I will tell you exactly why. When British Airways guarantees me who has paid to be in CE that my bags will neither be lost, damaged, or stolen and that I am not obliged to spend interminable minutes at some baggage carousel; then and only then do the get their hands on my compliant size roller bag which I can lift myself.

Half the stories that we read here is of baggage woes caused by folk not being able to restrict the amount that they lug around the world. They do little to encourage me. Let the dear ground souls come to me in Group One to inquire if I would care to check my belongings. So far, they never have as I make sure that I meet meet the rules

As it often the case (excuse bad pun). Another month brings another discussion bro and con the hand baggage regulations. I wish as much attention could be spent to politely asking crew who block the CE baggage bins, kindly move their stuff elsewhere to make way for paying passengers.
