Exactly right. Keep in mind though that occasionally someone from coach will slip a bag up there without us noticing. If we see it we'll say something if we don't we're not going to make a federal case over it. Bottom line, if you board late in the game, whether by your own choice or not, you run the risk of having to put your bag in the back -- or in the belly.
