

    Edit: this is a free service AFAIK, but handing your escort a five or ten bucks is polite.

    I like how the picture has a completely different seat that wouldn’t be able to travel with the suitcase. Also an entirely different design overall.

      Didn’t you hear? Advertisers are now using AI to make products look more appealing regardless of what they actually look like.

      After hours of scrutiny, I’ve determined that the product in the top (the Elila Master) is different than the one on the bottom (the Elila Pro)
