Carry-On Critic

The airlines are considering limiting the number of carry-on bags. On a recent trip, my husband and I each had one carry-on, and as we were boarding the plane we were told we had to check one of the bags through to our destination, even though it contained medication, as the flight was full.

We checked the bag through and, as we waited for takeoff, saw many passengers with several large bags from the duty-free shops, stashing them in the overhead bins. I feel that these souvenirs and bottles of liquor should be packed and transported as baggage.
