Aside from personal disagreements, which could get the Thread locked ...
As a ‘regular user of Row 1 on s/h, and with no ability to stow my/our bags under the seat in front [as noted earlier], I do get somewhat irritated when seeking overhead space. It’s only our skill in boarding swiftly/efficiently within Group 1 that has [usually] ensured we don’t have to ‘swim against the tide’ when disembarking. You could be surprised to see how nimbly OAPs can move when there’ a need!
But it isn’t a Club Europe experience ... it’s all rather tacky.
