. . . Earlier this week I saw someone taking on four (yes four!) pieces - a carry on, a personal item, a purse and a shopping bag. That really needs to stop. . .
Agree.
Similar situation - ATL-SNA 12/31. Young woman (aisle) with two coats, back-pack, large travel tote and food. She seemed clueless where to put it all. I was surprised FA didn't see the tote at her feet (not under the seat).
Plane was packed Holiday & end of IRROPS so figured crew were just trying to
get the plane in the air.
Seriously, can't backpacks be checked?
