It didn't take long for new rules to be issued. Fox reporting that all passengers are now required to remain seated beginning one hour before landing with nothing on their laps and no access to overhead compartments. Of course, if your flight is only 1 to 1.5 hours long as many are, you essentially are a prisoner. Wonder if they will issue depends to passengers who have too many cups of coffee while waiting to go through security.
Flights between NYC & DC have been subject to the “no getting up” rule for a long time already.
