For those of you that fly fractional gigs on either an 8/6 or 15/13 rotation, do many of you carry on your suitcase or check a larger rollerboard?

Which one works well? 22"? 24"? 26"?

Rollerboards are those things hooligans use for their shenanigans and tomfoolery.

On a 7&7, but could do an 8/6 with my 22" roll aboard and smaller flight bag. I bought the luggageworks 22" stealth premier and multipurpose cube and they work for me. I'm able to carry on everything unless I get booked for a bulkhead seat. If I have to commute on something like an old ERJ 175, I just use plane-side checking and pick up my bag at the destination before going to my connecting flight.

Either my big Briggs, or my even bigger Rimowa. Checked of course.

I did 7 day trips with a 26" Luggage Works bag. I almost never checked it and never got any pushback. I did always travel in uniform thou. I would check the bag when going to recurrent or somewhere else where I knew I wouldn't be re-routed.
I tend to overpack with backups and even in the dead of winter I could cram everything into that 26" bag.

Had me one of those about 7 years ago. Got it through KCM, just to have the power trip gate agent yell at me "that's too big, how did you get that through security?"
Her scowl continued as she had to interrupt her precious boarding process to write up a gate-check tag.

Six months later, that POS fell apart. Again.
Second time in 12 months for another LW over promise/under deliver.

Never go cheap on luggage.

At a regional several years ago I walked up to 3 pilots of various age, experience fighting over this same thing. I don't give a damn it's luggage, don't play the FA game.

Roll aboard is a registered trademark of the Rollerboard Corporation.
