I'm crew and Emirates tolerates a lot and the baggage allowance is very generous in comparison to the worlds standard. Most of you expect the CREW to literally lift those bags and stow them for you , really ? And some of you in J class think just because the allowance is bigger that means you can pack up your lawn mowers and expect the CREW again to stow it for you !!! YOU PACK IT YOU LIFT IT YOURSELF !

Have you ever thought of what would happen if God forbid we had an emergency and all those hatrack opened and you find yourself stuck under your overweight and multiple pieces of luggage that you brought onboard ???

Please travel light in the cabin !
