There is no way I would ever stow a macbook pro in my luggage, only to see someone from baggage handling throw it around and be damaged or arrive at the destination and find it missing.
With everything else that is happening in the industry. I'm now starting to seriously consider JetSmarter.
I'm genuinely interested to know of experiences traveling from outside the US to the US using them. Were you subject to the same security screenings, would this ban be subject to JetSmarter as well and finally, are you able to board your own luggage?
Thanks.
- hattar 10y agoI'd never heard of JetSmarter so I went to their site to learn more. The website is a scroll hijacking mess that's really unpleasant to use. I didn't make it past the landing page.

- julian_t 10y agoLeaving aside the (hopefully) unlikely case of the authorities deciding to install malware on my laptop, I've had experience of the roughness with which checked baggage is treated and getting things stolen from said baggage. That makes me very wary of checking delicate electronics, unless the airports and airlines substantially improve their baggage handling. If this goes ahead, I can see myself travelling without a laptop for short trips, and sending it ahead via DHL for longer ones, taking a disk image on a USB stick for backup.
