It would do away with discovering at your destination that while you weren't looking someone moved your small carry on a number of rows back to make room for somone's oversized carry on. It would eliminate having the cabin crew trying to coerce you to put your (only) bag in your foot-space to make room for someone else's luggage (No, I'm not giving up my leg-room so that others can carry on twice the limit)
I’m glad a company is finally putting it’s foot down on these crazy oversized bags people try to bring on. The stuff pax try to bring on board has gotten waaay out of hand. How many times has boarding been held up because a bag won’t fit or they’ve run out of room halfway through boarding? Then the last third of the pax are all having to check their bags anyways and are ****ed. Now if AS really wants to make an improvement, make checked luggage free and charge a fee for extra carry on bags. Poof! Just like that, everyone gets space for their normal sized carry on...
