We never check bags.  Even when we were gone for 30 days last year, we both took one carry on and one backpack each for all our things. We did laundry twice during the trip.  I just don't trust the airlines not to lose our baggage and I hate waiting to get my baggage after the flight.
not many bags are lost
the wait at baggage is usually 10 minutes or so

Yeah I don't mind checking bags.  The wait is rarely THAT long and the only time the airline has ever lost my bag was my first trip to France, 30 years ago.

And when I'm traveling with my i s c & a aggie wife, checking bags is the only option.  It can be a 2-day weekend trip and I'm still going to have to get out our personal baggage scale to make sure she didn't break 50 lbs.

Yep. For my wife it isn't so much the quantity of stuff she packs, it's that there's all sort of makeup, and she likes to have her own shampoo/conditioner brands rather than what the hotels supply, so there's liquids that either can't be checked or would be a PITA to pull out at security.

Knock on wood...I've never had a real issue with checking bags, nor waiting around at the baggage claim.

At "good" airports, my bags are usually circling the trolley before I get down to the baggage claim.  Grab'em and go.

Probably just jinxed myself --- flying out to SLC in the AM.  I am sure to have a lost bag now.

We check bags - we have top priority with AA, so they always come out first.

Have you traveled so much as to make Million Miler? 

I was about 1/3 of the way, but then COVID came and my job role changed, and I haven't really done any real business travel in 5 years. 

I've had a coworker who was at 1M, and another who was over 2M with American.

Not a million miler, but enough combined with the credit card that we get the top tier or second tier every year.

I think I'm at 450K miles. Doubt I'll get to a million.

Yeah, my one big year was the year that I crossed the Pacific multiple times. Those who were at 1M and 2M were crossing the Pacific multiple times a year for... many years.

My sophomore year in college we were playing at Northern Iowa. The entire team's bags were lost. They didn't show up until just before we left the hotel for the game. Somehow despite all that chaos we only lost by 1. The UNI Dome was an awful place to play.

you wouldn't be going directly through the core in order to connect SoCal with Asia.
