On the routes I usually fly, waiting at the carousel usually doesn’t add more than maybe 15 minutes. And I usually go to the bathroom and grab some food anyway.

It’s certainly preferred over the hell of trying to get my bags overhead, and also allows you to wait and be the last person on the plane, minimizing time crammed in a tiny seat.

The amount of cumulative time wasted because of stowing bags is immense.

The mean is low, but he variance is very high - if they lose your bag, you could be waiting for days!

I mostly fly direct domestic, so it’s basically impossible to lose my luggage.

Waiting at the carousel has never been 15 minutes for me. You must travel to tiny airports. I literally never seen an airport that's taken less than half an hour to deliver my bags.

SFO, JFK, SEA, and MCO (Orlando). Orlando is the smallest and also the slowest. Always direct, domestic flights.
