Since travel–especially long trips–basically require luggage to be transported I truly believe it is misleading to not allow at least one piece of luggage as part of the trip. If all carriers were required to allow one bag included in the price then prices could be easily compared. Anything else is really false advertising. And this would hopefully minimize the incentive to overuse carry-on luggage to avoid a fee.
