So there's that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] candybrie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I think every airline who gives you a free carry-on will check it at the gate for you for free. In fact, they'll often beg you to do so. But at that point you're losing the benefits of carry-on baggage like access to your stuff during layovers, getting to skip baggage claim, and no chance for them to lose your stuff. permalink fedilink source parent
