Aww, poor thing. It must be so terrible sitting in an aisle seat. I don't know how you manage!!clonebucky said:
And, being an aisle rider, manage your fluid intake/outtake prior to buckling up if you're middle or window.

A trombone case usually takes up 1/2 to 2/3 of an overhead bin with a little space in front of it for purses or backpacks.

Learn how to properly stow your luggage in the overhead compartment. It varies by make and model but people (who are dumb) love to gently place 2 carry-ons flat down, head to toe style and then complain there's no more room when you could easily fit 2 or more bags up there, assuming it's a mainline sized plane.
This rule is more difficult on a CRJ plane or the smaller ERJs. Your fellow travelers would like to think there are no rules but they are wrong and cannot be trusted. Do not make eye contact but protect your (and your luggage's) ground.
Therefore, it should be checked baggage. If you're that worried about damage, invest in a better travel case.
So, an additional rule: don't bring carry-ons that exceed the listed dimensions for carry-on bags.
Musical instruments are a standard exception to carry-on size restrictions primarily due to their value.

Back before Covid I boarded a plane for flight from Shanghai back to the U.S. A couple with two teenage kids boards and sits one row up and across the aisle. The husband has a kitchen size garbage bag in his hand as he boards and he looks like he's sweating and flushed. I'm on the aisle seat so unfortunately I have a pretty good view of him. Over the next 5-10 minutes he starts looking much worse and he starts to sweat even more. And then the fireworks begin.713nervy said:
11. Do not board a plane if you are sick and you may still be contagious. Wear a mask if you have a cough.

They didn't instruct him to place the bag under the seat in front of him?

Don't put your small personal items in the overhead and force other people to check their carry on luggage when the overheads run out of room.
Up to a point. If I am carrying a backpack as my only carryon, it is going in the overhead bin. Normally if I am carrying a carryon bag and the backpack as my personal item, then I would stick the backpack under the seat in front of me. But if the backpack is my only item, it is my carryon, not my personal item.bam02 said:Cromagnum said:

The stewardesses should enforce this.

The reason it is out of control is that they are charging people for checked bags, causing people to have to stuff everything they own into a carryon and a "personal item and try to wedge it into the main cabin. If they gave everybody one free checked bag and then charged for the 2nd and beyond, the overhead bin situation would disappear. For every person who says "I won't ever trust them to get my checked bag there undamaged", there is at least one person who hates dragging all their bags through the airport with them and would gladly part with one as a checked bag if it didn't cost them $50+ per RT.bam02 said:
If you only have one item I agree you should be able to put it overhead. But they could easily enforce only allowing one item per person overhead. It's out of control.
Meh...looks more like one person declaring what they think the rules should be, and a bunch of people pointing out logical places where those rules should not be set in stone.jwoodmd said:

Glad you deleted the rest of that because I was about to disagree. Not to say that I don't still disagree, but there is less of your post to disagree with now.

Nope. I'm the authority and everyone has to abide.
