[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all about overhead storage bins.[/quote]

Also, let me clear: if I get on a plane after you and your ridiculously large bag is over my seat, I am moving it elsewhere to make room for my bag.[/quote]
LOL sure you are buddy.  [/quote]

I do it all the time. Or I tell a flight attendant to gate check it to make room for mine. Just did that on Tuesday heading up to NY.[/quote]

Absolutely do not believe you. [/quote]

That’s fine. But it’s true. I have seen others do it too.[b] I have directed flight attendants to move bags, [/b]especially if their owners are sitting back several rows. [/quote]

Flight attendants are not bellhops.  You can tell them to move bags around to your heart's content but there's zero chance they'd do it.[/quote]

Must be something about the way I make my wishes known (which is calmly and authoritatively but no nonsense) but they have always followed my directions In this regard. About half the time they just gate-check the bag. [/quote]

Why would you do that to someone?  Maybe there is no space at their seat so they are putting it in where they can?  There’s no reserved overhead bin space.  You are causing someone a lot of extra time for something they didn’t do wrong.  First come first served.[/quote]

This person is making stuff up. I fly about once a week and have never seen this happen. Occasionally the FAs will try to consolidate bags so they can squeeze one more in, but you don't have a right to the space over your seat. For one thing there are three seats in the row and rarely space for three bags (unless it's one of the new planes where you can stand the bags on their side). So only 1-2 of the 3 is going to get that space. The bag moving PP is just a complete douche and will for sure be in one of those viral travel videos soon.[/quote]

Clearly Mr Authoritarian is lying about the bag he’s checking and banking on hope that owner isn’t nearby. Could go south quickly for him. [/quote]
