We have been operating right into a problem whereas doing a little journey previously couple of years. DW has some mobility points that make it tough for her to maneuver a suitcase via airports or prepare stations on her personal. Whereas I can deal with two baggage for us, I choose to have an arm free to have the ability to give DW a steadying hand if wanted. A variety of our journeys find yourself being 4 weeks or extra, with environments that do not at all times match with minimalist packing.The present mode is one massive bag that is near airline max sizing. We are able to usually match within the area, however the weight of the bag plus contents tends to run over 50 kilos. Enterprise class flights usually permit baggage as much as 70 kilos, but when we fly financial system, we have to preserve every particular person bag beneath 50 kilos.
Ideally what we might use is a few kind of two-in-one baggage that may zip or fasten collectively for regular dealing with, however will be break up into two items to be checked in with airways. The 2 components do not need to be equal dimension, however the complete quantity of packing area must be as massive as one max-size suitcase.
Does anybody have options for this? Most instances after I’ve seen individuals wheeling two baggage strapped collectively they’ve appeared considerably awkward and vulnerable to getting out of place. Thanks for any concepts.
to op:
Think about an totally different strategy to issues: (redefine the way you and DW journey and what you are able to do).

It folds up and goes right into a bag the scale of a verify in bag. However, DW can take it proper to the gate, airline door. Like a child stroller, and many others.
Once you journey on land in a automobile, and many others, it folds up, once more, the scale of a deluxe child stroller, about 40 kilos or so.
