I've got to say, I'd tend to agree. And also, hasn't getting on the aircraft and actually having enough space to store your hand baggage been such a nice feeling? My past few flights, we've boarded and been ready to go about 10 mins before push back time (and then had to wait 20 mins for the obligatory missing passenger luggage to be off-loaded
