I usually travel AA DL or JB and have read of people getting to their seats to find the overhead space over their seat taken. Often times ,this appears to be space taken up by people seated several rows away.

I know its all too easy to say it’s just common courtesy but it is. Its only reasonable that people seated in a row have access to the space above them.


So my question is, to what length do FA’s enforce this unwritten rule? I mean Fas have far more serious issues to tend to. But if you find luggage in the space above your seat without a pax nearby, do you alert the FA? Or move the bag? Or just get disgruntled about it?
