They account for 34% of the traffic out of San Diego. If I want to get somewhere I can usually do it nonstop on them. I appreciate your sympathy in being poor.

I travel a shit ton for work on AA, only had 1 issue with a checked bag in the past 2 years and that was at Burbank. I don't understand how you guys have so many issues what the fuck are you doing? honestly for my mate and i, it's not that we've had many issues flying...in fact we've rarely had any at alI. but one, we almost always need a vehicle at our destination, and if the rental car+plane tickets significantly exceeds gas+lodging, it's just logical. also, we're retired and i love to drive, especially in places i've never been before. but the biggest factor, for me, is that airlines have done everything they can to make you as uncomfortable as possible, the entire process is as big a PITA as possible...and they charge you as much money as possible to subject you to it. we're paying for an unpleasant experience. it pisses me off. that's why if we can drive, we will. having said that, we are very efficient and experienced travelers, and obviously if we're going international or far cross country we'll fly.
December 29, 20222 yr Checked luggage team raise up. Valuables stay with me. All rest of bulk shit - including snorkel gear - gets dropped off until I land. Whats the worst thing that has happened? Bag gets delivered to my house/hotel the next day. Big whoop.

I view it as disposable and don't have to get upset if some baggage handler does something stupid to damage the bag. Biggest piece of advice it hard sided though.

December 29, 20222 yr Don't understand the carry-on folks here trying to talk more people into following their lead. If everyone carries on as much as you, you might find yourself checking your carry-on when the overhead bins fill up. And if you have a carry-on PLUS a 40L backpack, you actually have 2 carry-ons. The 40L ain't fitting completely under the seat.

December 29, 20222 yr Or take the opposite approach and buy an Amazon Basics hardsided set. Soft sided is a superior carryon so you can access exterior pockets. If you happen to be treated like a poor and have to remove your liquids bag, you don’t want to have to open up an a hard side.

December 29, 20222 yr You fuckers are so goddamned stupid. You roll up Abbott style and get a goddamn escort through the airport with one of those fancy wheelchair pushing porters.

There's 3 of those types on nearly every Southwest flight, who board early with their 5 children and spouse or nanny) which is why I don't fly that airline anymore. Also can we get a thread name change? Something like What the fuck is wrong with you luggage-checking degenerates? (That's not my judgment, just an assessment of this fucking thread.)

December 29, 20222 yr Last time I flew united they started preemptively checking bags after group 2. We took off with about half of the bins completely empty. I assume it’s their way of trying to get people to pay for the upgraded boarding on their next trip.
