[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather spend an extra 15 minutes on the plane waiting for people to get their carryon down from the bins than spend a hour at baggage claims waiting for a luggage that may end up being lost.

Airplane time is different than real time. When you get down to it, people are getting off planes pretty quickly and it's only adding an extra 10 minutes to deplane with lots of carryon. The real time suck are shuttles to the gates and waiting for luggage at baggage claims. [/quote]

We regularly check our luggage and it's usually waiting for us by the time we deplane and use the bathroom. [/quote]

Cool. My experience is fairly different. [/quote]

+1. They've lost my luggage a few times over the years and I'm pretty consistently waiting at the baggage claim before the bags start coming out.

I guess an upside of my family's bad experiences with checking bags is that we are all now pretty good at packing lightly so we can make do with a bag that fits in the overhead plus a backpack - even if we're going to Europe for 7-10 days. [/quote]

Delayed or lost? I've never heard of someone's luggage being actually lost, like never found.[/quote]

I'll split the difference on the terminology: temporarily lost! It was delayed but long enough that the luggage was of no use to me during the trip. [/quote]
