So if this happened as stated, and you were only flying with 2 modest bags, then it's just down to a particularly eccentric member of cabin crew who you will have very little chance of flying with in the future.
I have to say – once the door is shut and all the passengers are seated, I will always remove any luggage from around my feet and place it into spare capacity in the bins overhead. I don’t need to be told that I can’t do this, or that I should be doing it. It is just so logical – that I do it. I’ve never been told off.
