Ahhhh, got it. thanks
I've never had trouble NOT taking liquids out of my bag. Not once, and that's domestic, TB and intl!
2- Occasionally, I have a few extra liquids in my carry on. If this happens, I just put one bag of liquids in a bin with my coat, and the second bag in a bin with my belt, phone, and watch. Nobody ever cares.
These two points do make my travel easier and more comfortable, but at the end of the day, there is nothing easy or comfortable about years of Elite status earned by segments, mainly on AC express!

Hmm. I carry quite a bit in my carry on bag. Deodorant, shampoo, hand lotion, body wash, toothpaste, lip balm...like quite a lot. (completely stuffed mid size zip lock bag). I added Biofreeze (quite a large bottle but not against regs) yesterday, will report back if that becomes a tipping point on my flight next week ^

I added a key ring onto the top of my 21" roller and another on the loop of my QC15 case. I then connect the rings using a lockable carabiner. This way I save room in my carry on and the headphones are easily accessible when boarding.

Another knee and space saving hack. If you are working on laptop with meal tray folded down. stick half thickness of the enRoute magazine between the tray legs and the seat infront. In most cases this will prevent the person infront from reclining and will also save your laptop screen from getting crushed if the person in front explosively reclines.

It won't stop me from trying to recline, and when the pressure of me forcing the seat back jolts the magazine out of place and the sudden recline cracks your laptop... I won't be paying for it.

Appreciate knowing this. If I ever can't recline now I know where to look behind me to fix the issue. I am assuming an FA would look after the offender immediately if they don't voluntarily remove their impromptu seat recline blocking device.

It's a magazine. I choose to put it there. How is that against the law/rule?

Roughly equivalent to me turning your light off whenever you turned it on because it annoyed me.
If you want more space, there are seats that offer it.

I'm considerate, I won't recline during meal time and when I do recline it will be slowly so you don't spill your drink.

At 6 feet, I love my recline just like the next guy, but I try to treat others nicely, especially with the ever increasing density of planes.
