Might be useful if you live in a very small place! For travel, Not so much. :lol: :coolsmile:

I believe in traveling light as possible. I'll crash on a couch when I get to the hotel.

The bits that stick out on the two larger pieces will be ripped off the luggage by the baggage gorillas in nothing flat. Plus, who uses a backpack, and then puts so little stuff in it that it's still a viable pillow?

OK, whatever happened to sitting on the chairs and benches all over the average airport? I spent about 6 hours sleeping on the seating at Frankfurt International in Germany on one trip waiting for a connection and had no trouble with people bothering me. Spent an hour in Iceland's international airport sitting in a seat near the gate. Same with pretty much every airport except for the time I slept sprawled out in a corner waiting for a MAC flight and used my barracks bag as a pillow.

Hipster garbage idea. Look how different and funky I am.

A nice lady with comfy "pillows" is all I need for a good nights sleep. 😜

Looks ridiculous and uncomfortable as well. @BD, if you had someone like that in bed with you I doubt you'd be sleeping honey! 😉

I think this was invented by the dad in "Gremlins".

If it is only a two week trip, you don't need luggage!!! Just wear dark brown underwear and carry some under arm deoderant.

travel bags are quite big, seems not too handy to carry... not good for backpackers.
