United Actually Enforcing Carry-on Size Limits
A major airline finally seems to be cracking down on passengers who board planes with carry-ons the size of dumpsters, or who try to game the system at the gate. United has begun enforcing its rules on the size of carry-on luggage, even turning back some passengers at security checkpoints and requiring them to return to the counter to do what they should have done in the first place.

Thank you. Just for that, my next flight will definitely be on United.
I do not check my luggage due to the fact that it has gotten misplaced too many times. I am a 1 million miller on United and every time I travel with my family my suitcases 1 out 2 don't make it. Was left in Israel without luggage for 3 days - It arrived in time for me to go back home… Even on Southwest my carryon was checked at the gate to my final destination - It did not make it. It was lost for 10 hours on a 45 minute flight….. I have bad luck with my luggage so I will always CARRY ON…..
It's about time! I've been flying for over 50 years and hate to lug around my luggage through the airport and on the plane. In these years I've had my luggage "misdirected" three times... Considering the ease of maneuvering through TSA, terminal, restaurants/bars, and gate area, I'll take these odds and check my bag every time. These idiots boarding with footlocker sized bags need to travel with more confidence in the system of baggage handling. Overall, I like the odds of checking my bag and traveling with less stress.
On Alaska Airlines, the last several times I've flown, they are now boarding customers who have nothing for the overhead bins right after the pre-board and first class customers...
I have never used the overhead bin. Don't want the hassle. I stick my backpack under the seat in front of me and go to sleep. I throw the rest of my crap in the belly. If you don't have twenty bucks... What do you think you're doing traveling by jet?
As a pax, I do like the overhead bin but I like my bag over my seat. What I dislike is having to go back 5 rows+ to find a place to stow it. Seems to me that there is a bin over 3 seats and you are entitled to 1/3rd of it.
