My travel backpack strap snapped right at the airport in Bangkok
It happened right after I checked in for my flight home. I had to buy a cheap roll-aboard for $35 and check it, which blew my budget for souvenirs. Has anyone else had a bag fail mid-trip and found a good fix?

Ngl, that's the worst timing. A roll-aboard was smart for the flight, but for a real fix later, a shoe repair shop can work miracles. They've stitched my backpack straps back on for like ten bucks. Even in a foreign city, they usually have heavy-duty machines for that exact job. It's saved me from buying a whole new bag more than once.

Shoe repair shops are underrated for bag fixes. Saved me more than once too.

Totally agree, saved my favorite duffel that way!

Yeah, that "heavy-duty machines" point is so true, they can fix almost anything.
