[LMB] OT: overhead luggage

[Marty L. Adkins]

Christine Forber sayeth:

and thinks it's because people are carrying on too much luggage.  That may 
well be, but look again at the size of the bins.  Considering the size of 
one allowed carry-on, those bins that are supposed to be for 3 people, 
don't even have room for 2 pieces of luggage.  It's worse on the front 
row[s], where the bin that's supposed to do for 3 seats doesn't even have 
room for 1 [and that's not counting the micro-pillows and shawls {alleged 
"blankets"} that are stored there, too].

Mind, I'm not fond of every toddler having a hobbit-sized wheelie backpack 
or similar abuse.  I'm rather vain of being able to go to WorldCon for a 
whole week with just one piece of wheelie luggage for clothes, recording 
equipment, books, and all & tend to get disgruntled when there's not even 
room for that.
