we had a luggage thread

Carry-on luggage?

Is anyone particularly happy with their carry-on luggage? I've bought a small one a long time ago, but Lufthansa managed to break it after making me check it... I had a 21'' that was supposed to conform with airline requirements, but when I stuffed it full, it was actually a little too thick...

i believe @sleevedraw used to be a salesman, maybe get a few tips since you probably should upgrade to something more robust and easier to move

maybe also get an airtag or 2

Is there an android version of an air tag?

Because if I'm traveling to the half+ of the country that allows constitutional carry, or is reciprocal with my carry permit, I'm definitely checking a pistol in my luggage. Fuck going to some backwater shit hole for a week at a time without it.

Ditched Samsung quite a few years ago because prices got insane. Rolling with a Moto now and super happy with it, so Tile it is.

Thanks, Secret Asian Man.

I have a biz trip to Finland coming up. I'm going to be in a meeting for a day, but otherwise free to do whatever for however long I want.

I've heard from some folks that it's not worth renting a car, but to take trains everywhere. I also want to visit Norway and Sweden while I'm there.

Any folks visited these places? What's the best way to see the sites?

If it's still going to be nice weather I'd definitely recommend an excursion through the Norwegian fjords. Unreal beauty.

A bit of a necrobump... and some redundancy to what others already posted.

1. A good credit card is a must - look for ones that give bonuses for restaurants and flights. In my experience, hotel co-brands are generally less beneficial than those with airline co-brands, or restaurant bonuses.
2. As mentioned, sticking with one airline is preferable, but for hotels, there is not much benefit for loyalty once the highest tier is achieved for the year (which qualifies you for the next anyway). At that point, just start building tiers with another chain - keeping in mind which chains will eventually grant lifetime status.
3. Global Entry is a must!
4. Car rentals treat just like hotels, and once the highest tier is reached, just start building tier with another - having multiple high tiers means free upgrades even if the preferred chain is not available.

Interested to hear how it worked out for OP!
