Of course, after about 60% of the UD pax put their bags in the closet, it does get full. But why tell everyone it's full to begin with ?

I have even seen FA's keep the curtains drawn to begin with (before any pax put their bags there), so that no one can see how empty it is.

For this reason alone, I travel LD.
