Depends. With American I get (got?) early boarding so I never had to worry
about them running out of overhead space. If I have a connection I definitely

big for carry on. I wear a work branded shirt during class but
Yes I can do that as well. I just got tired of rolling the bag thru airports
etc, and fighting for bin space. Now that I have status I may consider going
back to carry on.
The other thing I hate about doing carry on is sometimes I end up on small
planes and have to gate check, then wait on the
If you’re traveling more than a day or two at a time you should be able to get
a week’s worth of clothing and stuff in a small roll around bag. If not, you
need to do some research on how to travel light. I could do Sunday to Friday
domestically with a small roll around bag that fits in the over
I used to do carry on all the time but I get free checked bags and I got tires
of dragging it thru the airport.

This.
But - I never checked bags on domestic flights, I always carried on. That way
you could be long gone from the rental car counter (or the “Emerald Lane”)
while your fellow passengers were still standing around waiting for their bags.
This was especially important for the homebound leg, too

Depends on how long the flight is. If its over say 3 hours the bulkhead is
good. If its over 8 hours its a requirement. For a short hop its annoying to

I sort of like the back due to what you say, but prefer the front due to
getting off the plane first when landing. I have liked bulkheads but sometimes

Good points. We were taught in an aircraft survival course I took to count seat
backs to each emergency exit in each direction. When the lights are out or the

They’re a double edged sword in my book. Nice because you don’t have someone’s
seat back in your face, but suck because you can’t stretch out.
I always went for exit rows when I wasn’t upgraded to first or business class.
The second exit row, I would add, as the first one (if they’re one in fron
For those who have flown a lot, do you like bulkhead seats or avoid them?
