Does anyone travel with an unwheeled suitcase?

>>1239782
Depends on my length of stay honestly. If I am staying a week or a less I usually just put things in a backpack. Those vaccum backs you can use with your hands are amazing.

If doing connecting flights and staying somewhere over a week without access to a washing machine then usually I'll get a wheeled backpack

don't do it lad

I have before and don't really like it. I prefer a backpack or duffle bag.

Add a duffel coat, felt hat and a few marmalade sandwiches and you're good to go.

Are you trying to be a special hipster kid? Don't do it.

If you're gonna be hipster, at least do it right.

I used to use an old Rimowa Silver Intregral that my dad got in the 90s. It's already got two wheels and it's really stable, but still looks nice and vintage. I used it because it was free though, not because I wanted to be a hipster.

Rimowa suitcases don't make you look like a hipster, they make you look like a courier.

Is there literally any reason other than being different and feeling like you look "cool" to use a regular suitcase without wheels?

>>1239782
I do, usually, sort of. Most of my travel is related more-or-less to showing up at festivals with a bunch of gear in a compression bag or two, or a couple of large duffles. Not really a suitcase, but definitely without wheels.

Usually top out at 45-50 pounds each -- if they made these with wheels I'd be a happy man, if the wheels and frame for them didn't kill my weight allowance. (Back when I had status and was allowed heavier bags, I would not have minded the wheel-weight)

Going to be moving your stuff across gravel, sand, etc. a lot is a reason to avoid wheels, at any rate.

To piss off people working at airports.
Wheels without wheels should be banned.

>>1239994

i think they are banned, becuase i havent seen one in years

>>1239994
Why would it piss off airport employees? Baggage handlers never roll suitcases on their wheels.

We do though. Easier to roll a 30kg+ bag in the cramped hold instead of fucking your back throwing it because some retard thought that a bag without 4 wheels was a good idea.

I've never seen handlers here do anything but throw bags.

Guess it works if you can affort to have others carry your shit for you all the time.

you know you can also carry a suitcase with wheels ? dumbass hipster

>>1239782
I tried it once when I ran away from home
terrible decision

you will be re-considering your need to travel after walking 30m

if you can afford to have your luggage portered and care more about appearances than being considerate to your help, then fine

but if you don't hire help it's a huge faux pas,
like having a cigar clipper without smoking or vice versa

anyone spending money to show off is a fool, rich and poor alike

I have traveled with unwheeled suitcases, but if for nothing else than airports I prefer wheels. I've got a small duffel (no wheels, obvs) that I still use somewhat regularly, that can be pretty easily perched atop a rollaboard for schlepping purposes.

My suitcase has no wheels because I am very tall and it is awkward to slightly lean over to my right to reach the handle on one and walk.

How much is enough to spend on a rucksack for travelling, it'll either be a £20 90L Amazon one or osprey farpoint 40. I'm traveling for 2 weeks in Japan

What do you guys think of soft suitcases and shoulder bags?

Take it to a cobbler and get it sewn up, or patched. Adds character.

Stuff like this.

>>1240038
then you have never seen behind the curtain

Large duffel bag. Small rectangular duffel bag. Backpack.

One gets filled with necessities and checked, one has my computer, blankets and other business/entertainment things, and backpack has things you would need on the plane like magazines, headphones, small electronics, and a travel blanket.

Scratch the small duffel and shove a chromebook in the backpack for shorter trips.


Bam, no wheels.
