The End of Checked-Backage Charges

How has the practice of charging people for checked-baggage by the airline affected your luggage habits? For me its clear -- I went out and bought all new luggage that all fits as carry-on. Remember, you can take one bag for free carry-on size and one back pack or purse or laptop case on the plane. When you travel with kids, each of your kids may take a large carry-on too -- just be prepared to pull those bags yourself. I predict the whole practice of charging for checked bags will eventually die out. Think about it -- first companies one by one start charging and one day they will one by one start announcing the end of checked bag fees as a way to differentiate themselves!
