You're correct, logically, it does not. But, when you are taking a trip between two cities less than 200 miles away, your expectations are different. I wasn't traveling across the globe desiring slippers or wine or entertainment. I was simply going back to school for two days. Do you understand what I'm saying? I only needed basic service including having a bag come with me. What is wrong with air travel when one shouldn't complain if one's bag isn't on the flight one is traveling on?
