A digest of the top blogger thoughts and ideas - The A listers

Look at the bright side... No more people taking cary-on lugage on the plane. I know they did not say ANY lugage, but why even bring one on now? It was only good to hold something to drink and toiletries and a few magazines. Pack the personal care products where they belong, in stowage. Just carry the magazines in your hand now. Normally, it takes 15 minutes to just get into your seat and another 15 to get off. Not now! 30 seconds and your in your seat! This will shorten the scanning time also. NOTHING TO SCAN. I always check everything at the curb anyway. A blessing in disguise. You already have to go to the carousal, now you just get one more bag. This should have been the rule from the begining.

True, for people who regularly check baggage. I've checked baggage twice in my life - once when going to work in New York State for a summer, and once when going as an exchange student to Brasil for a year. Other than that, I always packed light in a single carry on - even on 2-week vacations.
