[/quote]

Which is why OP wrote “barring disability.” Perhaps you have a comprehension disorder?[/quote]

How would they know?  Not all disabilities and health issues are visible.  How would you know I carry two portable nebulizer, extra parts, medications and more?  Expraclothing as things get bad….[/quote]

If it doesn't apply to you, leave it. Honestly, you're upset about something that has nothing to do with you. [b]Why are you centering yourself in this discussion? Are you always such a narcissist? [/b][/quote]

Aren’t you the person who thinks kids should go without changes of clothes, the elderly should go without CPAP machines, and everyone too short to reach overheads should pay $50 and wait 45 minutes for checked bags…just so you can board 10 minutes faster?

Just want to see where the accusations of narcissim are coming from. [/quote]

I think everyone wants boarding to go faster. It’s just that the people who are the holdup don’t recognize that they’re the problem. Now you know. You’re welcome.[/quote]

I am willing to wait a few moments longer to get on a plane, which will sit on the tarmac regardless, in order for someone else to be able to have their medical equipment, clothes, or other items. I’m surprised to find that makes me so uniquely good of a person.[/quote]

What about people who have tight connections and are traveling for an emergency? Should they have to wait and potentially miss a flight because you simply must bring 3 pairs of clothes that you can't lift?[/quote]

Seems like they should be the first people to offer to assist anyone who seems to be struggling, then. [/quote]

Should they have to announce to everyone that they are available and risk injury? Interesting that everyone but the person with the bag they can't manage needs to be inconvenienced.[/quote]

Fly private if you don’t wish to be inconvenienced by the needs of other passengers. Your tight connection isn’t more important than an elderly persons CPAP machine or an infants formula.[/quote].

Same to you. Sounds like you need a personal attendant. Commercial is not for everyone.[/quote]

I have never struggled to get my items stowed, either on my own or with assistance. Nor do I begrudge other passengers the time to store their items, which they’re entitled to do. You’re the one struggling to make your connections, so if you can’t afford private perhaps you need to plan better so this doesn’t cause you so much anxiety.

That’s nice but has nothing to do with airline policy. If you can’t find room for your bags they will gate check them for you.[/quote]

This thread is about lifting the bags, which airline policy does not require.[/quote]

But if nobody will help you and all the space is gone they will gate check it. That’s a risk you take knowingly bringing a bag on you can’t manage.[/quote]
