The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Part of the solution lies in the weight of the luggage itself.

Yes. These compression packing bags are useless given the weight limits. We have so much room left in our carry on bag, given the combined weight allowance of 26 lbs between the carry on and personal item. When we come home we will check the carry on and it can be 50 lbs all on it's own, (free checked bag,) allowing us to have more in our personal item if desired, such as souvenirs we are unlikely to buy. Size was not really the issue. Weight was the limiting factor.
