I think so because most of the time I need at least a carry-on on top of my personal item. Most budget airlines wouldn’t include carry-on, at least where I am. I’m also doing a light credit card churn for an airline points so at this point I won’t be saving that much going on a budget airline vs just using my points. You get better seats and better service.
Also had one bad experience on a budget airline that canceled and rescheduled a flight so many times that my husband and I lost 28 hours of our long weekend trip. Not worth the time wasted in my opinion.
I work from home and always tell my husband when I’m going out. He works from the office 1-2 days a week and is home other days. So depending on the day it’d take minutes or around dinner time. Although he’d probably text my phone and wait for hours before contacting others.
