People who line up to be first to board Premium on the Delta shuttle 15 minutes before boarding starts - Why? You have a reserved seat. Do you just love work that much? Sit the eff down.

Carry on space is not reserved

You don't gate check on embraers. So yeah...overhead space is at a premium. There's a special place in hell for zone 1 peeps who sneak on with prem or sky. I really wish the gate agents would actually check

When I'm boarding a CRJ and there are a bunch of people interested in laying their jackets flat in the overhead bins, I'd like a chance to put my properly sized bag overhead before the dummies waste the overhead space. When it's a bigger plane with designated overhead space for comfort+ and above, I agree.

^👏 I've lately become the person that rearranges the overhead above her seat. I refuse to place my one small bag somewhere back how ever many rows behind. So if it's an airline that I have no status on, like Delta, I line up with the peeps.

If everybody sat the eff down, the whole system would work better.

I routinely see FAs telling non-first class people that they can't put their bags in the premium overhead. I've also seen FAs pull other bags and put them towards the back to make room for premium overhead bags. Further, the people lining up almost always are only carrying a briefcase.

like

Also, trolling non-status people can easily board ahead of premium on shuttles, when they usually call zone 1 about 30 seconds after premium, and the non status people are already shoving in.

What kind of shuttles are you on? For CRJs, rollies are gate checked so briefcases are the item that those guys want to put overhead and avoid keeping by their feet.

The emb145s I'm on you do gate check. They have 1-2 seating and assholes will put a shopping bag up there that forces you to put a duffel by your feet if you aren't quick. Agree with p1 on group 1 people acting like premium, except my wife. For the purpose of boarding order, I want the gate agent to treat my wife like a carry on.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
