And the ones who expect the flt attendants or other passengers to “help” them lift their overweight bags into the bin are worse. One of the downsides of gate checking your bag as opposed to carrying it on board with you is that you'll have to wait for your bag at baggage collection. Opinions expressed here are the author’s alone, and have not been reviewed, approved or otherwise endorsed by any of these entities. My original connecting flight was late departing, sat on tarmac for almost 4 hours before being cancelled and I was switched to another flight that was going to cause me to miss my connection in Denver that night.

Their generous baggage policy allows all passengers, regardless of fare types to check two bags for free.Almost all the time when I'm asked to check-in my carry on at the gate (usually due to lack of bulkhead space as flight is full), I'll just delare that my carry-on has high value items (my laptop etc) and some essential medication. Gate check bags for strollers and car seats are usually made of strong and light fabric, such as ballistic nylon that is waterproof and offers protection from the weather on the tarmac. Usually about 3/4s down the line they just make the standard announcement that they'll be checking bags without ever checking the overhead bin space left. Why did they make me hate check my bag and make more work for someone else and my trip more annoying now having to wait for a bag at the end instead of just letting me board with my bag.

In this post I wanted to talk a bit more about that, and also share some tips for avoiding having to gate check your bag.I told gate agent I needed my carry on because I'd end up overnighting in Denver and then on to Montrose the next day. There really is something wrong when you can't take compliant items, for which you paid as part of your ticket, on board. Unlike bags you check ahead of a flight, an airline will check any otherwise allowed carry-on bag at the gate for free, regardless of your fare type. The JL Childress Bright Red Gate Check Bag for Car Sears has been a go-to travel bag for parents for over a decade. The obvious tips are of course to not overpack, and to try to board as early as you can, since that addresses the two biggest reasons that bags have to be gate checked.

You might have limited yourself to a carry-on so you could waltz past the baggage claim at your destination, but on most planes, there's just not enough overhead bin space for every passenger. For example, Singapore Airlines limits passengers (including in premium cabins) to carry-on bags weighing up to 7kg (~15lbs). The bag is foldable and stows away in your pram easy making it perfect for local transport too, such as buses etc. Bravo for not baggage-checking your car seat but if you have a lap baby, still try to use it on board if there's an extra seat, since you're taking it to the gate anyway.

The dual, padded shoulder carry straps allow you to comfortably carry your car seat or stroller, making this truly a DELUXE gate check bag.

Oh, and to those poster that think there’s some Heidi hole in the plane for your bag there may not be! I had thought this time - if we were to carry on the 22 inchers - that our back packs would also be tucked in them which would add to the weight as well as the volume.

The check-in "person" gave me two options 1) re-book for a different flight or 2) Take my very large suitcase through security and have it gate checked. Eventually, your number will be up and you'll be stuck missing your bag/waiting an hour+ for luggage. Maybe it’s happened 2-3 times in 25+ years, since I only go to the check in counter when the reservation requires it for a document check. The gate-checked items are often only delivered to one door on bigger aircraft and if you go out the wrong one, you have to walk all the way around.
