Yes to all of this!! 🙂 And it’s super helpful to be able to board first if you’re in a wheelchair or tell the gate agents you have a medical condition. I literally lie on the ground until boarding haha. Also- I just recently learned that if you freeze meals- you can bring them as a carry on!

I've heard mixed information on whether or not they'll let you bring frozen stuff on. Some folks have reported that they've been able to freeze water to take through, but I know another person who was required to scrape the FROSTING off a cupcake because it was a 'gel', and another person had an issue with a frozen sandwich that had begun to thaw a bit. I suspect it's the luck of the draw with the TSA agent. IMO, it's probably worth it to try IF you don't mind losing the investment.

How comfortable is your Liberty Bike seat?

The factory install: extremely not! But it's just a bike seat post so I replaced it with a cushy bike seat plus a gel cover and it's pretty swank now. My understanding is that the new models have more comfy seats!

Sidenote: I didn't feel I really needed or used the backrest.
