What you are telling me is that people in first class are entitled to bin space. |
No, am telling you that the airline is telling you that. There is no guarantee for overhead space. All they are guaranteeing you is that if you are allowed a carry on for no charge/x fee you will get a carryon for no charge/x fee. You may be able to carry it on flight but they may be able to put it below. |
Damn skippy! |
| On most airlines you are allowed one carry-on(small rolled) and one bag under your seat. How come in each flight they ask for additional passengers to give up their bag? They do not have enough room. I'm tired of feeling stressed out each time I fly. And I'm not afraid to fly. It is the extra BS we as flyers put up with needs to end. |
They paid for that space, so yes. |
Solution: have a single personal item small enough to fit under your seat. Check the rest. That's what I do. I just take a small backpack that holds my laptop and some papers and that's it. Yes, there is a fee to check bags, but you can get around that many ways like if you book with an airline credit card that offers free bags; or if you fly a lot and have elite status; or have a credit card the reimburses those fees;...or just suck up the $25. Or fly Southwest (free checked bags for everyone) |
| This is why I fly SW or Jet Blue whenever remotely feasible. I will only fly a legacy if the savings is BIG or the route doesn’t exist with SW/JB, and even then I’m silently bitching the whole time. |
