> One-bagging is also a poor choice for business travel, since you likely want a smaller computer bag so you don't have to use your much larger "one bag" as your office bag.

I just keep a very small shoulder bag inside my one-bag that fits my Macbook and acts as a walk-around. In travel mode, it's used to compartmentalize. Likewise, my wife has a small ~15L daypack inside her one-bag that is empty and rolled-up in travel mode.

No wheels is also great for sprinting to be the first to the border patrol line :D



There are expandable backpacks that are business looking when compressed.


I probably want a small bag with things I want in the airport/on the plane anyway. The bag that I normally use--which I've had for decades and use for almost everything--takes very little space by itself. So it makes sense for me to use it for compartmentalization even if I stick it in my carryon.

I went through a Timbuk2 phase but this old Mountainsmith bag (nee a big fanny pack, now with added strap) works better for me these days.


Yes makes sense. I used this https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32975256528.html which is very cheap and 22lt for daily use expandable to 37lt profesdional looming enough.
