The one thing that really frustrates me when flying is how people don't know how to use overhead bins. You would think it would be easy right and is the reason why we have size limits? WHEELS FIRST means you get the maximum number of cases up there. Placing your case in sideways just takes up more room than it needs to and means somebody else is going to end up getting gate checked. It's one of those things cabin crew really look out for as it tells them who is really an experienced (and considerate traveler) and who is just pretending to know it all
Sideways was for the shot as we got on first, it didn't stay that way when more suitcases / bags came on - the stewards saw to that lol I've been using this quite consistently and currently in Asia, no issues going in wheels first or sideways.
Thanks Nik - I think an earlier version of this carry-on had a powerbank, but they removed it with subsequent iterations as far as I understand. I have the Bigger Carry-On by Away Travel with USB powerbank, but to be honest i never use it as it's micro-USB. I have a USB-C powerbank I use and just store in the front tech pouch of the Carl Friedrik and find it very versitile.
Hi B Blow, I don't have the exact measurements to hand right now, but can look into it. I can say it's taller than the Away Medium's handle by 5-6 inches. I am 6"1 and actually don't use it fully extended. The first height adjustment matches Away's, so as I am using both suitcases right now I match the height and it's been great, but it can be extended further if needed.
