So that means that every biz traveller with a roller bag will now have to check it? Um, ill pass on that one. Id rather wait an extra 8 minutes to get the plane boarded than wait an extra 25 for my bag. And I am flying to IAH today on an $800 r/t "K" fare, so to ask me to pay $25 more to check my bag that already fits in the overhead bin (the short way) is tantamount to highway robbery.
