Flight was to AGP
Exact same happened to me last week to MAD... I was not in 1A but in 3C I recall, still J.
Sometimes they need to look their manners and check what type of passenger is she talking to, of course no excuses if the bag exceeds the dimensions, but if not and you fly business and or are group 1 or 2 they should not challenge the bags.
