I am glad they are doing this. Too many folks want to skip the baggage fee yet the shit they carry on....they can’t carry. Then it takes forever to find room. Other folks, they just take their bags to the gate knowing damn well they won’t fit on the plane. Pay the baggage fee
I used to call them “baggage snipers!” They are they guys who are flying coach and board early so they can stow their stuff in the OH bins in First Class on their way through the cabin. Usually, the attendants are busy and don’t see them do it.
Yes, and it’s why people are so pushy trying to board first, they know all the bins will be taken up by too much $hit.
