Standing in line for boarding to be in the first rows is not idiocy or queuing syndrome at all, but a completely thought-out decision. Quite a logical justification, for why many passengers do this, the tourist found out with great surprise and came to the defense of vacationers who want to get on board the plane in the first rows. Samantha, the host of the Affordingstyle blog, told about this in her TikTok blog, in which she even talks about travel.
The whole point is a shortage — but not seats at all, but a shortage of space on the luggage racks. Since it became fashionable to fly only with hand luggage, and with luggage, let’s add, expensive, the issue of “free space above your head” to put your luggage there has become highly relevant to tourists.
“It’s not about just getting on the plane early. With all these problems with luggage, with its loss, everyone started flying with hand luggage. And there isn’t enough room for him,” the blogger explained.
The video very quickly received about 270 thousand views and a lot of comments. Most tourists confirm that yes, they try to get to the first rows for boarding just for this. And if this fails, they feel extremely uncomfortable – everyone complains that there is always not enough space for hand luggage, and being in the last rows almost guarantees that the luggage taken into the cabin will either be at the feet, or it is not known where at all. “When I stand in the last rows, I think with horror – where will they put my bag and what will they do if they lose it,” complained one tourist, for example.
