It looks like it's not costing anything, since they're targeting leisure (infrequent) travelers.
I'm glad they're testing this. Considering it's airline checked baggage fees that really inflates the need for overhead space, airlines need to do something.
You bring up an interesting point. I'm sure some folks would be willing to pay to have their bag stored, guaranteed above their seat.
Furthermore, I think it would be a great value-add for the Sky Club. I'd love to give them my rollaboard, knowing it'd be valet delivered above my seat before I arrive at the gate. I could spend an extra 15 minutes or so in the Club, not taking up space at the already cramped gate.
