Airlines are a disaster.
Having luggage lost is such a PITA, especially on short trips. Carry on only. I buy the smallest carry ons I can find so the carry on police at the check in counter don’t make me ever gate check.
- jltsiren 2y agoI don't find lost luggage that annoying. It has happened to me twice out of ~300 flights, and I received the bag the following day both times. Missed connections and rerouted flights due to weather, strikes, and other random issues are more common and have a bigger impact on the trip.
- ghaff 2y agoI've had luggage delayed far more often than that and I've also been able to rebook because of weather only because I had carryon. Usually luggage delayed for a day isn't a big deal--if you're staying in a city (and I often leave a little slack for that reason). But if you're heading off somewhere that you can't receive a luggage delivery, that can be a big deal. Sometimes unavoidable to be sure--you're not carrying on all your camping gear--but I'll make compromises to just have carryon.
