Glad there’s someone else who hates carrying on. It doesn’t cost me anything to check it (thank you, platinum status) so 90% of the time that’s what I do. With rare exceptions I don’t think I ever wait more than 10-15 min for my bag at baggage claim and to me it’s worth it not to have to participate in that deplaning scrum
I get that carryons are a hassle, but isn’t the point of a carryon “to be carried on?” They’ve always saved my life when bags get delayed or lost. If I check a bag, I always always carry a go bag with all the necessities to have on me. Does this not worry you guys (OP and EY1)? Genuinely asking
I do usually have a second bag (purse, bookbag) with absolute necessities and laptop. Otherwise, I feel like the chances of a lost bag are pretty low esp for non connecting flights
And for work, I'm not important enough that a delayed bag would ruin me haha, like i could just get away with buying a some random emergency business clothes if I really needed
Definitely not.
😭 just trying to give myself some false hope lol
I hate how anxious the whole atmosphere is haha, if we all just peacefully and patiently boarded it'd be so easy
Haha fair points I guess. Maybe it’s just me but not having a change of clothes on me freaks me out. I had a United hostess spill OJ all over me a few months ago and they had forced checked my bag due to no overhead space. Whats worse is that i was a scared little analyst, a month into the job, with a big client meeting when i landed in an airport with no clothing stores. Imagine a 21YO freaking out in the gallery frantically trying to dab the juice out of his suit and the hostess repeatedly apologizing lol. Since then I always do a go bag if I check.
