However, last week I had a weird Lansing to Savannah flight with two connections (Detroit and Atlanta). That meant getting on and off 3 flights, and it's the only time I think seriously and fondly about checking luggage. But here's the thing: if I had checked luggage and if there had been any delay or missed flights (both Detroit and Atlanta were super-tight running-to-the-gate connections), I might well have arrived without my stuff.
On 2 of those 3 flights, there was space in the overhead for my E-Bag Motherlode (which I heart). On the tiny plane I boarded in Lansing, however, the overhead was the size of a glove compartment. Remarkably, even on that small plane I was able to shove the bag beneath the seat in front of me. And because it's a black bag, it's not apparent that the bag is sticking out a bit. Just try to look comfortable and absorbed in your reading - so far this has worked for me.
tl;dr = one year into it, I'm still loving this 1-bag travel thing. Get more tips and ideas in my e-book!
