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.
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.
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 always pack as light as possible. IDC if I have to wear the same 3 pairs of pants for 2 weeks. Undies are what really matter and they’re small and easy to roll
At home I won’t wear a pair of pants for more than a day (unless I was only out for like, 3 hours)
But traveling? 1 pair of pants per week, and underwear is generally 0.5 pairs a day, as in I’ll wear it for like, 2 days if I can. But if I’ve been super active I will not be doing that.
I travel a lot and taking your bags with you on the plane is just inefficient as fuck. Sure, you’re out of the airport 5 minutes quicker, but you also have to take that shit everywhere with you. I consider you the amateur traveller.
Everywhere where? Inside the airport? What’s the big deal? Because once you’re out of the airport, you still have to carry all your bags, regardless of whether they were checked or not.
Nothing to do with my seat. I’ll die before I end up having to check bags.
Keep sitting amateur.
I feel the complete opposite!

Time is money
Stress from impatience is time cut from your life.

Traveling by myself, absolutely agree. Traveling with family, if I could check all our bags the day before the flight, I would.

Oh God I have to wear a back pack and have all my electronics on hand at all times!
