> Flights with no overhead bins at all. I completely disagree about this one. I'm not checking all my essentials, because there's a good chance the luggage will get lost (esp. if it's an American airline). The solution for your problem here is that passengers need to get a test and a license: they need to demonstrate that they can very quickly stick their luggage into the overhead compartment and sit down when boarding, and very quickly get up, grab their bag, and start walking down the aisle when disembarking ("deplaning"... ugh). Half the passengers would fail this test every time, so those people should be kept in a separate part of the plane and charged extra for wasting everyone's time.

You can put your essentials under the seat in front of you.

  No, you can't: that's for your "personal item". It's big enough for a small backpack with a laptop and a few other things, and that's about it. Certainly not for a couple days worth of clothes and toiletries.

    It's big enough - I've put my backpack filled with a weeks clothes for BOTH my husband and I plus my laptop under the seat in front of me.

    I'm going to disagree with you there. I took a lot of trips on Ryanair recently, and since they charge for overhead bin use, I kept everything under the seat in front of me. I was able to fit everything I needed (toiletries, clothes, laptop) for four days in a backpack under the seat in front of me.

      Ok fine, I suppose you can somehow make it fit if you pack only the bare essentials. I don't feel like it though: why should I? I don't fly RyanAir and I can use the overhead bin for free, so that's what I'm going to do. I can usually bring all the luggage I need for my entire trip carry-on and fit it in the overhead bin and under the seat (two bags, one large, one small), so that's what I do.
