| Quote (Ziggy @ Aug. 14 2007,3:20 pm) |  Checking or not checking baggage?  I ain't got any knitting needles or boxknives in my bags? We had bags lost on one trip for most of a day when we went to Sweden, we ended up going to our first meeting in the same clothes we traveled 12+ hours in. So travel channel had tips about having a few extra things in your carryon bags for just that reason. Also, if we can avoid the waits around the baggage carousels we will pack what we need into a couple carryons and avoid that whole scene. Clear baggy for the stuff that needs to be. We've done it enough to make it thru checks quickly and have even been thanked by some inspectors for being smart about it...LOL I'm looking at it from a travelers perspective not TSA. I want to get in/out and through as quickly as we can. |
I could give two hoots about the TSA...
It's seems that it's gotten to the point that so many people are carrying on all of their luggage that it's absurd...
When I was burning up the airways going to see Bushy this last year, I was always amazed at how long it took us to get off the airplane due to everyones multiple carry on bags... ÂÂ
I know it seems everyone has a lost baggage story, and maybe it's because I travel primarily for leisure instead of business, but I'd be just as happy if the scarlines would ban any carryon bigger than a briefcase.  I check everything, and figure if the bags don't make it, there will be some place to buy a couple pair of shorts and a shirt or two where ever I am going. ÂÂ
I almost missed a connection in Chi-town last winter because I was stuck at the back of an MD-80 while 100 other people removed multiple carryon items and sauntered down the isle.  It took me 30 minutes to get off the airplane. ÂÂ
<---- not a big fan of the carryon bags...
