Why do people do this ? Never understood it, we all have reserved numbered seats. I'm just sitting back watching all the Archie bargie and laughing to myself.
I'm guessing based on my own experience they want the limited overhead locker space, for their grossly oversized baggage that doesn't conform to any airline sizes I've ever seen (especially those silly frame things Ryanair use). However I'm the same as you Blade, sod the lot of 'em and I check my bag in and wait for the rush to die down, passport control in the UK is the choke point not baggage retrieval.
Today I've been mixing with drug addicts, solicitors, drunks, coppers and the homeless. In the City of dreaming spires, who knew it had so much to offer?
