That's irrational but human. I don't understand why gate agents don't board zones by window seat & smallest bags first. -- nm - Max Sep 11, 07:18 3
- It would be most efficient but splits up parties at the gate and people hate that. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 07:25 1
  - They'll be seated together that much sooner under my 'leave your personal baggage behind' incentive system. - Max Sep 11, 12:02
- I've wondered that too. Zone one should be the back 8 rows and the next window seats coming forward. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 07:20
the only reason is limited overhead space. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 06:05
Sounds like you had a great trip. Really enjoyed the travelogue. -- nm - spamlet Sep 11, 05:31 1
- Yes, very much so! -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 05:32
Get that overhead space! -- nm - mafic Sep 11, 05:07 3
- Yep. So many people don't follow the carryon rules. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 06:41 2
  - Yeah, I have had them be forced to put my carry on in with the luggage due to no more overhead space. Sucked, as I had no checked luggage. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 07:55
  - including the airlines. i put it on the airlines for zero enforcement. i meticulously measure my bag and make sure it's the right size. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 07:09
Stay tuned later for, why don’t people just take three steps back from baggage claim and only move forward when their bag is there? -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 04:25 2
- *this* one is the worst. you do not need to be pressed up against the conveyer. Really, you do not. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 06:06 1
  - agreed -- nm - JaxSean Sep 11, 06:23
