They don't want to carry any large luggage anymore.
On our flight from Sydney to Auckland to Los Angeles to Vancouver a couple days ago, we were each allowed ONE piece of checked luggage below the 62" total dimension (length + width + height) and within 23 kg ... and ONE piece of carry-on luggage within 7 kg. That was it.
A second piece of checked luggage would have cost $200.
A second piece of carry-on would have been taken from us and checked ... at $200.
