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.

If I could track my bag from check in to pick up through the airlines own app, they would have my business. Also if I didn't have to wait up to an hour to get it.

For now I'll stick to travelling light with carry on.

That's great and all until you track your luggage heading to Seattle while you've just arrived in Portland. Ask me how I know that one.
