Airlines crackdown on what passengers can carry on flights

I hope Linus doesn’t need to pay extra to board with his emotional support blanket.

Sees that everyone wants to push the limits and beyond... It is amazing what people carry on... A few years ago I know of a woman trying to take her pet snake on board! People are clueless now days and have no respect for others or the rules!

Well done. It's high time to limit carry-on abuse by passengers.

Now if we can only get rid of the "Emotional Support" horses....

NOW if we can teach them when your plane goes down don't spend an extra minute getting your luggage as the plane burns...GET OUT. I was watching several videos this weekend with planes burning and they are spending an extra few seconds/minutes getting their luggage.

Add a fee for any carryon that doesn’t fit under the seat, and give one free checked bag. Loading and unloading will be much faster. Less crap being shuffled onboard and less people trying to get their emotional support buzzard in the cabin.

They already have rules, but never enforce them. The little "check the size here" luggage rack sitting at the gate should be mandatory practice for everyone boarding the plane. You should only be allowed to put your bag in your own overhead bin... Common courtesy has been lost along the way. When they board the plane from the back first, no one should be allowed to drop their carry-on on the way down to their seat. Boarding from the front to the back nearly eliminates this issue, people don't go deeper in the plane than they have to, as it makes it harder to get off. It's not rocket science. The airlines just need to get it sorted out, because it is one of the most annoying parts of travelling. If you buy a bunch of breakable sh*t on your holiday, don't expect to be able to set it in your lap or my overhead bin. I had a guy (from a seat many rows back) once CRAM his bag into MY overhead bin, slamming $10,000 worth of my camera equipment around. I lost my mind (I am generally non-confrontational)... but don't touch my stuff.

It's too bad the airlines haven't figured out how to get passengers to check their nasty attitudes.
Maybe it's time to limit alcoholic beverages on the silver sausages soaring at 35,000 feet.

Will pets On-board be counted as carry-on? Why don't airlines do what they used to do, checked baggage as part of the price? I sit in amazement every time I fly seeing the size and weight of carry-on luggage. All airlines are interested in is PROFIT and not customer experience.

I don't get it having seen passengers "carry on" more luggage than I checked In for a flight. It creates problems boarding as these folks try to store luggage int he overhead bins.

I never understood if u have an assigned seat, that should be your spot for overhead storage? I believe the airlines do not enforce proper size carry ons.i have a carry on for JetBlue specs, then I see people with overhead carry on luggage that looks so big and overstuffed. What u all think?

It's about time.

Remember "Peoples Air"? If I am no mistaken some person tried to carry on a mattress.

The cost of airline tickets being so low, has only allowed for "The People of Wal-Mart" to fly these days. It has become akin to riding a Greyhound Bus from Detroit to Chicago! Yes I am old enough to remember when people would wear their Sunday best when flying as it was a real privilege and very special to fly. Now its flip-flops, daisy dukes, and tatted up folk, etc who think no rules of courtesy apply to them. Its a shame to experience what has happened to flying on many airline flights today.

I've never experienced any of this. I have my own aircraft.

I have 1 bag of luggage as Carryon (I usually do not check it and it fits in the overhead bin) and a laptop that I sometimes use on long flights!... I only Check my Tools if I am flying to work on a company plane, and since I now work a desk, that probably will not happen again.

“ Are You A Rider Or The Horse?” “ Horse Or A Rider?”
Well, The Two Cannot Separate.

Many Passengers were Angered by “ Some “ Airlines “ And simply left .
It’s impossible not to Have bags onboard. Crackdown on Passengers and The passengers will Crackdown on The Airline.

What Most Airlines Make more Money on “ Extra “ checked luggage over A $ Million Dollar per Year.


At Times “ Some Passengers “ Simply do not Know How To Manage or Understand Overhead Bins.

Overheads Are Shared Spaces .In Many Cases, Passengers Would Believe That a Seat is connected to The overheads Above .
One Would Find Jackets , Cameras And other Small Items That can be Stored under a seat . Many Other Passengers would Find Themselves without A Space .


We Must Admit, That Some Airlines Get Greedy for Revenue of Checked bags .

At Times , Some Airlines would let you Check bags “ For Free” When The Capacity of The Aircraft is Low .

The Weight And Balance is carefully Calculated:
“ passenger’s load, Fuel And Cargo “

In some Cases Ballasts are used for more Weight To Balance The Aircraft.

Other Carriers make More Money on Transport of Organs , equipments and other Heavy Machinery.

Yes!

Airlines should charge by pound or kilo for anything carried on the aircraft, to include passengers.

All these stupid "rules" just because the legacy carriers wanted to nickel and dime everyone like Spirit. Reminds me of Bob Crandall and his olives. I can't wait for extra fees to have a copilot onboard...

ABOUT TIME !

I have this fantasy where checked luggage is free and you need to pay for carry-on. Same limits apply, of course...

I believe the carry-on issue is getting worse, and it is increasingly responsible for departure delays and passenger altercations. The "size limit" should be reevaluated and then strictly enforced at the gate (not in the aisle).

It's not that hard to check a bloody suitcase. Either buy a full fare ticket that comes with a bag allowance, or buy a cheap ticket and pay for the bag. There's no such thing as "free. If an airline includes 1 or 2 checked bags in the price of the ticket, they'll just charge more for the ticket. Wayyy back when, "when flying was great" and checked bags were always included, flights cost much much more. More than a cheap ticket and 2 bag fees cost now.

Just for the heckuvit, I just looked up a bare bones coast-to-coast, round trip, nonstop flight (LAX-EWR) for $429 bucks. Wanna check two bags? Add $180 roundtrip, for a total of $609. Round trip, coast-to-coast. Wanna pick your seat, change your flight, etc.? Another $101, for $710 total. That's nothing compared to what it cost during the "Golden Age of Flying" we all love to reminisce about.

If you don't want to pay $710, well, there are options now that we didn't used to have - all the way down to $429. Don't complain about it.

I would rather spend $2000 and 3 days on Amtrak to go from East to west than be crammed into one of these utterly dysfunctional company’s metal tubes jammed full of idiots, morons, ignorant rude simians and psychopathic trumpanzees.

The airlines should have a sizer at the door to the jetway with two openings. One opening would be for carry on bags. If your bag can't fit through the opening it doesn't go in the cabin

The other opening should be for the passenger. Same rule applies.

Yes, please take the train, and tell all your wacko friends to also…….lol, your probably to dumb to realize your our countries problem!!
Thanks for taking the train!!
