I always check bags....In all the years I have traveled my checked luggage has only been "delayed" once. </font>
I used to feel the same way. In years of flying, I had misrouted baggage only once...until about two years ago. In the past two years, my luggage has been misrouted several times. It's changed my thinking about carry-ons. At a minimum, I carry on a change of clothes and a toothbrush on outbound flights.
