I find a single large and heavy bag far more difficult to manoeuvre than 2 or even 3 much smaller bags. On long trips that are leisure I'll take a large roller, perhaps 25K, a small roller, maybe 10-15k and a laptop type bag.
When QF changed their policy the small roller stopped going into checkin and started finding space in the overhead bins. I still make it to my destination with everything I need ... but its hard for me to comprehend how moving luggage into the cabin is an improvement ... still presumably there is more luggage hold space now and that, also presumably, means more freight forwarding possibilities for QF. A bit of extra finagling about inside the cabin by the FA's and Pax to organise the ever decreasing overhead space is no big deal I suppose.
1/ Is your new carry on bag within the carry on limits??
2/ Under VA's new rules you can still take two bags
3/ Under QF's old rules 35-40kg total would have been over the limit unless status allowed you.
4/ Under QF's new rules you would be over as well unless status allowed you.
Not sure which rule change affected you..??
But i take your point about not wanting to carry 1 heavy bag.
That said - anything over 23kg feels heavy to the anti-heavy brigade. And I would agree that 32kg is more work to carry (lucky I've got the guns )
