No need to squeeze your sunscreen into multiple 3 oz bottles you bought from Target, or wash your underwear in the sink every night, or stress out about your boarding group.

Some airports the checked luggage gets to baggage claim before I do. [/quote]

Have you ever been on a week-long Caribbean cruise where your checked bag never reaches you until you reach the airport to fly home?  I have.

No. Fly nonstop and confirm the destination on your bad tag. [/quote]

Not every flight can be non-stop.[/quote]

Learn how to travel like a grownup and stop weeping every time things don’t go your way. Jeez.[/quote]

I actually wasn't a grownup then.  And no weeping was done.  But I was on a ship in the tropics for a week with a lot of other impacted people.  I didn't have a swimsuit and I'd flown wearing pants because airplanes can be cold.  And my whole family was impacted.  This was a very unpleasant way to experience an entire cruise.  I went snorkeling in Aruba half in street clothes.  As somebody else points out below, once your luggage gets lost it can take weeks to get back to you.  If there was more reliability in airline behavior, people would be less concerned.[/quote]

Wow. Never been on a cruise, and didn’t realize that there’s no way to buy a swimsuit once you’re on a cruise! Seems insane.[/quote]

For the record, the ship's store had 4 sets of an identical Day-Glo bikini in sizes 0-6 and some men's trunks when we went to shop.  However, there were dozens of people on the cruise who were missing luggage.  The ports were not particularly conducive to clothing shopping unless you wanted to miss the planned excursions.  The luggage was mishandled between Miami and Jamaica.  Likely in Miami.  Our luggage toured the Caribbean but never caught up with us again until Miami.  [b]It was certified drug-free in several different countries.[/quote][/b]

That’s funny 😂
