Depends in part what you're wearing, who you are flying with and where you are walking but I could never really get on with a small wheelie and far preferred a good travel rucksack (clamshell opening essential).
Much easier to walk around with outside of an airport (i.e. when the floor is not perfectly smooth), your hands are free, they are less likely to get checked at the gate (happens a lot with a hard wheelie), more flexible with packing and squeezing into lockers as they are soft, wheels/handle take up a surprising amount of room when you have limited space.
A ten minute walk with a backpack is absolutely fine, a 10 minute walk with a little wheelie bouncing around behind you is really annoying.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a hand luggage wheelie suitcase for someone that has to do a lot of travelling with work?
Every week I'm on flights, trains, walking between hotels and offices etc so I think I want something hard sided with a warranty.
Right now I use a AER travel pack 3, which is fine but I'd like a little more room for some gym clothes and trainers.
