I'm a business traveler who flies from city A to city B to cities C, D, and F, sometimes several cities in one day. I carry business materials in that carryon. If airline loses it, the whole trip is ruined and thousands of dollars in airfares wasted.
Not to mention there's proprietary data on the laptop which I cannot afford to lose. It must stay with me, along with files and paperwork. And since I never spend more than one night ina city, if my bag gets lost, it will never catch up with me until I get home a week or more later.
Most of the air travelers who cram too much in the overheads seem to be vacationers, not business travelers, who are good at packing lightly.
In my situation, would you check your bag?
