People like you are the reason the boarding and de-planing process are a nightmare. You’re time isn’t important enough that you can’t wait 10 minutes for you luggage at the carousel

Nightmare.
With things like this, canceled flights, and real ID, I’m pretty much over flying. Will make my vacations drivable.

More important than your time.
I paid for it, gonna use it. Just like reclining my seat.

Not to me.
Again, checked luggage should be free and carry-ons should have a fee. The de-planing process is longer than waiting for bags at the carousel.
But recline your seat all you want. That’s what it’s there for.

My ticket would be cheaper if everyone was only allowed a carry on.
Im subsidizing your use of equipment I dont need. Socialized baggage BS.

An extra 10 minutes to unload a plane is a nightmare??

I would say drive but that might be a bad idea too.

St Louis was Trans World (would have been a poor name choice in 2025) Airlines largest hub until they were acquired by American Airlines in the early 2000s. Before that St Louis build a huge new runway to expand their capacity, spent billions, tore down neighborhoods and churches. Then 9/11 happened and AA came in and shut the hub down almost immediately and the runway gets zero use because the taxi time is so long. One of the great infrastructure frick ups of all time.

Lambert absolutely sucks as an airport. But this is the fault of some shitty convention that sent thousands of people to the airport at the same time regardless of departure time.
Normally people flow into an airport depending on what time they leave. These assholes made sure the entire day's scheduled departures all showed up at the same time.

100,000+ expected at that convention.

Why are there even that many people departing STL in the first place? The only other time I've seen anything close is when four major cruise ships disembarked on the same day in FLL

Clear and TSA pre check here. Best thing ever.
Also high status with United. Either way, It’s amazing what some people put themselves through. If I rolled up and saw that line, I go back home or back to the hotel and rebook. Simple.
Seriously, It takes a special level of idiot to wait in that line, then sleep in the airport anyways trying to ‘talk to an agent’.

Makes me that much more thankful for Hartsfield-Jackson here in Atlanta.
It runs like a well-oiled machine.
