Absolutely right. I am amazed at the sheer bile and angst these poor innocent labels get. I mean I do think it should be the other way around (locker bags labelled), and if there was nice shiny status labels or labels shouting "DoYouKnowIAmInClubEurope" then we would soon be groaning with complaints about them not being applied.
I think the problem is that the yellow tag means two things.
1) the bag is guaranteed to stay in the cabin
2) the bag shoud be put under the seat in front
Not the second point, this doesn't seem confusing to me, but it does to others. Ideally it should be under the seat in front of you. But not in the following cases:
- exit row
- row 1 and bulkheads
- if it won't fit
- it it impedes access
- if - as is often the case - it turns out that there is plenty of space in the locker! The best thing to do is to put it in last, on top of other items if necessary, as the lockers close up, then it will be first out too. Simples, as the kids say.
