Truth.

I will have white-hot hate for airlines that do this, speaking as someone who only checks luggage when he has liquids (read:booze) that don't fit in 3-2-1 sized plastic bags, and has traveled the world for three weeks out of carryon luggage (that fits in sizers, and that I weighed).

I hate waiting for luggage and I can travel for 3-4 days in a backpack that fits under a seat, and I travel light. I can guarantee that I will be flying WN a lot if airlines continue the trend towards nuisance fees and slaps in the face for non-elites.
