Even though foreign travel has become mainly by plane, there has still been no radical change in the travel bag since the 19th century. It is probably due to the perfection of the travel bag made by Louis Vuitton in 1854. One change in the travel bag was the introduction of wheels by Bernard D. Sadow in the USA in 1972 when he introduced the ‘Rolling Luggage (trolley bag).’ However, while the wheels increased convenience, they did not reduce the size or weight of the luggage. This convenience does not change the carbon emission of carrying a travel bag on board an aircraft. A travel bag may even have become larger and heavier, going against the trend towards smaller sizes and lighter weights, because they are now easier to transport on roads with wheels
