Overhead bin storage 747 upper deck
 

Does anyone know if a standard 22" roll aboard will fit in the overheads on the upper deck of a 747. Flying LAX-LHR in two weeks. Looks like CW upper deck is great. Just not sure bags will fit. Thanks.

They won't. Usually best to store them in the cupboard by the stairs.

henkybaby will be along soon, no doubt, with his picture proving that they do indeed fit in (if a bit squashed!) ;)

Well I flew Club World 2 years ago and took my 22" suitcase with me and it fitted just fine in the overhead bins on the upper deck. So you should be ok.

They do indeed. Without any squashing I might add.

There you go... :D

In my vast experience. ;)

Upper deck on BA = Yes.
Upper deck on QF = Yes
Upper deck LH = No

Does LH still store their spare surly attitude in the overheads, then?

Eh? :confused:

In my experience... Of baggage.

UK version of a 22" case will fit.
US version of a 22" case (which is overstuffed to the maximum with everything but the kitchen sink and expanded every which way it is possible) will not fit.

I was pleasantly surprised at how large the lockers were on the upper deck. It struck me as the lockers not being overly small, more as complainers having bags that are too big and in all reality probably should not be onboard the aircraft to begin with... But hey, thats just MY opinion...

I assume you mean a 22" case packed by an American, not a 22" case sold in the U.S. My TravelPro 22" fits just fine in the UD overheads.

I don't pack a sink; have you heard that our hotels offer them now? :D

BBB has hit the nail on the head. Length isn't the issue; it's width and depth. This American's 22" case fits quite easily because it is svelte and definitely not overstuffed. (Which is more than can be said for its owner! :eek::o:D )

I'm amazed at the size of some peoples carry-on bags....they're massive and make mine look very puny.

HIDDY dear chap... we are talking about bags here... Leave your personal insecurities at the door...

It was one of those things called a joke - I'm not sure whether you have them in Argentina?

I was insinuating that, due to Lufthansa cabin crew's reputation for surliness, that this was in some way stored on the aircraft in the overhead lockers, therefore taking up space (yes, I was pretending that surliness is a physical object), thus making it impossible to store a rollaboard in the overhead locker.

It must be past your bed time, HIDDY ;)

:eek:

I see...been on the wine gums again have you?

I've found LH crew to be quite pleasant. Of course, I'm not a demanding passenger....did you have a problem with them? ;)
