[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I flew a ton and don’t remember that. Roller suitcases were also not a thing. Travelpro had some of the first ones, but it wasn’t quite that long ago. Garment bags were very common [/quote]

Late 80s/early 90s very much were, at least if you had money. Back then, flight was more expensive.

A SUMMATION OF WHEELED SUITCASE HISTORY:
- In 1970, Bernard D. Sadow innovated a traditional suitcase on wheels attached to a long strap. 
- In 1972, Sadow patented his invention as the Rolling Luggage.
- In 1987, Robert Plath updated Sadow’s design by placing the suitcase vertically, attaching two wheels  and building a retractable handle.
- In 1989, demand for Plath's trademarked Rollaboard® became so high he moved operations from his garage to a warehouse.
- In 1991, Plath retired from the airline to pursue Travelpro, the parent company of his Rollaboard® product, full-time.[/quote][/quote]

Remember when people had little foldable rolling carts for their suitcases?[/quote]
