When I questioned this, I was told by the flight attendant that it’s a “company policy.” Never had this happen before in dozens of similar flights.
I know this is a first world issue but strange…
If you have a true regional aircraft rollaboard (16” or so), and you retract the handle before reaching the GA, and and carry it like it was a briefcase, most times they won’t notice. I purchased a Travelpro 16” just for these instances. Unfortunately, it’s only good for an overnight trip. Doesn’t hold much.
