I mean, I feel like that depends. If your bag is too heavy for you because you’re injured (sprained wrist, pulled back muscles, etc) then I’m sure people would be willing to help you out.
If it’s too heavy because you have to take five pairs of shoes, a hairdryer, and a bowling ball to site each week then maybe yeah check that bad boy. Just a thought.
No.
5’1” here, breast cancer survivor— I can’t get my bag up by myself on 80% of flights due to my height and/or my lack of mobility on my cancer side— and that’s why I check it.
Once had an older guy board with the FA carrying his bag. He said it was too heavy for him to carry so he had enlisted unsuspecting strangers throughout the airport to get it to and from our plane (bag had no wheels). As much as I like to help older folks, I think that’s unfair to others and should be a checked bag.
If the overhead bins are not accessible for the vertically challenged like myself, should I get priority boarding or special service to make it equitable for me to store my baggage on board?
Lot of things to factor but I would say generally you should be able to lift it into the overhead and if not, check it. Exceptions: elderly, medical/injury, and being too short to reach it. But if that’s the case, I would pack one bag for checking and a small bag for bringing on board that you can easily lift.
