Do what Peter Greenberg does:

NEVER check your bags.

There are only two kinds of airline baggage: carry-on and lost. Courier your bags by using Fedex, UPS, DHL or any one of 15 other door-to-door delivery services. Not only will you save an average of 90 minutes of your life every time you fly, but when things go wrong at the airport, not having bags will allow you to keep all options open with other airlines. Not checking bags is your first line of defense in giving you a backup flight plan.
