Those sitting at the front were called last. When it was our turn to board (last) we found that all the overhead lockers were full and we had nowhere to put our carry on bags.
Ryanair limit it to one bag but Aer Lingus limit to one bag+duty free+ handbag+coat etc so the overhead compartments fill very quickly. Worse if your carry on bag has to go in the hold becuse the advantage of getting off the aircraft first and being through passport control is lost because you hhave to wait on your bag as if it was ordinary luggage.
Did they realise this cos all their names were Smith ? Ba dum tishI was in a queue of disgruntled passengers in Amsterdam who had to check in the various suitcases and anvil collections they were trying to pass off as hand luggage.
To be fair, I don't think this goes on in general. What if the destination has a front and back door open ? I would not be doing this meself for that reason.To see someone board the plane, place their suitcase in the locker at the front of the plane then head down to the back of the plane is very annoying.
It's a problem on City Jet as well, there planes are smaller and the overhead lockers on the seats in the middle of the plane are useless as they are about 5 inches high
