How strict do you think Lufthansa is regarding carry-on measurements? I'm going to be gone with my father for 3 weeks and I was trying to pack my travel backpack with minimal success. And my older carry on luggage is destroyed so I've been looking online for carry-on luggage but nothing really meets the 22x9x14 requirements that Lufthansa has on their website. The tour guide said a couple times in her email "do not check your bags" . So now I'm kind of scratching my head a little bit right now, trying to figure this out. It's a connector flight to Croatia. Finally we're going back after our late winter tragedy this year. We had no problems last winter with our checked bags so I'm wondering why she was so adamant about it. Two people did have luggage not make it. So maybe the tour company just doesn't want to deal with the frustration?

Look into travel vests, you can fit a lot of stuff in them, just drop them into the X-ray, put it back on and you're home free.

The inside pockets on some of them can hold a full sized laptop. You can carry all of your electronics and valuables, and use any old bag or luggage for your clothes. Get some of those vacuum seal bags, stuff your clothes in, suck out the air and your clothes take up a lot less space.

All good ideas. Seems my father can't fit 3 weeks in a carry on either so we decided to die of the hill of lost luggage together.

Wear some LGBT apparel and they’ll leave you alone.

Call luggage repair shops and ask if they repair for Briggs and Riley luggage. If yes, ask them if they have a used one meeting your requirement. If yes, buy it and thank me later. My first one is still my primary travel suitcase for about 16 years and no thoughts of replacing it.

Also if you have time, and it sounds like you do not, buy a used Briggs and Riley suitcase from eBay.

Bon voyage
