Cool. I’ll meet you at the baggage carousel and we can fight while you wait for you bags.


Sounds like we need to start putting Sonics in airports.

You obviously can’t identify women. It is more often than not.

Well can we at least load the people on the back of the plane 1st? The way they board a plane makes zero logistical sense.

Sure, as long as airfare for passengers is charged according to weight.

I thought you put that elitist attitude behind after you became a public defender?

You also have a lot more people checking in their bag. I can’t imagine a system people just drop bags without an attendant to check them in. This takes time.

Then you have a lot more people and a lot more bags to pick up.

What’s the percentage of people that check a bag? 80%? I’ve routinely carried on international even so it’s not even 100% there.

I attempt to carry-on all the time, but inevitably they will start checking carry- ons because they don’t have room. I’m almost always lucky enough to be one of the ones who gets his bagged checked at the plane. I don’t mind it on direct flights, but if I have a layover I start getting worried.

nah, Americans need to stop prizing social idiocy, get off the fricking phone, and get their shite together. Too many morons in this country to do anything efficiently when it involves the broad spectrum of society

What an absolute nightmare of an idea for a number of reasons. I’m sure OP would enjoy showing up 4 hours early to his flight to check everything from here on out

It doesn’t take more than 30-45 minutes to get checked in at even the busiest airports in the country. And that’s the absolute maximum.

What about if you triple the number of bags being checked

Frankly I’m sure most airports aren’t even set up to handle this. Not to mention the number of people the airline industry would have to add to accommodate. All of this passed on to us the consumer, and the companies that regularly fly for business. Passed on to the economy at large

Just board back to front, and your bag goes over your seat. Problem solved
