I realize that in general, airlines employ larger aircraft for flying between Maui and CONUS, so this REMINDER may be moot. But lately, I have observed on my flights taken on major U.S. carriers between major hubs, that the airlines have routinely been obliging passengers, at the last minute, to check their "roller" cases below whilst carryons without rollers remain with the passenger in the cabin.
This has happened to me recently. I pulled out the backpack straps and carried it on the plane. I've gotten in the habit of doing that now just so I won't be asked to check it again.
