I get that it’s first come, first serve, but I do think the F experience would be much better if you didn’t have to stress about overhead space for a standard-sized rollaboard. Thankfully I usually manage to have a small backpack or nothing as my carryon, but for a business traveler it’s likely impossible not to have a rollaboard.
It would be a nice benefit if revenue F tickets came with guaranteed ability to stow at least one standard-sized rollaboard in the cabin.
Does DL or UA handle situations like this in a similar fashion?
