Will you no longer fly US/UA/DL/NW?

[Bill From PA]

Baggage limitations have always been a factor in our choice of an airline. The last 3 WDW trips, all within the last year, have been with JetBlue, AirTran and SouthWest, we haven't used a legacy carrier in a little while. As I mentioned on another thread, the only unfairness, IMHO, would be to apply new restrictions to a ticket purchased before the 1 bag limit was announced.

SW didn't grandfather previously purchased tickets last time they lowered the checked luggage limits.

I agree it's unfair, but our opinion doesn't count for much.

Delta is below unfair, continuing to book tickets while showing the old rules in the main sections of their website.

... in Germany and France at least size matters

Oh, I know that it does, but I've seen people game the system many times, though I'll grant I've never flown Lufthansa. I've seen it done on Air France, though.

Normally what I see is that what goes into the case while in the airport lav is small but heavy stuff, like power chargers, coins, & papers. The size issue is often something people wait to manage while actually on the plane. They will put a thin shopping bag in the carryon, wear all the extra clothing, then once on the plane go into the lav and strip off the extra clothing, putting it in the shopping bag.

BA's domestic carryon allowance is 13 lbs. My laptop bag normally weighs more than that when it has my work papers and power devices in it.
(My laptop bag is American, but not the typical heavy sort -- I ditched the clunky company-issued bag and bought my own. I can't afford to ditch the company-issued laptop, though -- that weighs 8 lbs. by itself. We have some Mac-devotee people that travel abroad quite frequently; they are always having issues with the 17" MacBook Pros that they carry, as the cases for them tend to be oversized, too.)

Over this issue, nope. No big deal. I rarely check more than one bag so it really does not effect me.

I will continue to search for the best value when I travel (price/time/service)

I am choosing to not fly Delta anymore. It isn't just that they are implicating this policy, but it's the way they are doing so.

So, my question to you - do you plan to 'boycott' United, US Airways, Delta and/or Northwest due to the 2nd bag fee?

No - I look at it as a good way to get my family to pack less! We always take too much stuff.

No boycott from me. I only check one bag only when flying domestically.
