Here's something to think about
:
I was an early boarder on a recent flight. I checked one bag and carried on my laptop. I put my laptop in the overhead bin so that I could use my leg room.
The FA announces that the flight is full and that in order to be
polite passengers should put carry-ons that will fit under the seats, under those seats, so that those who have suitcases can use the overhead bins. I told the FA I would not move my laptop from the overhead bin being that the
polite people checked their suitcases instead of bringing them on board. Several of the other pax echoed this.
Just another perspective on the issue.
