Disagree w/ OP, agree with A1. Especially for women, purses are terrible to travel with.

No kidding, A2!
As an over-25 who uses a backpack, I’d like to say that everyone (regardless of age, OP) needs to learn spatial awareness, especially when traveling. I’ve been literally hit in the face by the backpacks of more under 30 men (just accurate) than I care to recount. Only a few have apologized. At this point, I’m initially kind about it if I get whacked by someone else’s luggage. Hit me twice at your own risk, however.

Backpacks are ok so long as people are aware of how it affects their overall physical footprint and dimensions. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been hit in the head as people move down the aisle of the plane - especially if they turn to talk to the person behind them

If you haven’t traveled with an eBag with all 10,000 pockets, you haven’t lived. You must be 30+ and not willing splurge on a Tumi.

Backpacks saved my back and shoulders. It’s people who carry purses or a bag over one shoulder and whack every person sitting on the aisle as they walk by that are more often a problem for me. Just be aware of how much space you and your stuff needs. Take your pack off if your in an elevator or train or somewhere else that you’re likely to whack someone

eBag backpack here too. Works fantastic and I use it every day, flying or not. Just need to be mindful to take it off while you're standing parallel to the isle. Don't swing and face the bins unless the other seat is empty. Pretty easy to remember, but can see how someone unaware would smack someone else in the face. Thankfully I'm yet to do that

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
