Finding room for carry-on baggage has become 'the Hunger Games' of air travel, analyst says (www.cbc.ca)

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.

Airtags are honestly the best invention for this.

They're a bit wonky/laggy during your trip, but when your luggage is lost it's nice to be able to tell baggage claim "the bag looks like X, and it's in terminal 3 of Pearson right now"

Better than that, once you get to your destination, you can find it when you get within 30m... I found out that our bags were sent to a different carousel, and then taken off the belt and into the area behind us on one trip this spring.

Airlines can't be trusted to get their shit together, and having an AirTag / Tile is even better...
