Right?
I like boarding last. Less time I spend in that fucking tube the better.
If I'm traveling without a carry on, yes, I wait until the whole line is clear before I board.
If I have a carry-on, I line up to board as soon as my zone is called. Too many times I boarded and found some assholes sitting all the way in the back have put their carry ons above my seats so they don't have to drag it, and I have to walk past my seat and be an asshole myself by putting my carry on above a seat that's not mine, wait until there's a break in boarding so I can make my way back to my seat, and wait for everyone to deboard before I can go back and grab my carry on.
I thought most airlines won't allow a carry-on that won't fit under your seat?
No that's the personal item a small bag that fits under the seat. A carry on is a slightly larger bag that goes in the overhead bin
If you're certain it belongs to someone sitting half an airplane away, take it down and leave it in the aisle. When the attendants come by, just shrug and say it's not yours.
As much as I'd like to imagine myself doing that, you're suggesting I take a bag out and put it on the floor (not knowing which one belongs to the asshole in question) and put mine in its place, and leave it in the isle where everyone behind me witnessing me doing it will be unable to finish boarding?
I imagine I'd be kicked off the plane...
I like being part of the last 10-15%, but not the last couple of people. The number of times I've been forced to check my backpack because "there's no more room in the overhead compartments" only to step in the plane and find plenty of room in the overhead compartments is too damn high.
That is my number one gripe, how the hell do those overhead compartments run out of space when everyone is limited to one carry on bag, aren’t the planes designed to hold the carrry on of every passenger, it’s usually some dickheads putting their personal item bags up there or the cabin crew not bothering to tell people to shift their bags sideways or actually checking if they are completely full or not
Yep, or I have seen staff heckling an old guy because the tip of his case wheels stuck outside of the sizing device, while some moron with a hockey bag sized duffel walks on and nobody days anything.
One flight was packed and so the host was asking everyone to turn their bag sideways in the overhead as we boarded, and while saying this over and over people still were laying them flat. I said "This must get old, it is like dealing with children." He said, "no it is worse, children listen, these adults don't."
I've been on flights where people have placed their bags in flat and sidewise then just closed the bin. Attendants then get upset when you open bins to check for space (even in cases where you saw there was space before someone closed it) because of course they are the only ones that close bins and they always check for space.
I've also been on flights where people have stood up to use the bathroom or adjust their bags while taxiing and then everyone has to wait on them wine the attendants just repeat on loop that they need to sit the fuck down.
The rules of planes just seem not to matter at all to some people and the rest of us have to suffer for it.
I don’t understand the people who close the bins after putting their bag up. It’s frustrating as heck for the rest of us, but I don’t see how they think it benefits them in any way. Is it just annoying other passengers for the LoLs, or do they think there’s some logic?
There is also the issue that airlines have been stuffing seats tighter and tighter. So more people without an increase in overhead compartment space.
One carry on, one personal item. A personal item can be a backpack. I don't remember the last time I checked a bag.
How big is your backpack where they’d make you check it?
Smaller than a roller bag. There just comes a time when boarding that airline staff just seem to say "fuck it, everything else goes on the hold."
What if you have stuff in your backpack that is not allowed in hold luggage (lithium batteries)?
You are supposed to take it out. Carry it with you or put it in the personal bag they assume you have.
The same thing they expect those who travel with roller bags that have to be checked under the same circumstances: take it out and make sure it fits under the seat in front of you.
All too often it’s an announcement like “boarding groups 7 and 8 must check their carryons”
I was more than once forced to gate check my guitar because the flight attendants didn't think any of the overhead bins were wide enough for the case. They were plenty wide.
Yeah, because those are meant to hold more than a single case taking up all the space.
Wouldn't a guitar take up like 3 or 4 people's worth of luggage space
Now we know why they keep running out of overhead bin space
I'm shocked everytime I fly that people want to board. Only advantage is not getting stuck in the middle of a 3-seater.
Most airlines assign seats. There are a few exceptions
Depends on if I’m trying to use the overhead bin. If I am, I want to be in quickly so I can use the one above me. Then I want to sit down, get my Steam Deck out, and disappear until the plane lands.
Plus the chairs and leg room at the gate give a much more comfortable sitting experience than in the plane.
I like boarding none! I haven’t been on a plane since 1977.
