That aside, show up when it is your turn to board and then people can coordinate together as needed.
Agreed. If you arrive later and your crap doesn’t fit under the space directly in front of your seat, you’re SOL. Sorry, but sucks to suck. Complaint should be with AS for the awkward configuration to begin with, but it’s hardly the other customer’s problem and if you’re going to drop to such low levels as to berate the other customer for getting there first, you deserve to be inconvenienced.
