re: Those who bring a carryon to stuff in the overhead should pay more, not less

I pay 50 to check a bag and watch retards take 20 minutes to get off a fricking plane.

System is backwards.

The only part of the system that is backwards are the dumbasses that sit in the back of the plane but shove their carry on bag in the first overhead bin they see when they board the plane.

People will downvote you and fight, but I've been saying this for years. The airlines BEGGGGGGG you to courtesy check your bag at the gate as if they don't have the answer right in front of them. Charge, and all of this goes away!

I like when the FAs scold them and make them take it back down
The first bin is technically reserved for First Class only on many airlines, until the very end of a FA puts it there.

Most frequent business travelers can check bags for free. Those folks goal is to spend the least amount of time possible in the airport. Having to wait at baggage claim at current volume factoring in deboarding time is already less than ideal (thus making the choice of not checking bags even for free). Speeding one up without dramatically speeding up the other is even worse.

That is everyone’s goal.

The truth is the airlines want you to carry on your bags because it is a cost cutting measure for them. They charge you to check bags to incentivize you to take on the cost of labor and liability instead of them. If everyone checked bags as OP suggested think of how many more baggage handlers the airlines (or subcontractor) would have to hire. How much more their liability increases for increased amounts of lost bags, damaged bags, damaged items, workers comp for injuries to baggage handlers, additional customer service reps to handle claims, etc.

They only do this when the flights are full and they have no choice because there physically isn't enough space for the carry ons.

Then why make a policy that would elongate both the bag check process (lines likely 3x as long) on the front end and the bag retrieval process on the back end? Unless airlines throw massive resources at this to support it on both ends, that is the result. Sure they could charge for the carry on, but unless it is a universal decision, every business traveler (who they cater to, that is their biggest $ maker) will just flock to another airline.

While you’re twiddling your dick wondering why your $50 checked bag hasn’t reached the carousel yet, I’ve already long left the airport with my free carry-on and am getting on with life.
And you’re calling me the retard in this scenario?

If they ever figure out how to unload the plane quickly I will miss out on my entertainment of that one woman flipping out in the back of the plane because she is going to miss her next flight.

Actually enforce size limitations for carryons and this problem goes away.
Posted on 8/21/26 at 4:48 am to GregMaddux
The problem is retards putting more than one bag in the overhead.
Posted on 8/21/26 at 5:08 am to GregMaddux
I just bring my carryon to gate and let them check it there for free

70 bucks to use the overhead. Fee for inconveniencing those who already paid 50 to not bring all their shite on the plane.
If you can’t go a week in just a carry-on you shouldn’t be traveling by air.

These bums can afford $350 for a ticket but not an extra $45 for a checked bag
