Space for my bag

JetBlue flight attendant rocks.

My seat on the JetBlue flight to DC this morning was 3A. that puts me in the very last boarding group, which usually means the airline is going to have to check my bag because all the overhad space will be gone by the time I get on board. And this was a pretty full flight.

I get on board and notice that all the overhead doors are closed in the front part of the plane, even though nobody in the first five rows had taken their seats yet. So I ask the flight attendant: “Those are already all full?”

“No,” she said. “I close the doors so people sitting in the back won’t put their bags up there. I want them to be available to people sitting in the front of the plane.” So even though I was one of the last 20 or so people to board, there was plenty of room for my carry-on. That absolutely rocks.

  1. What’s sad though, is if that flight attendant worked for another airline she probably would have been reprimanded for her actions.
