I'm a crazy person who wishes for an airline offering flights with no overhead bins. Personal items only! This would make boarding and deplaning so much faster and more pleasant.
True it would make it work faster. This is also an underappreciated factor in what boarding order is most efficient. Because most time is spent putting luggage in overheard bins which blocks the aisle, boarding everyone from the same part of the plane is the worst you could do. Unfortunately that's exactly how just airlines board.
Do you always check you're luggage though or do you jl just always travel super light?
Exactly. People walk back and forth and put stuff out of order so the whole thing is very inefficient.
I just travel light. I can fit a laptop, toothbrush, phone charger, electric shaver, and a week or two of clothes in a backpack. I remember packing more when I was younger but I don't remember why.
That got me thinking. The usual seat arrangement is fine, you just have to turn it upside down. The chairs have to be on a raised floor, to store all the luggage under the sitting area!
As I recall, it was like that before they started charging for checked bags. Now, to save $20, tons of people who have no business lifting 30lb over their heads bring their big heavy bags on themselves and struggle to get them into overhead bins while everyone else is waiting to board.
