When I DH I board early if possible and then try to stow them in crew storage, and or a closet. I generally will put the flight kit above my seat and my bag on a closet if available. If I have plenty of time from my DH to my operating flight and or I am going to the hotel, I stick the bag down stairs. If it is a International DH I put the bag somewhere in the cabin, as going down stairs to retrieve a bag can prove quite problematic.
