Under your seat is the default and overhead is for anything extra. No one said it had to be fair. It’s efficient.

i just had to get my small roller carry on force checked cause some backpacks had to go in the overhead bins… so no i don’t agree with this. if you only have a backpack, keep it under your seat pls it’s common courtesy. I didn’t ask to spend over 30 minutes waiting at baggage claim when ur allowed a bag and carry on :/

What if you bring a small handbag/bumbag and put that under the seat? Because ur not supposed to have anything on you for takeoff & landing.

Everyone gets to put one thing up there. If your one thing is your backpack, then you’re allowed to put it up there.

I think overhead bins should be assigned personally.

Space is limited. “Fairness” doesn’t always mean equal space for every person. There isn’t enough overhead for every person. You can still have legroom even with a backpack under the seat.

A purse / manbag / mini backpack counts as a personal item and takes up basically zero room of leg room. When they ask me why my backpack is up top, it's because my under the seat space is taken up by my personal item. Not my fault that the personal item is just a bag smaller than a shoe.

You too can bring a roller bag so you can utilize the overhead bin space . Knowing that the overhead bins are for roller bags, you choose to not bring one therefore you choose to not use that space

Apparently hotter take: they need to fucking enforce the “one carryon, one personal item” rule. I’m so sick of those people you described that bring a roller bag, backpack, bags from the stores in the airport, etc with them when they board. They’re always the entitled assholes that store ALL of that in the overhead and cause everyone else at the backend of boarding to have to gate check their things

Thank you! I feel the same way. My only carry on is my backpack and I want my leg room. I should be able to put my one bag up there.

depends on how your flight works. If your backpack is a carry on then yes you’re entitled to put it in the overhead bin but if it’s your “personal item” then you can kick rocks

It’s for carry on storage. If my carry on is a backpack, up it goes

….its because roller bags can’t fit under the seat while backpacks, purses etc. can. If everyone boards and there is still bin space, then use it

overhead is for carryon item under seat is for personal item. if your carry on is a backpack and your personal is a purse your backpack goes up, if your carry on is a roller and your personal is a backpack your roller goes up, also why I try not to be the last person on the plane so there's still room in the bins

It’s not to accommodate people who bring excess items, it’s because there isn’t enough bin space for everyone to even put one item

My backpack is my carryon. It goes up top

Because you decided to bring a personal item instead of a carry-on. Carry-on luggage go above and personal items go below. A backpack, purse, tote, etc are all personal items. There is not enough overhead bins for everyone to have a cary-on luggage.

I’ve never been bullied to put it under my seat. I put it overhead and no one tells me shit.

Agreed. I paid to check my bag. Why should I be unconfttsble because someone else didn't.

If you have two carryons put one in the overhead, if you have one put it in the overhead if you want. very simple.

That’s fine as long as you leave it up there. It makes me so mad when someone makes the whole row stand up so they can get the bag they stored overhead when there’s room for your bag with you
