They deliver to your home. You don’t have to go get it.

My family has dealt with lost luggage. It was a two hour drive to ours. It was dropped off in the overnight hours by a driver.

Yes, and they would make that drive.

I've seen a 24 inch checked size bag go through the scanner, I'm pretty sure I've seen a 26 inch go through. Don't think I've ever seen a 28 inch or larger. It doesn't have to go through the scanner, it could be hand inspected if it's too large for the scanner.

I don't think it's ignoring, just that no one here has an answer for you. The only time I flew standby I had a confirmed seat on a later flight and checked my bag for that flight. My checked bag made it on to the earlier flight with me.

You’re right. I don’t know why I bother.
20 years of visits. So many tries at fitting in on this site. I’m done. Deleting my account… AGAIN.
It’s a bit of a bummer as I turn off the bedside light at Boardwalk. Triple split stay and I had thoughts to share, or so I thought

What are you talking about? I thought the same thing as EA when I saw your question. I didn’t have an answer. Would you rather an incorrect answer?

I also haven’t had the experience of flying standby and needing to check a bag, but this is what Southwest says:

“You may be separated from your checked bags. Your baggage may arrive on your original flight rather than your standby flight. Southwest will only be responsible for delivery in the event your baggage doesn't arrive on the original flight it was checked on.”

I’m sorry you feel you don’t fit in, but I honestly think people simply didn’t have the answer to your question.

I actually hate lugging a carry on and I know I am in the minority. I much prefer checking my bag & letting someone else deal with it. I only carry a change of clothes, my meds & enough toiletries for one night and that often fits in my hobo bag under the seat. Only once have I had my luggage go missing.
Really there is no one size fits all solution.

I am right there with you.

I was always shocked with so many people dragging suitcases down the aisle when SW gave two free bags. Yes it takes some extra time once you land but I don't want to have to babysit a bag in the airport plus have to go through TSA screening with it as with my luck they would probably open every single one of my packing cubes.

I am a recent convert to this philosophy. Check bags, no carryons, just a personal item each that fits under the seats. And a car service that meets us at the baggage claim and takes our bags to a waiting vehicle.
