Airlines

I stopped checking luggage long ago.
With today's baggage fees and the handling of your luggage you are better off to ship your stuff UPS to your destination if you have the time and extra duds.

yep, and Southwest is the only airline left that lets you check bags for free, but by the time you drive to birmingham or nashville it pretty much makes up for the fees in gas.

Why not file a complaint?

I've flown out of Muscle Shoals the last few times and really like it. Parking is chah-eap, but since it's practically in my backyard, I just have someone drop me off & pick me up. That, along with less gas money involved, means no price difference in comparison to flying from Huntsville, Nashville or Birmingham. I also love being home when I land also...no long drive after the flight(s).

I try to fit all I need in a carry-on whenever possible, stopping at a Walmart upon arrival to get toiletries. I roll my clothes, which makes them less wrinkled, and choose clothes that travel well & don't take up much room.

I like you I hate to checkmy bag and think the fees are a joke. Youu can buy a TSA lock that the TSA can open for your bag.http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/locks.shtm

I filed a compalint with the airline and TSA on Monday but they havent emailed me back yet.
