Another reason to fly GA...

I guess it depoends on what the airlines consider luggage. I don't
consider a carry-on bag luggage. IMHO, luggage is what gets checked.

Perhaps, but in the case of the person wanting to purchase a ticket within
two hours, I would speculate that having only a carry-on bag would be
considered luggage by the airline and the TSA. Thus, the ticket purchase
would be permitted.

The fundamental problem with this is that you can't return the bag
because it was checked.

I thought about that, but many business travelers do not check luggage.
So I didn't believe that the luggage would have to be checked.

flight has lost your luggage.

The rule was slipped in under pressure from the organization of vendors that
sell luggage at airports.

They must apply that selectively because that would put the BOS-LGA-DCA
shuttle out of business.

There hasn't been a BOS-LGA-DCA shuttle in decades.

Sarcasm, perhaps?

I flew the USAir Shuttle from LGA to BOS routinely during 1998-99.

Additionally, I just checked the USAirways schedule and they still offer
what appear to be shuttle flights hourly from/to BOS, DCA, and LGA. The
USAirways shuttle is an Airbus 319, has been since the late 90s.

Obviously I'm missing some sort of inside joke.
