Airline industry insiders say passengers have become carried away with carry-on baggage, leading to costly delays. That’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.

      That would help but a lot of folks check bags so they don’t have to wait and the carousel and because airlines lose bags all the time.

        That last one in particular. I don’t mind waiting at the carousel, as long as I know for sure my bag isn’t heading to a completely different airport.
