So American Airlines is totally on my shit list. Checking in with a regular Tumi Alpha 2 and they told me that it somehow is too big! Mind you, it's been traveling 3-5 times a week with me...

They tried that with me one day. The lady felt bad because I had an obviously painful hangover, so she nudged me through. Thank you alcohol gods. Never had issues since though.

I got a hand me down Tumi recently. It's 16 inches wide which is wider than most airlines allow. So far in my travels I've never had to measure at the gate domestically. Hope they don't start!

Thanks @A1! Will make sure to have a few shots before heading to the airport ;)

OP at least it looks like it's the exception rather than the norm. Hope I didn't jinx myself!

And not to mention that it fits the measurement box (handles included) except for about a third to a half of an inch on the side...

That was exactly my problem D2... It was 16 instead of 14 (just measured, so I guess more than the half inch I thought). Stopped by the Tumi store where they confirmed that they've been getting daily visits of frustrated AA passengers who had to check them.

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
