You might think that the cabin allowance is generous, but it's completely inadequate for photographers for example who can't / daren't check their kit into the hold. If airlines offered a sensible-price 'cabin bags+' upgrade that'd be magnificent but in its absence I have to go by road instead.

This isn't the 1960s when only the upper-class flew. Do you really think it's reasonable to charge the equivalent of three-hours of minimum wage work just to stow one bag in the hold? A bag that's going for the trip, anyway?
