Let's eliminate IATA's "CabinOK" program!

First, they came for our free checked baggage. And now, airlines may be zeroing in on our carry-ons.

The International Air Transport Association, a trade association for air travel companies that include airlines and aircraft manufacturers, announced a new guideline on Tuesday that recommends smaller carry-on size limits, so that overhead bins will become less crowded.

Under current regulations, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines allow carry-on bags up to 22 inches by 14 inches by nine inches. The new guideline, however, wants to reduce the "optimal" size of carry-on bags to 21.5 inches by 13.5 inches by 7.5 inches.

If the new guidelines are implemented, travelers may need to bring smaller bags, buy new carry-on bags, or pay to check their suitcases.

Travelers will need to re-think their packing strategy as a result of IATA's CabinOK guidelines.

My carry on fits fine in every overhead bin I have ever used. Why change it now?

Enough with the nickel and diming. My current bag works fine and I am not buying a new one just for their math.

So basically they want us to pay to check everything now. Not interested.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Airlines already make enough money off us without forcing us to re-buy all our luggage.
