Seeing the crowd of people squeeze off the Airplane like a tube of toothpaste only to all congregate around baggage claim is the same energy as passing aggressively on the street only for you to pull up next to them at the redlight.
I used to fly for work a LOT. At one point it was 2x a week for a year.
I have never once had my bags make it to baggage claim before me, even being the last person off the plane.
You couldn't get away with just doing a carry on? It would have to be a 2+ week trip for me going through the hell of checking a bag.
I'm guessing the work travel involved merchandise they couldn't put in a carryon, either due to size or other factors.
of course. bottled water salesman.
Or knives.
I'm with you. Shitty ass airlines sometimes will force you to check your bag, and I even recently had them do this when the overhead bins remained half empty. Infuriating!
Not GP, but I get free checked bags with “priority” (so they show up first) and pretty much only check a bag. Sometimes I just check a small carryon item.
I carry a backpack with my laptop and other electronics on the plane and that’s it.
i used to fly a lot back in the 90s. rarely had to wait for bags, even when taking the cattle car (old swa).
Happened to me at STT. I think they ended up on a dedicated baggage flight or something, because they didn’t come off my plane. Thought they’d been lost and started freaking out, turns out they’d been there for a while already and had been set aside. Wish I’d been on the flight without the layover.
Those islands have different rules. Longest I've ever waited for bags
Try İstanbul airports - especially Sabiha Gökçen. They are really fast.
alaska air has a 20 minute guarantee. they’ve beaten me before to the baggage claim, pretty impressive.
This ignores:
Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I'm in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy
This only includes the people with a carry-on though.
