Black Travelers: Explore Culture, Adventure & Connection The modern packing flex reaches its theatrical peak at the gate, where one traveler is wearing a coat, blazer, and two sweaters while attempting to compress a swollen suitcase into the baggage sizer. Carry-on-only travel began as an efficient way to avoid baggage claim and airline fees, then somehow acquired the moral weight of a personal philosophy.
