  • Check in or carry on? Amy Virshup, the Travel editor at The New York Times, and Christine Chung, a Times reporter covering consumer travel, have a debate.

The video from The New York Times titled "The Biggest Travel Debate: Check-In or Carry-On?" explores the ongoing debate among travelers about whether to check luggage or carry it on board. It features insights from various travelers, airline staff, and travel experts who discuss the pros and cons of each option. Key points include the convenience and time-saving aspect of carry-on luggage, which allows travelers to avoid waiting at baggage claim and reduces the risk of lost luggage. Conversely, checking bags can offer more space for packing, potentially saving money on baggage fees if included in the ticket price, and is often necessary for longer trips or when carrying items not allowed in the cabin. The video also touches on airline policies, the impact of carry-on luggage on boarding times, and personal anecdotes about experiences with both methods, ultimately suggesting that the best choice depends on individual travel needs, the length of the trip, and personal preferences regarding convenience versus cost and space.
