11.15.19 Carry-on bag warning; Clark Stinks

b'Many fly only during the holiday period near the end of the year. Airlines gouge you on checking a bag, so many bring carry on bags. Airlines quickly run out of overhead bin space during boarding so \\u2013 gate check -\\xa0they seize and tag some of them at the gate. If you put everything important in your carry on, once it becomes a checked bag, airlines don\\u2019t cover anything of value. You are vulnerable to having things disappear with no compensation. If you do carry on, have a personal item that will fit under the seat in front of you, that will not be seized at the runway. That way you can keep your meds, jewelry, electronics and anything you valuable to you. If your bag is seized at the jetway, you only have to worry about losing clothing. If there\\u2019s a dishonest person, don\\u2019t tempt them with anything of value.\\n\\nChrista reads listener posts about how Clark has missed the mark in his advice this week.
