This Simple Mistake Is the Quickest Way to Annoy a Flight Attendant-and It Could Make Getting Off the Plane Slower, Too
""Please, please, please, for the love of all that is holy, put your wheels into the storage bins first. You just wheeled your bag from your house, into the street, over the airport floor, and through the bathroom. We often have to rearrange suitcases to create room on busier flights. Guess who has to touch all of your germ-ridden suitcases? We do.""
""Ultimately, we want handles facing out to also make the deplaning process smooth and easy for everyone. It's so much quicker to grab a built-in strap and deplane than struggling to pull a suitcase from its unstable and wheels-first base.""
""As overhead bins convert to drop-down spaces to maximize storage, it's also important to place bags sideways to create even more room for other luggage. I like to say 'hot dog, not hamburger-style,' like we learned with sheets of paper in elementary school.""
Flight attendants prefer passengers to store luggage wheels-first in overhead bins to reduce germ exposure and improve efficiency. This method allows for better organization and quicker deplaning. Overhead bins are designed to accommodate bags with wheels at the back, making it easier for crew members to handle luggage. Additionally, placing bags sideways maximizes storage space. Proper placement of personal items and coats is also encouraged to ensure a smooth boarding and deplaning process.
