This X10 at baggage claim. If everyone would stand 20 feet back, then just walk up when you see your bag, it would work beautifully for everyone. But everyone crowds the belt, and you have to push through when you see your bag..which I do, because if you are blocking everyone's way unnecessarily, I don't owe you a lot of courtesy when my bag is there in you are in the way.ramblin_ag02 said:
Pet peeve #2 is people that stand in the boarding line even when their group is not boarding and just sort of stop a foot before the person takes their ticket and waits for their group to get called. Seems like every flight I'm wading through a crowd, then having to go around several people ahead of me in line when my group gets called.
I think most airlines already charge more for carry on then they do for a checked bag.DannyDuberstein said:
It would be interesting to see what would happen if they flip-flopped the check bag vs. carryon price model to where OH bin carryon were $30-50 and 1-2 checked were free. More luggage to handle, but the speed in turning the planes should improve significantly.
Middle seat always gets two armrests.Bluecat_Aggie94 said:
For the "it's designed to recline, so it's not inconsiderate" crowd...
The armrests are designed to rest your arms. So are you saying it's not inconsiderate to hog them, because you know well they don't make them so that every seat has two.

The seats are made to recline. Instructions are given on when to and when not to recline, for safety reasons. It is expected that passengers will recline and the pilots announce when cruising altitude is reached and explicitly tell you it's ok to do so. Every airline has more legroom/space options. If you complain or get upset about someone reclining in front of you, you're a selfish *****, period. If it bothers you even to the point where you're annoyed with the person in front of you, let alone dare to say anything, or push/punch their seat, that's your damn problem and you should have picked a seat with space. This isn't really a debate, it's whiny dicks just finding something else to ***** about.

Also the bold part is just false, as a weekly flyer, it happens maybe 20% of the time.
False I always recline and will continue to do so. Thankfully I don't let whiners on the Internet dictate my actions.
Bingo. I only travel with a carryon sized backpack. It rarely goes under the seat in front of me. I'll be damned if people are going to steal overhead space I'm just as entitled to because they brought a larger bag than me.DannyDuberstein said:
I'm with you. For most of my work trips (which tend to max out at 2-3 days), I started using a tactical backpack to pack everything. I can fit all my clothes + my work/laptop. It's easier for me to haul ass through an airport with it than a roller and something I can squeeze into a tighter spot in a pinch. But I'm putting that thing in the OH bin almost every time. Being able to pack all my belongings more efficiently than others doesnt mean I have to give up a ton of my legroom by trying to jam it on the floor in front of me. That's bullsh. I'm following the rules and taking up less space than most

I've probably flown 200 legs over the last ten years but I don't actually even know how to recline the seat.
How in the F would you even know, you get up and walk around to take a head count?SoupNazi2001 said:The Lost said:SoupNazi2001 said:The Lost said:I think someone else is coming off as a whiny dick heresmudge14255 said:

Idgaf if you do, especially right when they say too, you're just definitely an outlier
Disagree completely, I fly a lot and see more people recline than not.
I've noticed it less and less. I only get reclined on in long haul flights these days. Which is absolutely ok due to a multitude of factors.cruzdoggie said:
I would say about 1 in 10 flights someone reclines on me so it's not that prevalent. It seems like airlines could make the seats thinner and add a bit of a recline and everyone could be happy.
