Locking Suitacse for the journey
In article ,
"PTRAVEL" wrote: "idkw" wrote in message om... "Miss L. Toe" wrote in message ... "zxcvar" wrote in message m... Greetings! I shall be taking a plane trip on middle of this month inside USA. Shall I lock the suitcase or keep it unlocked? With thanks. Why not do what most americans seem to do and take it all as hand luggage ? Then stuff it in the first available overhead space you see, miles away from you own seat. Last time I checked, overhead bins weren't assigned to any particular passenger. First come, first served. Arrive early to avoid disappointment you twit. Or is it ****? Of course, when passengers do what you do, everyone is disserved, as it requires passengers seated in the front battling their way to the back to stow their carryon and, then, when disembarking, swimming upstream to get it. Which is why, particularly when I fly in F, if the bins in the immediate vicinity are full, I'll ask, "to whom does this belong?" If I get no answer, I'll tell the FA and smile pleasantly while it is gate-checked. I mourn the death of courtesy and consideration in the U.S. I actually had some yo yo put his briefcase in my foot space [not the guy next to me] -- did the same thing 'oh Miss, [as I hauled the case to the aisle] - I fear that someone from the last flight must have forgotten this' when the guy in front of me jumped up and indicated that it was his and he was putting it under HIS seat, I blandly claimed my space for my stuff including my feet and left the FA to find him suitable space. |

Wow! I once had that happen to me, too. I can't, for the life of me, imagine what people are thinking when they do things like that. Good for you not putting up with it! |
