The passengers behaving badly thread took a drift into the topic of overhead bin space and I was wondering what everyone else thought about this.
Passenger A has a 21 inch rollerboard and a backpack and plans to put the backpack under the seat - as they should.
Passenger B values their leg space and only brought a backpack and plans to use their allotted overhead bin space for the backpack.
The bins fill up and it looks like some bags may end up being gate checked. Should passenger B have to give up their legroom even though the backpack is taking up less bin space than the rollerboard? Is giving up the space the right thing to do so that other passengers don't get gate checked?
