___________________________________________________
As a regional flight attendant (50+ flights/month), I live out of my suitcase—so let’s talk the best carry-on for real travelers. Today I react to Aly Smalls’ pick (Travelpro Maxlite 5), test the 2-wheel vs 4-wheel debate, and show the $10 carabiner counterbalance hack crews use to save your wrists.

We’ll cover:
• Airline sizers & why “fits empty” ≠ “fits when stuffed”
• Small-plane overheads, expandable zippers, and bin-break delays
• The Pain Test: pain in the body (wrist/heels), pain in the ass (wheels, tipping, straps), pain in the neck (flop-open zippers, lifespan)
• Why crews still love 2-wheel (and how to make it glide with one finger)
• My bag lineup: FA rollaboard, wheeled backpack (and why I ditched it), coolers, the 4-day under-seat-ish computer bag that doesn’t flop
• Emergency gate hack: the flat tote/plastic bag trick to make an overstuffed carry-on fit

💬 Question of the day: Team 2-wheel or 4-wheel—and what’s your #1 carry-on regret?
