Delta asked me # of bags to check. Clicked 0. The next screen asked #of carry-ons and if I wanted to pre-check those for free. First time I’ve seen this

It’s clever, I guess. Try to extract money. If failed, give a free option for the subset of bags that cause the most problems. A better approach would be to allow ‘qualifying’ bags to be checked at the counter for free. Size should be the sole measure, but they’d want to get liquids into the criteria somehow.

The best solution is to drop bag fees entirely and raise prices accordingly. The world can’t become less shitty though, by law. So here we are.
