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

    So it is not actually about the bag or it’s size or weight, it is about the relative weight of the bag to the persons strength? Massive guy: big and heavy bag. Tiny woman: small and light bag. Correct?

      No

      Wheels enable people to pack too much stuff, since they don’t have to carry it

      People should either pack less or check their bags

      If you are not CARRYING it. It is not a CARRY-ON.

      Semantics, but also if you disagree, you should be up voting the post and telling me you hate me

      Reminder that this is unpopular opinion

        You say no, but what you then say seems to agree with what I say: A massive person could have a big bag far larger than what is allowed now and vice versa with a small person.

        But now it seems to revolve around the “carry” part, you think that this is specifically about carrying something, as “without touching the ground”. Since carry has more meanings than this very specific one, that is where you are incorrect. Have a look here.

        As strong as a big guy, yes.

        You aren’t going to pack as much muscle on someone that’s 5 feet tall as you will on someone 5’8".

        Also, if you use muscle mass as the metric for “tiny”, as in thin, then decidedly not, since that’s the fundamental requirement for strength, muscle mass. A “big” woman is stronger than a “tiny” woman.
