My two preferred #suitcases are the TravelPro FlightCrew 5 22" (non-expandable) Rollaboard, and Platinum Elite Carry-On Regional Rollaboard (which fits the underseat space). This is the max amount of #luggage most US domestic #airlines will permit a passenger to bring as cabin #baggage, so this is how much cargo capacity any vehicle should have as a bare minimum, per passenger, so that one can reach another mode of #transit or #transport.

US airlines mandate preflight bladder vacuum and enema to save 20 cents per person per flight. First class a-holes excluded, they will be fed pound cake pre-flight. Commoner people upgrades excluded from first class benefits. #airlines #PassengerAdvisory #USA

My flight to #EWR landed 25 min late. I only had 50 minutes to begin with and needed to change terminals. It was a bit of a jog through Newark.

They made an announcement asking folks to sit and let those of us with tight connections to get off first. About 200 people did that. I guess the farther you get from the White House and Calitol, the closer you get to generally decent people.

Next stop: Edinburgh for #Securitay
