Continental announces a 'downsize' for carry-ons starting November 1

I actually disagree. While it certainly is part money grab, no doubt, I'm glad that airlines will be enforcing carry on rules. Ever since they started charging for checked luggage, people have been trying to get away with bigger and bigger carry on bags. I've actually missed connection flights due to delays from so many passengers having to check their luggage at the gate because it won't fit in the overhead bins.

I'm usually a carry on only traveler, too, and while it will be annoying to lose some of my allotted space, I think the rule is overall for the better. And it will cut down on fuel costs, because every little bit adds up.
