If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote…check which sub you are in

    I don’t have your same concern about carry-ons. When I traveled for work a week at a time, it was nice that I could pack 5 days worth of clothes and take them with me without (usually) having to wait for 30+ minutes at the check in line and the bag carousel thereafter. The last thing you want to do when you are nearly back home after a long week of work and travel is to have to wait yet once more.

    What I do take issue with is the people who queue all the way out into the hallway when boarding. Especially when they’re in the last groups and the first groups are just being called. It’s definitely worse in some airports (looking at you, CLT and ATL).

    Or, all the people who immediately stand in the aisle when deboarding. Let those people who need to make their connections get up and out first.

    The way people handle themselves around airline travel (particularly in the US) is one of the only places that makes me lose faith in humanity.

      A lot of this is the fiasco of overhead bins. The airline says you can have one overhead item, the planes are sized to allow one overhead item, but if you’re toward the end you may not get one or may have to go up and down the aisle to find one

      Sure, let connections out, but some of us have to stand after suffering so long contorted in those cramped seats. We’re not rushing to get out but trying to ease the pain
