There are few things more annoying than being forced to check your carry-on bag because a gate agent says there is no overhead bin space left, only to find plenty of space onboard. It’s time for gate agents to stop lying about this.
Flight delayed, fine whatever. They of course make the standard announcement that “it is a full flight and we will be enforcing checked bags after group X.”
They start the boarding process and quickly state that the overhead bin space is full. They start tagging everyone’s bag. The group of elderly folks in front of me makes a fuss because they are packing medications in their only carry on, rightfully so.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
