I like fast trains. They feel roomier to me and there isn't a lot of drama when I take one. Unfortunately, that means I haven't taken a flight in something like 18 years and I'm kinda rusty on the quirks.
Right now, many people are on some form of lockdown, but when that lets up there may be other folks that have an urge to travel. So, for those of you who are up on things, what are your tips?
In my case, I expect to be moving to another country and what I can haul along may end up being all that makes the move. That means I'm particularly interested in advice on how to pack more. I get the impression that I can probably travel with 1 carry-on, an unclear limit of "personal items", one checked bag, and hopefully the chance to pay an additional fee for another checked bag. Is this about right? I just purchased two large, hard-sided bags and a hard-sided carry-on, all with wheels and TSA compliant locks. The sizes should be "standard" but I know there are some differences between airlines.
That should cover the basics, but what are the finer points? For example, what counts (and what doesn't) as personal? Should I get luggage straps, or will that just be a useless hassle for luggage inspections? Stuff like that.
