    This is brilliant timing. I read this sitting at the gate for a short hall flight. There was still a lot of time before the flight and they announced “can Anna something please come to the desk”, and about 40 people (I counted as had so much time still) stood up and rushed to queue up and then had to stand up for another 30 minutes until it actually started boarding…

    It was a cheap airline so overhead space can be difficult but I really don’t get the people who rush to sit down in the tight horrible seats (designated seating btw) waiting for everyone else to sit.

    We arrived and then the picture happened of course…

      You answered your own question. I can’t remember the last flight I had that didn’t announce that they were going to need to check some people’s carry-ons. As someone that purposefully avoids letting the TSA manhandle my luggage, I’m going to do what I can to avoid that.

        For a while now here in Europe, they charge more for bags that don’t fit under the seat and let you check in one bag for free you used to be able to take on the flight so unless most people are paying extra for that, which I wouldn’t believe would be the case if they’re flying these cheap airlines, I don’t think that is the issue
