If you interpreted that as me calling you stupid, then that was never the intention.
It is what it is when it comes to cabin baggage. It's in the name - cabin baggage. Anyone can bring it into the cabin if they pay or where they have status. If they don't have status and don't pay, the penalty is putting it in the hold. Putting a cabin bag in the hold is not a perk.
I agree, it's a poor work around - I'd never do it, but it would be a way to do it if people wanted to avoid the checked baggage fee. There'd be no other way to do it unless you have another suggestion?
It’s easy - you allow status holders to select a cabin bag or checked bag at the time of booking.
