A flight passenger who boarded a late-night flight out of Atlanta, Georgia, shared frustrations in regards to the baggage-related actions of some fellow flyers.
Posting within the “r/delta” Reddit discussion board with the title, “Another rant about carry-ons and personal items,” the person wrote to others, “Seriously, why have a ‘rule’ about one carry-on and one personal item when it’s rarely enforced.”
The person added, “I watch[ed] a person with two, what I would call, large roll bags and no personal items put both rollers in an overhead bin while an FA [flight attendant] watched him do it.”

The person then added, “[Since] I paid to check my bag, I figured I’d put my backpack above my seat and the same FA [then] tells me that I can’t do that.”
The individual continued, “I mention to the FA that we just watched a person put two rollers in the overhead and why is that OK. The FA ignores me, moves on.”

Reddit customers took to the feedback part to take a position in regards to the actions of the traveler with two suitcases, plus bag coverage habits.

“Just from a personal experience, I once was asked about my two roller bags and my backpack as I was going to my seat,” mentioned one person.
“I handle my mom’s luggage when she gets on a plane because she can’t. [So] it is very possible [this person was] doing the same.”
“Maybe you shouldn’t be trying to police others and [instead] should put your personal item under the seat in front of you where it [belongs],” one snarky person commented. (iStock)
One other person identified different points: “Let’s talk about the real problem: baggage fees. This is why everyone uses a carry-on now. Which in turn makes boarding and deplaning take waaaay longer.”
Mentioned yet one more individual, “Airlines need to start allowing a more generous checked baggage policy and start charging for carry-on luggage. That would solve several problems.”

One Redditor added, “I stopped traveling with a backpack because I got tired of having to sacrifice my legroom due to FAs screeching about backpacks going under the seat (even though it was usually my only carry-on).”
One snarky person advised the unique poster, “Maybe you shouldn’t be trying to police others, and [instead] should put your personal item under the seat in front of you where it [belongs].”
“I’m [a member of a] flight crew who frequently travels as a passenger on commercial airliners,” claimed one person.
The individual continued, “Rule of thumb is that if I’m not in uniform, I’m not allowed to bring more than the standard bag allowance for any passenger, whether crew or not.”
“If the flight is not full, oftentimes this rule is overlooked.”
Mentioned one other individual on Reddit, “If I only have one item, that’s my carry-on regardless of size, and I’m definitely putting it in the overhead and not under the seat in front of me.”
“I’m not sure why this passenger was not allowed to put her backpack in the overhead bin. That’s perfectly acceptable unless the bins are full,” mentioned Whitmore.

She added, “The airlines have a policy that passengers can take one bag (of a certain size) and a personal item onboard the plane. If the flight is not full, oftentimes this rule is overlooked.”
