Gate check in this context means you pick it up at the baggage carousel (and risk them losing it). If it's just the cart that comes out when you deplane (a) your bag really won't fit on board and (b) no it's not a big deal.
- silisili 1y agoAh, that makes sense, it doesn't actually mention gate checking in the article. It sounds like they just asked her to check it as regular luggage prior, then. On every flight I've taken, gate checking implies the latter, that it will be on the cart or floor of the jetbridge when deplaning.
- subarctic 1y agoOn every flight I've been on, gate checking your carryon means you have to pick it up at the luggage carousel. What part of the world are you in?
- silisili 1y agoThe US. It's possible it's changed recently, as I've not flown in probably 5 or so years. But I've never had that happen to me, and obviously wouldn't ever volunteer each time if that were the case.
- adastra22 1y agoI know what you mean, but I haven't seen that happen in years, and I fly both big and small / regional jets. It is almost always "we'll check it through all the way to your destination."
- testplzignore 1y agoMy experience is that if it is a small regional jet like an ERJ, it will be delivered at the jet bridge. If it's a 737, it's going to baggage claim.
