It’s refreshing to know the Little Red renounced her life of crime as a hood and became a respectable flight attendant.

The last time I flew 2016 they were still not letting you get on a plane with something that size. The regional airlines are worse – the bag limits are so small that a regular-sized carry-on rollerbag is too large, forcing you to stuff all your electronics in your backpack. They do walk through the waiting area early – individually warning you about the ones that will be taken from you when boarding – so the switch can be done. Flights are not long and that bag is available as you leave the plane, the only consolation.
