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.

Also don't forget this decade's follow on:

People started putting Airtags in their suitcases because they wanted to know where their luggage was and call the airlines on their BS, so they banned those in checked bags too.

Zero attempt to remedy the root cause, but damned if they aren't going to stop people trying to cure the symptoms.

Going to need a source on the AirTag ban... I used them six times in the last 18 months, no problems, and I had the peace-of-mind that my bag had made it onto the plane.

Happend to me while in Europe. Not sure about other parts of the world. Was not for long though.
