Unfortunately I am at the point of my life where I either go on vacation with my family for a week, or are going between home and college, so I do have to check a bag. I fortunately (knock on wood) haven't had my bag lost or damaged yet. While I find it annoying sometimes that people are struggling to grab their large bags from the overhead bins (especially if I have a tight connection), I do kind of support it because I disagree with airlines charging fees for checking bags. There is no need for them to do so other than to make more money.
