Nothing beats boarding as the door’s about to close and still having a spot to put my bag, and this is my typical approach when flying on widebodies.
I don’t need to sit on a plane longer than necessary.
I agree. It is all about the overhead space. Last week, a late in bound turned my connection into 10 minutes. When I got to the gate, they were done boarding and had offloaded me. They quickly reloaded me and sent me onto the plane. When I walked on board, the SD walked over to my seat and opened the overhead bin. She had saved room for my carry on. To me, that was great service for a perfectly timed connection.
