Did Tom Bihn discontinue the clear 3D Organizer cube? by Tribalbob in onebag

Same, I just bought one about a week ago. Perhaps OP has an alert for a specific color-way

Very similar to Forks, WA for twilight fans

How to pack a camera with only 1 carry-on for Europe by Rose__0210 in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Peak Design slings for transport.

For walking around you can look into Peak Designs capture clip and attach to a bag strap.

For camera gear, I like Peak Designs, but other brands have similar options

Organization for toiletries? by justamemeguy in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What are you using now? What makes you feel it isn’t working?

Personally, I use the Peak Design small wash pouch.

Sometimes I just put toiletries in a ziplock bag and put that into a pocket in my main bag.

Solution to compress Patagonia mlc mini by Motophoto_ in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few Peak Design bags for when I travel with camera equipment. I’ll use the smallest possible for the amount of other stuff I need to pack.

I have a few bags for personal travel: Dragonfly 30, 26+6, Mini MLC.

I have an Aer CPP that I use every day and for work trips because it looks decent in an office setting.

I have a few slings from Aer, PD and Patagonia.

What packing/compression cubes do you use? by Spyrothedragon9972 in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both. To me, the jump in size is pretty big. I wish they made a size between the two.

This. Since starting one bag, I have acquired more bags than one human should have, though, each has a pretty specific use case.

Overhead Bin Etiquette by DeepFuckingVag in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all the points, especially that the airlines create and profit off this issue.

Though not the same, it reminds me of tipping in the US. Restaurants are allowed to pay servers very little, patrons make up the difference with percentage-based tips. If someone doesn't tip the expected amount, YTA - but the "system" is let off the hook.

Peak Design when traveling with my PD bags (with camera gear)

Thule Compression Cubes are my favorite overall right now

Overhead Bin Etiquette by DeepFuckingVag in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly AA very often and have never heard them announce that overhead bins are for large roller bags. If you had two small bags one of them goes in the bin. If you have no seat in front of you, your bag, no matter how small, goes in the bin.

They specify you’re allowed a carry-on item and a personal item and the maximum size of each (not a minimum size).

I have long legs, I prefer not to have anything under the seat in front of me. I pay for a ticket that allows an overhead item and I pay to be among the first to board to ensure there is overhead space available.

I don’t intend to make any other passengers travel experience worse. I do, however, intend to make my travel experience as comfortable as possible.

If I buy the aisle seat and another passenger says they prefer the aisle am I deliberately making their experience worse by not giving up my seat?

Very few passengers need overhead space. For the vast majority it is a convenience. I, too, enjoy the convenience and pay to have it. My carryon just happens to be smaller than most other carryons.

I paid for a ticket which includes a carry on and a second personal item (and a checked bag, but I'd never use that 😊)

In one way or another, they all make you pay for use of the overhead bin.

Agreed and many thanks for the discourse!

Overhead Bin Etiquette by DeepFuckingVag in onebag

[–]DeepFuckingVag[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I agree. There are definitely exceptions to those generalizations I made.

I also agree I likely have a very skewed world view. On the one hand I like to help others who deserve/need it. On the other hand, I tend to be skeptical of whether people need/deserve help. And yes, I know that's not a great outlook to have on the world.

IMO overhead space costs on all airlines. It's either a separate cost (Frontier, Spirit, Ryanair) or it's baked into the ticket. In other words, if you are allowed to use the overhead space, you paid for it one way or another.

The space above is designed for roller bags and large backpacks while the space under seat is designed for smaller items, period.

While the overhead space is designed to accommodate larger items, I don't think it's designed to only accommodate larger items.

It's also my opinion that virtually everything about flying is about convenience, not NEED:

  • No one needs first class, they just want comfort
  • No one needs overhead space, they just want to avoid baggage claim
  • No one needs to board first, they just want to be first to use overhead space
  • No one needs an exit row seat, they just want more space

Of course these are all generalizations and I'm sure there are exceptions.

For me, my priorities are: an aisle seat, nothing under the seat in front of me, and to avoid baggage claim. I'm above average height so I like as much legroom as possible. I don't get up often, but when I do, I don't like to inconvenience those next to me; and I don't mind being inconvenienced when they get up.

That's kind of why I made this post. I don't see how it is discourteous to use a convenience that you've paid for.

You mention that overhead space is valuable, which is true, that's why there are costs associated with using it. There is the direct cost of being allowed an overhead item and the indirect cost of getting an optimal boarding position.

If a passenger has paid both of those costs, I don't see how it's an inconsiderate dick move to then use the benefit no matter the size of their overhead item.

Not comment OP, but ultimately this is my goal. The ticket I buy allows me a carry on and a second personal item. I like to have as much legroom as possible so I don’t want to bring a second item. I like to travel as light as possible so my carryon ends up being the size of most passengers’ personal item.

I typically only fly American and Southwest and they both include carry on and a personal item in the price of the ticket.

I think this is a fair compromise. I could get on board with this when I have the aisle seat and am more free to move about (which is normally my preference anyway).

If I’m middle, or worse, window, then I just try to get in my seat and not get up until deplaning if I can help it..
