[quote=Anonymous]Minimalist packing using a carryon comes in handy when flights are canceled or delayed or planes are switched, after you’re already sitting at the gate. No having to wonder where your luggage is.

The main reason I don’t check luggage anymore (aside from several incidents of lost luggage) is the way luggage is treated by airline staff. When I watch the luggage carts driving around the planes, there are always a few pieces of luggage that fall off, especially as they weave around and do turns in the cart.

The loaders just throw the luggage on the moving belt that loads the plane, very roughly. Luggage often falls off that belt, and crashes several feet down onto the tarmac. My checked luggage was always damaged by the airlines.

Let’s not even talk about items stolen out of checked baggage, or bags that have been opened and rummaged through. Too many stories of that.

So I’ve stuck to carryons for many years now and don’t have to worry about lost or beat-up broken luggage anymore. Or the airport thieves.[/quote]
