Checking your bags is a way better travel experience than carry on luggage.
Somehow over the years of flying it seems like 90% of travelers exclusively carry on. They carry these huge rollers and a “personal item” which is usually a massive backpack.
Lugging your carry on luggage around airports, running to gates knocking everyone on the seats. Makes the whole experience worse for everyone.
Miss me with the lost luggage argument. Especially your return flight. Most people’s stuff is really not that important. Also lost luggage is very rare.
It slows the boarding and off boarding as everyone struggles with heavy overhead bags. If you can’t lift your bags, you need to check them. I’m not interested in helping lift your luggage, that you should have checked. It makes the security lines longer as all the carryons need to be checked also.
Once I stopped bothering with carryons my flight experiences are much easier for me.
Finally screw these airlines which charge for baggage, unless you try and carry on then they ask for people to check for free?!? Makes no sense.
And finally finally. You rich 1st class flyers who carry on. You are the worst. 1st class passengers get 2 FREE BAGS UP TO 70LBS, and their baggage gets first class treatment. (A little travel hack, if you have connections, upgrade your first leg and get free bags for your trip.)
Check your bags people. If you want to save money, gate check them for free.
