And pay $50 and have to wait for my bag? Pass. I'll save my money and time and use a carry on, though I can throw my bag into the bin/get it down without breaking stride at this point.
It's 35 bucks each way. how much stuff do you carry with you?

Well...having to sit longer in your chair is one thing...having to get out and push because your pilot forgot to release the parking brake and now it's frozen is a whole 'nother thing.

Let me guess, the de-icing equipment was frozen too? lol
As for the debate between carry-on and checked luggage, remember how often airlines lose luggage, and it arrives several days late. If on a trip, you're going to want to make sure you have all you need for the first few days with you, just in case your suitcase decides to take a trip of its own to a different continent. This is why many people, especially those that are gone on very short trips pack only the necessary and only have carry-ons. Makes sense for a 2-day business trip.

From experience, so far in the 4 years of flying I've done, non stop with United has never lost my luggage... I even stuck a ham in my clothes bag and sent it through checked luggage, Miami to Chicago and it was still there on the other side.

(it's also stupid to board the plane ONLY from the front and at the same time start with the FIRST instead of the last seats. I can understand that airlines are doing this to encourage you to buy premium seats, but it's annoying as hell).

Maybe he bought the bag just prior to his trip and didn't really look at it long enough to remember what it looked like. That's why I usually prefer bright red bags, not too many of those around...
Anyway, the whole luggage thing is just a huge disaster in my opinion. Carry-on means everybody has to queue for another 10 minutes during boarding until the idiot in row 5 manages to calmly retrieve his laptop while chatting with the flight attendant until he finally manages to store his carry-on, all the time holding up EVERYBODY ELSE. And then the same happens in row 6, then 7 and so on... (it's also stupid to board the plane ONLY from the front and at the same time start with the FIRST instead of the last seats.

Which is why you never store anything that can be of value to anyone else in the checked luggage. I don't get people that put their laptops or tablets in the checked luggage. If they don't get broken, they get stolen.If you check a bag, you risk getting it stolen, misdirected, left behind, lost or otherwise delayed. People might break into it and steal (or add) something, the TSA can always decide to force the lock open when they don't have their special little key around and I won't even speak of the damage that baggage handlers can cause.
RAlso, Stockholm Arlanda has eduroam.
