[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never travel carryon to Europe. We mostly fly places with direct flights though. Even in the US we usually check a few bags. I think the love of carryons is very overrated. [/quote]

Op here.

I totally agree but I’m worried about losing checked luggage. We are flying nonstop Montreal to Rome outbound, but I’m still worried. [/quote]

I don't know about Air Canada, but in my experience with flying US domestic carriers overseas (even when they code share with Air France, etc) they will let you on with a US sized carry on on the way to Europe.  On the way back, you're likely to get flagged even before you go through security and forced to check your bag.  That actually works fine, [b]because I'm not as worried about my bags getting delayed on the way home.[/b] [/quote]

I worry when I don't have a direct flight home. The chances of your bags going a different way increases significantly. The advantage when bags go astray is you are home and have things to wear, disadvantage is you hope your bags are found. [/quote]
