-100 trips (not legs) a year.
-Avg wait time at the carousel = 30 minutes.
-Avg extra bag-drop time = 10 minutes
--------------------------------------
100 x 40 minutes = 4000 minutes a year or 66 hours of time I can never get back. THAT is why I do not check bags...oh yea, and then there is the occasional lost bag/delayed delivery.
George Clooney, is that you?
