[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]***What do you do in this scenario?

You are in the aisle seat in row 8. You stood up  in the aisle and are patiently waiting with your small carry on (which you kept under your seat).

Everyone in front starts exiting and you move forward — and then the woman in the aisle seat ahead of you jumps up and steps out into the aisle.

Naturally, you pause.

But then she says, “My carryon is in the overhead a few rows back.”

Her expectation was that everyone already standing in the aisle for 3+ rows would sit down so she could walk back and grab it.

I said, “Sorry, I think you’re going to need to wait until there’s space for you to walk back and grab it.”

She was clearly upset.

I walked by to exit as did everyone behind me.

The people who are sitting in the row where her luggage is know the FA had to place her bag there. They know it isn’t theirs. They know which bag she is probably referring to.
[b]So she, or you, ask the people in that row if they wouldn’t mind passing it up. [/b]

If it’s too big and heavy to pass up then I would let her squeeze in it to get it.

This is what has happened on flights I am on. Just try to be thoughtful and kind. How can you be helpful instead of constantly judging other people’s behavior?[/quote]

No.  I'm not taking down someone else's bag out of the overhead and passing it around the plane.  If you insist on carrying on and don't pay for a group where you will get the space above or near your seat, then you can wait a few minutes to move backwards to take your bag down.  If you're unwilling to do that, don't carry on a bag or pay for an early boarding group. [/quote]
