Lifting suitcase from mexico to home.

There are lifting requirements so what does everyone use to travel home. A suitcase alone typically weighs 5 lbs. I am traveling alone.

Having my surgery Friday. So excited

    Make sure it's on wheels and DO NOT hesitate to ask people for help lifting it as needed!

    My doc says nothing heavier than a gallon of milk for first two weeks.

    When my husband went to Mexico I called the airline and requested a wheelchair and made then aware he would need help lifting his carry on. He flew alone and with Delta and they were very accommodating. He just had to walk from drop off to the check in desk to request his wheelchair, which at LAX he was happy to have!

    Safe flight!

    I checked my bag after I removed important items like my tablet. I had a smaller bag that my purse and tablet would easily fit in.

    Take very little. You won't need it.

    Best of luck with your operation :)
