Surprised no one mentioned this, but carry-on bags are no longer free for all - only free for the first ones in line.
People who use up more than their third of the locker, forcing others out of their own space are subhuman.
I donno, I think airlines that cram in more seats without increasing overhead storage are subhuman.
why not both?
Cause it shouldn't be the customers responsibility to accommodate other customers, it's the airline's responsibility.
Ah yeah I do agree with that. I was partially referencing the meme, but also there’s those kind of people who would inconsiderately take up others’ space until the airline made them move. There’s enough to be annoyed at both! :P
True, agreed!
Because passangers neither have control over locker size nor knowledge of it.
Both. Both is good.
The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don't be surprised when your plane's "full" overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.
Oh no I'm literally just talking about when I go to stow my suitcase and some goober with 3 suitcases has filled his entire row and is now cramping mine. You're not special. Check your damn luggage and wait on the carousel like the rest of us!
Lol hadn't thought of it, but not surprised.
Really? I haven't flown in awhile but I always thought if your carry on doesn't fit they will check it for you. Has that changed? Could be different for each airline.
Yep, you're right. If you don't want your carry on checked, then be in the front of the line.
