It was clear between the Agents that there was some kind of Tally going on. I suspect they had a target amount of bags that they needed to check for the flight.... But I am sure someone more experienced here will know about things like that.
But not surprisingly....... there was room above my seat.
All benefit of of being in row 1 to get off quick and max out the time in BCN was lost.
BCN luggage is notoriously slow coming up to the belt!
