The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

    • I hate when airlines lose bags
    • I dislike bringing more stuff than I can easily carry on my back
    • I only have one bag and my laptop goes in it, so it ain’t going down below.

    It isn’t about price. In fact some airlines are starting to charge more for a carry-on.

    I’m also really good at bringing less. I travel months at a time with carry on only.

        I guess part of my different perspective is that 99% of my flight travels are for work, and I’m paid by the hour, even on days when I’m doing nothing but traveling.

      How about waiting for fuckin ever for a checked bag? I think I’ve waited 40+ minutes for a checked bag before. Not only does it suck to wait after a day or traveling but you also get to have anxiety that your bag might be lost as you continually watch people you recognize from your flight take their bags and go
