Some people avoid checking in their luggage because it’s a short trip, others do so for cost reasons and others may have a tight connection or just simply out of habit.. I’ve done it for the first three reasons and it does take more planning.. eg no sharps like my swiss knife and no fluids So, I'm due for a conference in Manila and I was told that the airport isn't the best https://www.rappler.com/business/naia-worst-airport-asia-new-operator-san-miguel-incheon-turn-things-around/ So I've decided to just bring a carry on, maybe a backpack / trolley with wheels and avoid the whole process.. So I've asking what do others do and do share your tips. For shorter trip with no business clothes, I'll take the smaller Osprey or my old Eagle Creek (EAGLE CREEK TRAVEL GEAR WORLD JOURNEY LC) These definitely fit the criteria https://www.indietraveller.co/farpoint-55-review/ Or this one if there's no hiking If it's a multi-day trip, eg up to a week, I'll take my trusty Osprey, especially if it's SIA, because they are more flexi on larger carry on. Don't try it for budget airlines or US flights, they tend to be more strict, and definitely not for smaller planes, eg turboprops which have much smaller in cabin storage spaces They weighed my bags and me on such flights, partly to balance out the passengers I think.. I also took a flight across the Grand Canyon to flagstaff from LV and they were really strict. https://thepointsguy.com/reviews/luggage-review-osprey-farpoint-70-travel-backpack/ If you need to pack a suit, then I may choose a suit bag, and just add some socks / underwear if it's under three days. In Asia, you often get free toiletries, so I even skip those for short trips. When I was in Cambodia, I also used an Osprey Atmos 50 pack, and simply carried it onto the Silkair plane. (not related to Osprey, but I really like their stuff) Another thing is to pack or wear your suit, then it doesn't count towards the weight and luggage, especially if it's a large or thick rain jacket or down one. How about you?

Hi everyone, went to mustafa to look for luggage bags.. after looking thru it, was even more lost... too many to choose from, some were really cheap , some were really exp.. anyone got any good brands to recommend? where u guys normally buy ur luggage bags..

Here be luggage thread for discussion of our travelling companions.

been trying to get a cheap one. looking for those square size type, meant for laptop and small stuff to put inside. any one got any recommendation? i cannot afford Samsonite hor....... i only want cheap, fresh and tua lup.

Some how kinda hard to believe...could there be a misunderstanding or really it is normal? From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_773718.html Arrived at Terminal 1, luggage handled at Terminal 2 Published on Mar 5, 2012 I ARRIVED at Changi Airport's Terminal 1 on Flight SQ425 yesterday. After clearing Customs, I went to buy some beer at the DFS shop. While queueing, I saw a fellow passenger being asked to make his purchase at the DFS shop at Terminal 2 instead. He dropped the items and walked off with a look of frustration. When it came to my turn, a staff member explained that passengers who arrived on my flight were supposed to make their purchases at the Terminal 2 DFS shop, as the luggage handling was done at that terminal. She said this was because my point of disembarkation was 'very near' Terminal 1. This piece of information came as a surprise, and no one in the queue was aware of this at all. Why did the crew on board not advise the passengers prior to landing? Can a passenger clear Customs at Terminal 1 while his luggage is being handled at Terminal 2? And how does he make his way from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 without violating security regulations? I had no check-in luggage, but I could imagine the frustration and confusion of the other passengers. This could give foreign visitors a bad impression of the country. I was embarrassed to overhear one Singaporean passenger saying: 'This cannot happen in Singapore.' The relevant organisations need to provide an explanation. Song Heng Mun

Read full article here I wonder what is meant by other accessories? Did her undies get stolen?

I have a Samsonite suitcase bought in 2004 and all the four wheels had hardened and cracked. I called up Samsonite and was rudely told that each wheel costs $50 to replace!!! That's ridiculous, I might as well buy a new one. So, does anyone know of any third party luggage repair services at reasonable prices in town? Thanks in advance :)

Where is a good place to get Samsonite luggage at a cheaper price? Or is it fixed like Oakley here? Thank you.

Need advise as to where can I sent my luggage for repair as the wheels are spoilt. Google & found one @ middle road.... kinda far for my wifey. any lobang in the west? Thanks in Advance :)

Any bros/sis here can confirm that there is a luggage/bag cleaning outlet in Far East Square? I remember seeing it a few months ago when I was on the way to a makan joint nearby. Or anyone can recommend somewhere which does cleaning of bags? Thanks in advance!
