How to place carry-on baggage on the plane without disturbing anyone

Take everything you need with you

Before getting on the plane, take out of your bag everything you need on the flight: a book, headphones or a bottle of water. Then you do not have to subsequently sort out all the luggage and bother the neighbors in order to get to the necessary things.

Do not take large bags with you on the plane

Consider whether you need a luggage rack at all. Small carry-on luggage - a small bag or backpack - will easily fit under the seat in front of you. This allows neighbors with large bags to have more space in the luggage rack, and you have access to your carry-on luggage at any time.

Put your outerwear under the chair

If you are traveling during the cold season and you have outerwear with you, try to place them under the chair. Jackets and coats take up too much space on the luggage racks, which can be used more efficiently.

If you do decide to put your outer garments in the overhead rack, try putting them in your bag to save space.

Do not occupy other people's shelves

Do not put your belongings on the shelves above the seats of other passengers. Finding your carry-on luggage greatly slows down the process of getting off the plane. If there is no more room for luggage above your seat, ask the flight attendants for help.

Put the suitcase with the handle towards you

If you have a small suitcase on wheels as carry-on baggage, place it on the luggage rack with the wheels forward and the handle toward you. Then at the exit it will be easier and faster to get it.

Respect someone else's time

After you have packed your carry-on baggage, sit down in your seat as soon as possible. This way you will not disturb other people and speed up the seating process.
