[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until we get rid of the crazy carryon wheeled suitcase epidemic, we will never be able to board the plane back to front. That was a relic from back when many more people checked bags and overhead space was not at a premium. [/quote]

People have learned that they can pack light and not risk airlines losing luggage and not have to wait for an hour by the carousel. Charging for bags created it, but now that people see how convenient it is, you'd have to actually incentives checked bags rather than just make it free again [/quote]

+1, it should be the other way around; first checked bag of normal weight is free, and every carryon is charged a fee at check in, and you must produce a receipt at the gate to carry it on.[/quote]

+1000

Incentive system is exactly backwards.[/quote]

Guess you like batteries in your checked luggage.[/quote]

WTF?

I bring a briefcase onboard when traveling for biz. A backpack with electronics if traveling for outdoor activities. Otherwise everything gets checked.

Happy to pay for both if it means 20 mins shorter boarding time on each end.[/quote]

Sorry you aren't able to understand other people's behavior.[/quote]

Right back at ya.

I’d rather pay than wait.

You’d rather wait than pay.

I hope airlines conform to my preferences.

You hope airlines conform to your preferences.

The only difference between us?

My preferences are superior.  :D
