What's the benefit of giving up your bag to get early boarding? I thought the main reason to be one of the first to get onboard is to have overhead space for your huge roller bag. If you don't have one, why be in your seat early, if you're going to spend several more hours in it anyway? And potentially be delayed at the luggage carousel after landing?
