1. AC145 YYZ -> YYC
2. May 26, 9:50PM Edit: flight is delayed 10+ minutes. Partly due to..... oversized carry-ons!
3. N/A (checked in with concierge at LGA)
4. Agent and sizer were over by the regular entrance, so didn't really see them.
5. NEXUS
6. 2 carry-ons, a Tumi Alpha 2 International and an Ogio briefcase. Have been told by others that although the Tumi is nominally 0.25-0.5" too tall, it fits in the sizers. Certainly doesn't look too big. Briefcase is fine.
7. SE
8. J (upgraded)
9. Originated in LGA
10. No additional scrutiny at the gate. Who let on the guy with the gigantic backpack? No tag or tape measure needed to see it was clearly way too tall. GA should never have let him on, even pre-crackdown.
11. 320
Thankfully the FA was firm with him, told him to rearrange or it would be checked. He was rude to her, but complied. And now the bag fits without taking up 2 roll-aboards worth of space.
Also, should we be saying what the equipment was on the flight?
