And if I were NOT a Plat or other Elite, I would have had even more stuff with me. With the one bag allowance, people are stuffing more into their carry-ons and taking up more time at the security line and the check-in.
I usually fly the same routes, so I'm wondering, is this electronic new rule at ALL airports? So far I have been forced to separate my electronics at DTW, MKE, and LAS. The latter being the worst as those lines to get to the CO area are LONG!
Anyone else having trouble with these rules? I had to wait while checking in at MKE b/c the couple ahead of me had more than 1 bag apiece and only one person working the CE check-in. By the time they repacked stuff into their carry-ons and paid for one extra bag, I could've checked in and been sipping a diet coke at the NW Club.
Bump ..
I snipped a bit of the original message, but it finally happened to me.
All electronics out meant all electronics out. At CAK I ended up with a "train" of at least eight full-size bins plus additional "change size bins" going thru the x-ray machine. They insisted every electronic item needed its own bin and even started to separate my stuff into more bins because I put a camera and a spare battery in the same bin.
Small airport syndrome?
