Airline industry insiders say passengers have become carried away with carry-on baggage, leading to costly delays. Thatโ€™s prompting calls for changes to how airplanes charge for baggage, with some discount airlines like Sunwing and Spirit already beginning to flip the fee structure so passengers pay for the privilege of keeping their bags on board.

People started packing clothes in their carry-on because their checked luggage would be lost by the airline.

Sure, but there's just not enough cabin space for what folks are trying to do now. Doesn't help they redesigned the cabins to fit more seats.

They had the clothes for the next day,the rest was checked. While baggage was lost somewhat often, you normally got it the next day
