As someone who flew weekly for years, I'd immediately refuse to use any airline that required checking bags. Airlines have completely lost my luggage before, ripped it open and taped it back together, and sometimes only delivered the luggage days after I landed.
There's no way they could be trusted with checked luggage beyond things you don't mind losing or arriving late, like extra clothes or something. If you need to bring product samples or equipment there's really no option but to bring it yourself or ship it ahead of time.
- kaybe 11y agoWhat I've seen a bit recently is that people with standard wheeled carry-ons were asked to put them right next to the plane when boarding and the crew put them in a separate compartment. When leaving the plane, you would pick it up at the exit. It's a compromise between checking it and having it close to your seat at all times, and seemed to work quite well.
