Even if checked-in fees went away, I would still try to go cabin luggage only for short trips away (anything under a week) because it is significantly quicker than waiting for luggage to be unloaded etc.
And for what it’s worth, I use a backpack, so it’s often stored at my feet due to locker space pseudo reserved for hard cases.
- jjeaff 7y agoOn many budget carriers, a personal item that fits under the seat is actually all you get for free. You have to pay extra for a carry on bag.

- alistairSH 7y agoWhile that is certainly true for some travelers (myself included), some passengers would prefer to check their luggage and not wheel/carry it around, struggle to lift it into the overhead bin, etc. When I travel for work, I'm always surprised at the number of coworkers who happily check their baggage.
