^I always want to at least bring my CPAP, meds, and a few other essentials with me on the plane, lest they lose my checked in stuff. That should fit nicely under the seat, though.

i think a smallish bag, large purse, and or pack is fine...... like the old days...
but nowadays peeps bring too much onboard, to save fees, and it clogs up security, and the boarding process....
to drop all the fees, and stop the carry on maddness, would instantly clear up TSA and bring the airlines into ontime schedule...
i see families in the TSA with like 5 or 7 big bags full of shit, and its just all too much..

I'd rather fly United or American than the Greyhound bus of the skies known as Delta, Southwest or Frontier...
