The last time that we flew on UNITED was the last time that we will ever use that carrier again. We flew from Houston to Amsterdam (round trip) and it was one of the worst flying experiences, ever. That airline has given a whole new meaning to the word “SUCKS”.

Good. As a frequent flier it is rediculous what people try to bring on. The whole line is slowed down while some fool struggles to cram a huge bag that just won’t fit. Don’t get me started about the ladies who have 15 grocery bags that take up bins and slow down everything.

Is this one of those hilarious “Carry On” movies from the Brits?

I used to fly regularly, because I had to go to meetings. After numerous times that my checked luggage got lost, and maybe turned up several days later, I got in the habit of only bringing a carry-on bag. Since I usually only was away for just a few days, I could manage that, although it wasn’t always ideal. But it was great not to lose the luggage, and not to have to wait sometimes up to an hour for my suitcase to turn up at the luggage carousel.

This is obviously the reason why passengers want to carry on their luggage.

well yes. there are some weird people who are obviously smuggling army tanks and their living room chesterfields in “free carryon bags”

this makes the flights miserable for every normal person onboard

I don’t have a problem with this. Ever since the checked baggage fee people bring all their luggage on board. Overhead bins are full half-way through boarding.

The bags have more room in the overhead compartment then I do in my tiny 17” wide seat with the seat ahead of me pushed back so far I cannot stand up right. If I could I would ride in the overhead compartment!
