Well...
The reason that carry on luggage has gotten way out of hand is that we know how disgracefully our checked baggage will be handled, (I watch them fall off baggage trains, being thrown, dropped and stacked at the bottom of a two tonne load.
And that we also know that it will take another 45 minutes wait at the collection carouselle too, ...if the bag has not been sent to Singapore by mistake, that is.
