[quote=Anonymous]Holy snark-fest, batman!

I also fly internationally with my (now) 2 year old, and I also manage to get by with a big backpack. And I definitely agree I travel lighter (because I check more) when traveling with my family than when I travel by myself on business where I seldom check a bag.

That being said, the remarks about if you want to carry stuff on, pay for first class, are asinine. Not everyone can afford to do that and most people don't fit into the category of the woman who's deliberately slowing down the plane departure or the smugness of the overpacked international traveler. They're doing the best they can and if they could upgrade, they probably would.

Also, I think parents are perceived as carrying more stuff because you're not only carrying your own normal carry on, but often your kid's bag, too, plus you may very well be carrying the kid. So, parents often look like they have their arms very, very full (which they do!) although ultimately, they're probably hauling smaller bags than many kidless passengers.  [/quote]
