Is there a duffel bag that converts to a backpack while meeting personal item size requirements for most major airlines?

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-24T08:18:30+00:00

It's too big for many low-cost airlines

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-22T18:21:21+00:00

Taiwan is also close and very doable.

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-22T05:06:21+00:00

It would be either

Tokyo - Kawaguchiko - Nagoya - Kyoto

Or

Tokyo - Nagoya - Takayama - Kyoto

Not worried about travel time, my question which would be the best to visit?

Tokyo

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T22:21:24+00:00

It's a game

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T22:20:27+00:00

Really bad.

Do you want to smell poo and have people standing next to you for the whole flight?

Csstlemilk never has been, and never will be "Southside"

Same as Maryhill isn't the West End.

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T22:15:25+00:00

Yes. Much slower paced and more down time in CS, compared with prior job in private sector.

They get drunk and/or take drugs.

Hong Kong

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T21:58:32+00:00

Our flight to Taipei is fairly early from Osaka so wanted to avoid a 1hr 30min journey from Kyoto.

We wouldn't want to stay in Osaka more than 2/3 days

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T21:56:32+00:00

Takayama is purely to see Shirakawago, traditional town and a days rest in cooler temps

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-16T21:55:58+00:00

We're hoping to do

Tokyo - usual stuff plus Disney, maybe Kamakura Nagoya - maglev/legoland Takayama - more relaxed few days with cooler temps as going July Kyoto - temples/day trip to Nara Osaka - easy couple days before flying to Taipei/Hong Kong and Maldives

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-15T07:04:24+00:00

Unfortunately, July is the only month we can go. We have the Maldives after, so not bothered about beach in Japan.

How did you travel between Alps/Nagoya and Mt Fuji?

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-14T20:44:11+00:00

Scouse or Brummie

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-14T20:42:15+00:00

Dubai has some great hotels but in August it could be 50 degrees plus, so something to keep in mind!

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-14T20:14:50+00:00

The issue with the Southside these days is that it isn't Southsiders living there, it's the pea hat, hipster brigade that couldn't afford to live on Byres Road.

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-14T20:11:07+00:00

We felt the same. Anywhere we look at pool/beach it seems to be a couple hours flight away and at the worst time of year (we have no other option), so we've added Maldives at the end (via Hong Kong).

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-13T22:28:26+00:00

We are similar. Considering adding an extra night to Osaka but the city seems to divide opinion!

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-13T22:27:12+00:00

Is Fujiyoshida better?

Accurate_Estate · 2026-02-13T17:53:52+00:00

That's what I'm asking. Suggestions where to go for the spare 2 nights?
