This really only started after 9/11 when airlines started charging for your first checked bag. Before that most people brought smaller carry-ons and checked more. (Why lug all your stuff around if you don't have to?) But now lots of people are trying to fit everything into their carry-on to avoid fees, so they fill up much faster and have wall-to-wall roller bags.
- foobarchu 8y agoThere's also a mistrust of airlines themselves at play. Many people refuse to check their bags unless they absolutely have to, out of fear that their luggage will be lost. It's never happened to me personally, but I've heard enough stories from people who have experienced it to be fearful myself.
