Never had checked luggage for a week work trip--at least post wearing suits and so forth. And carry-on can often be an issue when arriving in US at least for liquids and potentially having to reclear security.

Are you US based, perchance? I'm based in Ireland and remember the first time I got in a plane on the states and saw the absurdly large carry-ons that people had. I guess I'd just do that if I were in the US but as I cut my teeth with Ryanair I tend to optimise for smaller cabin baggage and a checked bag for work trips.

This is totally fine as the duty free people put the spirits in a specific bag which they let through security.

		I don’t use wheeled hard carryons. I’ve just learned to live with a 40L soft side travel backpack. Can travel with that for multiple weeks if it’s just fairly casual urban travel. But I basically never do the budget airlines.
