When I tried the Strong Bag it always required being turned sideways in every domestic plane except 767's being used on those routes. Again, loved the bag. Big fan of it in every other respect. But that was a deal killer.

Maybe by now the bin refreshes have fixed that issue. But I wouldn't get it again unless I could verify that it fit in every mainline overhead wheels first without a single exception. Until that's verified I'll never use it again.

Just curious which SB bag you are using. I have the vortex and haven’t had this issue. I haven’t tried or no of anyone with the helix.
