I pick aisle seats, check my bags, and wait until the last possible second to get on the plane.
So nothing will change for me. But I still think this is a dumb idea.
- mdhen 3y agoYeah this what i do if i don't need to use the overhead bins. Either checking luggage or only bringing a backpack
- silisili 3y agoSame. I always wondered why people fight to sit first, sitting on a plane is torture. I'd get on right as the plane door is closing if I had my way. Apparently it's because people fight over the bins? I've never used one, seems like a hassle. Every flight I've ever taken has offered to gate check my stuff, for free.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoThe bins are really good if a) you're traveling for a short time such that you only need a carry on size bag, and b) you can sit towards the front so that you can immediately get off the plane with your bag. Otherwise, meh. You do get guaranteed your bag won't get lost, but that's a pretty rare occurrence in my experience.
- raisedbyninjas 3y agoI've had checked items stolen, bags lost and destroyed and only fly about once a year. Carry-ons only for me.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoThat's.. really unlucky. I fly once or twice a year, and the last time I had a bag lost was probably 10 years ago. I've never had stuff stolen or destroyed. I'm obviously not saying that it never happens, but to have the problems you've had is definitely far from the norm.
