ok Axl. How was your time in Beverly Hills? 

Try a last minute flight into Kabul or Katmandu. Now that is fun in January.

Montreal was surprisingly a non-event in Jan. Canadians know how to deal with snow.

    Did the airline lose their luggage? If so, everything that they've got is just what they have on.

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’ll contemplate that as I walk to the beach tomorrow on my morning walk.

Man you mofos like driving, fuck all that shit. I will drive to Austin but that is about it, I fly to Houston and SA when I have to go. 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. 

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 have a secret. After I stick my carryon in the overhead bin. By backpack that is supposed to go under the seat. I always stick in in the overhead bin as well so my feet have room under the seat 😎

Certified Not Poor here. SWA is the biggest carrier out of BWI, which is my most convenient airport and the easiest route for Boy #1 in SAT.

Get a TravelPro carryon. If you don’t want to drop $800 on Briggs & Riley, TravelPro is excellent, especially at under $200, for a carryon.

Or take the opposite approach and buy an Amazon Basics hardsided set. 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. I've seen my bag sit on the runway in a torrential downpour. All my stuff was dry, can't say that about everyone else's

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.

That’s only for the poors who are boarding 20 min after I’ve boarded and sat down

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.

Not if you’re Group 1.

Crowing about wearing the same 2 pairs of jeans for a week is the opposite of a humble brag.

Until you have to gate check your shit.  It's always a give and take.  I have clear + global entry/pre-check so removing your liquids is for the poors

You always get your carryon stowed if you’re flying first. 
Only “Group 5-ers” have to deal with bins being full.

So this thread has been 3 pages of Southwest cancelling 10,000 flights and 7 pages of arguing about carry-on vs checked.

Peak Surly

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. The Red Sea of chuds part and you are first aboard the flight, with someone to care for you and your bag the entire flight. Extra kudos if you can stolen valor it and pretend you have battlefield injuries (can usually get a round of applause or free business class with that move).

I was always firmly in the Applewhite camp. Just looked up their stats. Was actually surprised 1) How close they were in statistics and 2) How they both seem very middle of the road by today's standards. 

Applewhite:

They were the same player, except that Applewhite seemed to have the "it" factor.

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.)

The comically absurd thing about this is that there are actually 9 boarding groups, and “group 1” is merely in the middle of it

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.

Yesterday the figure for today's cancellations was already huge when I checked. Maybe they are getting back on track?

My last trip was the same thing.  The stewardess was fucking irate.  She said who the hell told them to start checking bags we got bins to fill.

You probably like beans in your chili.

And your women too skinny, instead of Vic Mackey-style.  Or maybe you like em too big, like Vic Mackey, instead of the more slender ideal.

They're gonna fire Beard, when the incident wasn't his fault, which pisses you off.  Unless they're not gonna fire Beard because he struck a woman, which pisses you off.

Could be the best thread derail in Surly history. The overlords should save it for posterity. Maybe someone can make a MS paint image of us all boarding a flight. I cannot draw for shit or I would do it.
