Do You Know Where My Bag Is.

I am sitting in St Thomas as I write this. My friend had to gate check her carry on, and of course, DL lost it. She lost 1/2 day going to local shops to get clothes. I am quite sure she would have loved to have had her bag strapped into a seat.

You are more than welcome to enjoy the gate check experience. To each his/her own.
I was referring to Gate Valet, not gate checking. I would agree that I don't like to gate check, but I'd still prefer that strapped luggage not be allowed. Not even sure that DLs policy or other regulations allow it.
