The airlines that charge for checked luggage that seem to have fastest boarding are the ones that also charge for carry on (that’s bigger than a medium sized backpack). The likes of Easyjet and Ryanair. What’s more they manage the demand for overhead locker space by increasing prices the fuller it gets (or is likely to get). This model understandably is probably not popular in the US.

False economy without thinking about what PAX actually need to bring if they’re flying.

Take No Luggage ?
That’s the idiocy of thinking about leisure travellers

So if you do surcharge like those pesky CC surcharges, it reminds rational people how poorly you are treating them.
