[quote=Anonymous]Last summer we travelled to a popular destination and the flight was full. We were at the beginning of “main” boarding, and when there were about five groups ahead of us they suddenly announced they were going to start checking bags because “the flight is full and to expedite boarding”. NOT because of weight and balance. And, as we found out once we boarded and were met with wide open bins, NOT because of the bins being full. They just wanted to board us quickly, apparently. At that point it was too late to go back and retrieve my carry-on, and I was even more annoyed later when it took forever for the bags to make it to the conveyer at our destination when I had paid extra to be “main” vs “economy”. In hindsight I could have made a fuss and demanded the difference returned to me, but I digress.

We are headed back in a couple days and I’m already anticipating the same thing happening. What happens if I just carry-on anyway and find that there are no bins this time? [/quote]
