    Shouldn’t be impossible for airlines to allow each passenger one bag that can fit under the seat in front free of charge, then seek payment for further items.

    Though they’ll argue that this would make things more fraught at the gate & in the cabin.

      Actually my bag doesn’t fully fit under the seat, just mostly and I live with the reduced foot space. So I might fail a size box for under the seat.

        Don’t know about that - on any flight I’ve ever been on, once everyone is on board, the cabin crew do a specific check for bags that stick out too much, and move any that do, as it is a safety issue.

        So if they’ve been happy with your bag, it would probably be fine in a size box.

          That is quite possible, but I would assume the visual check to be more lenient than a specified box, especially since they can take into consideration that I wedged it in tightly.
