John and Heather are you coming to see me next? I'll leave the light on.
Not anytime soon, I'm afraid...

We had a bit of an issue with luggage on the flights home that is probably going to result in a letter to American Airlines.
We were among the last group to board the plane for our flight from Chicago to San Diego. By the time we reached the gate, they were making everyone with a large bag check it because the overhead bins were full. I told them I wasn't putting my camera bag in the hold, PERIOD. We managed to find room for the camera bags in First Class and put the computer bags under the seat.
What was irritating was that people who boarded earlier were allowed to put their bags in the overhead bins, although a lot of them were so large the bins wouldn't close. I watched one woman struggle to get her bag down when we landed because it was so large and the bin right over my head was difficult for the flight attendant to close because the door was hitting the wheels.
What they need to do is either eliminate the exorbitant fees for checked baggage (which are causing passengers to bring larger and larger carry-on bags) and/or enforce the regulations on carry-on size for ALL passengers, not just the late boarders.

Set a minute, k?
