I think it will slow down boarding TBH

but they probably got complaints from people like me (I did not complain, but.....) who had status in OneWorld and were at the back of the scrum queue.

I'd rather board near the end, I hate sitting there for half an hour waiting for everyone else. -- nm - LMS Nov 20, 06:40 13
- I need my overhead space! - ty97 Nov 20, 06:42
- That was always my thought but people seem to think there's a chance they could run out of overheard space for bags. - Krusty Nov 20, 06:42 4
  - In the US, it WILL happen. - ty97 Nov 20, 06:46
  - Happens all the time these days if the flight is anywhere near full. - znufrii Nov 20, 06:44
  - Better than a chance. A very good likelihood. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:43 1
    - Ever since they started charging checked bag fees, yup. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 20, 06:46
- The people that push to the front of the scrum are also the people with 15 carryons that take all the space. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:41 6
  - Exactly. And constantly thinking "I have to beat those scumbags to the front of the queue so I can get the small amount of overhead space I need" - Roger More Nov 20, 07:15
  - I don't fly so I'm ignorant on the issues but isn't there a limit to the number of carry on bags and their size? -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:46 4
    - I'll add another 'but'. It's within the limit and normal to have a carry-on suitcase + a large hand-held bag + (in winter) a big coat and - Roger More Nov 20, 07:20
    - Yes but it's completely unenforced by the airlines. - spamlet Nov 20, 06:47 1
      - It's really the gate agents job to police. I've seen a few do it, but not many. - ty97 Nov 20, 06:50
    - Yes, but enforcement varies. And even if everyone follows the rules... - ty97 Nov 20, 06:47
