Just got a notice from Frontier Airlines and they are going to start charging for over head luggage.

Charging for checked bags rather than carry on bags was always a HUGE mistake.

Gee, why not encourage MORE people to carry oversized overweight multiple carry on bags? What could be wrong with even MORE fights for overhead bin space, even MORE time spent as people wrangle their bags into or out of the bins, MORE time spent getting on or off the airplane, MORE time spent checking that the carry on bags don’t have contraband, MORE people getting hit by bags, MORE bags sent back to the luggage compartment because there isn’t room in the bins or they are oversized, MORE waiting while they re-open the luggage compartment, MORE angry people wrestling mutliple oversized carry on bags, MORE people hit by their surplus baggage as they negotiate narrow aisles?

What could POSSIBLY be wrong with charging for checked bags but not carry on bags? I really don’t see why this would create or exacerbate problesm!/s

I fly to Arkansas twice a year to see family. I always fly Allegiant since they are cheaper and fly into a small airport not far from my cousins house. They started charging for overhead baggage last year.
