One of the most talked about subject for the seasoned travel and the vacation traveler is to check your bags, do carry on or ship ahead your bags. There are as many answers to these questions as there are people as it really is an individual thing. What brought this subject up is the new fees for checking your luggage.
So we are going to just talk about some of the way different people look at each of these ways to get your bags where you are going and back home again.
Seems that the people that have lost their luggage, their luggage was on another airplane because of a delay, their plane was re-routed and got separated from their luggage are the ones that say, I will always carry on my luggage. The inconvenience of not having my luggage for a day and sometimes days is just to inconvenient.
How some of those people handle that situation now, is hire a luggage service to ship their luggage, but the rest of the group resorts to carrying it on and the huge inconvenience of that, right down to the restrictive packing and limiting your items you want on your trip/vacation.
The passengers who are all for checking luggage say that lugging the baggage all over the airport, on and off the airplane, longer time at security, just is not worth it, they feel that they can save much more time and aggravation by checking their luggage. Many seasoned travelers say that they have not had lost luggage hardly at all and the couple times that has happened it was delivered in a timely manner directly by the airport.
Most all people agree that the airline personnel on the plane needs to supervise the limits and sizes of the carry ons and if they aren't the correct size and limits they that they tell them they have to be checked. Of course this takes additional time for the airline and now that flights are on a tighter schedule this is hard for everyone.
My one suggestion is for the physically challenged of any kind, is to check their bags, it is just easier for everyone concerned and easier to get help at the parting and arriving airports; and for you. The rest of you, just try all the different methods and see which one works best for you. Happy Traveling.
