[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sick of all the carryon luggage travelers with their giant roller bags. They delay boarding, they delay deboarding and they think they have the right to move my backpack out of the bin that was there first because, why? Their bag full of crap is more important than my bag full of crap?

I would fully fully support NO roller bags on board, period. I know this will never happen so instead I support a very large fee for carryon bags and a much smaller (comparatively) fee for checked bags. [/quote]

Because the airlines disagree with you and will routinely support the passengers with larger luggage and tell people they need to move their backpacks/smaller bags underneath their seats to make way for roller bags. I’m literally on a plane right now and watching them do so. [/quote]

As I said this is an easy problem to solve, just bring a small second bag to put under your seat and then your backpack can stay up top. Works every time. “Oh, sorry I already have a bag at my feet.” [/quote]

If your backpack is so large that it won’t fit under your seat along side a purse then you’re delaying boarding/taking up just as much space as the roller bag passengers you claim to hate. You sound like a hypocrite.[/quote]

I’m not that poster. I’m the “roller bag's don’t trump backpacks” poster. We all get one slot and I’m keeping mine. If you board late it’s not my problem. [/quote]

But we don’t actually all get one slot. That’s the problem. There’s not enough space for every single person to put something in the overhead.[/quote]

I’m not reading all 9 pages but I just want to say I’m also a “rollerbags don’t trump backpacks” person.

So what if there isn’t enough space for everyone to put something overhead— that doesn’t answer why you should get space over me if I’m willing to check my bag to have a more comfortable flight. [/quote]

I’m not answering your question, I’m refuting your assertion that everyone has an overhead slot. If they did have an assigned slot, this whole conversation wouldn’t be happening because there would be no need to race onto the plane to secure a spot overhead. [/quote]
