It stresses me out to feel encumbered on a plane. I don't mind waiting at a carousel for a while to get my luggage if it means I can board with nothing but headphones and an overpriced pretzel.
If they lose my bags, I'll get them back eventually. It's not like they don't have stores at [insert destination].
Depends on what's in your carry-on. They don't have acid stores (yet, well maybe in Portland) so I'll be damned if my ten sheets are getting checked and stolen. Or my take-daily-or-die meds. Or my laptop that would be a huge clusterfuck to restore from backup.
Imagine flying in 1 day for a wedding and they lose your checked bag with the bridesmaid dress or fitted suit. Happens all the time.
So yeah, although stores do exist, I'm standing as soon as possible because I want to make sure not to cause myself extreme extended stress due to lost luggage.
Time is money
Stress from impatience is time cut from your life.
You gotta wait in a line no matter what you do. At least queuing up first to board means you don’t have to spend extra time waiting for your bags to unload. Then again this process does not stress me out, I just want to leave the airport as soon as I land and get on with my day.
Traveling by myself, absolutely agree. Traveling with family, if I could check all our bags the day before the flight, I would.
Oh I hear that. Anything you can do to make that process easier is worth it. It’s like trying to herd cats. Last thing you need is to wrangle with luggage.
I feel the complete opposite!
