Oh, what a carry on
Article Abstract:
Airlines offer cheaper and faster services than before, but they are also more stressful. There is a case for segregating children, who tend to make too much noise, and for greater control of baggage carried onto planes, since too much baggage causes delays. There should be better compensation for mislaid baggage, since frequent fliers may find the risks of losing baggage to be unacceptable, and compensation levels for lost baggage are too low. Travelers could be weighed with their baggage and a limit to the total could be imposed.
