You may stand when the "Seat belt" sign is not on (taking off, landing and turbulence). Recently I have seen over sized bags either checked or put near the stewardess (they didn't charge them). I only fly when I absolutely absolutely have to. But on the positive side the groping (TSA RANDOM security) is free if a person is into that sort of stuff. The only ones I saw checked were middle aged white males like myself.

I won’t fly unless there is a family emergency because of the profiling of white people, radiation, and arms-in-the-air-position-of-surrender (or a strip search).

When I did fly regularly, it always alarmed me the kind of people they would allow to sit in the exit rows. I am 6’1” and fit, speak English, and could push the door out (or in, whatever the case might be for that plane). And, help others out. Some of the people with canes, barely literate, or extremely overweight, I’m sorry, I don’t trust they could or would help.
