I don’t understand the people who close the bins after putting their bag up. It’s frustrating as heck for the rest of us, but I don’t see how they think it benefits them in any way. Is it just annoying other passengers for the LoLs, or do they think there’s some logic?
I mean, sometimes the bin is just full after you put your bag in and it’s obvious that it’s full (assuming no one put their bag flat when there’s room to put it on its side). Wouldn’t you want the bins closed after that as a visual cue to how much space is left when you board and get close to your seat?
I’m talking like these types of full. Do you really need a flight attendant’s professional determination about it?
I actually want them open as a visual clue that there’s no room. Far easier a truth to assess than seeing one closed and not knowing if someone was just being a dick.
Yes. Passengers are clearly untrustworthy. I almost never see the bins packed like that and usually people close when there is still room
The thing is that many “carryon” bags will not fit like that but it shouldnt matter. Even laying down there is usually room for three bags to match the number of seats.
Ive frequently see passengers close the bin when there are bags laying down the long way, wasting excess space whne there is clearly more room
It depends, sometimes better efficiency can be achieved if bags are shifted around and letting the attendants see them in a glance can help that process faster
