People that put their backpack in the overhead bin when they repeatedly announce we are full and to only put rollerboards up. A-holes... that is all.

What if all I travel with is a backpack?

This is why I hate the airport. People lose all common decency.

If it fits in front of you, put it there. Might be saving somebody else a good bit of frustration, especially during the holiday season when bags get lost and chaos breaks out

Only in the US can a corporation guilt you into their made up rules so easily and get the victims as their enforcers. Space in front is for legs. FAA allows to carry one carry on and one personal item like a backpack. Yes we need to be considerate for others and try to use space as optimally possible but if the airline has no space for what FAA has mandated, then it’s not on me.

Plenty of status. Just observing from the front of the plane.

I put both my carry on and backpack in the over head bin. I figure common courtesy has gone out the window so why should I suffer.

You don’t have status with the airline, do you?

So if I bring a bigger bag to put in the overhead its ok....but my one backpack has to take up my leg room. I'm good saying I shouldn't hog two bags...but why should I loose my leg space because I use a backpack instead of small roller. Why is form factor the deciding factor?

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
