Ever have this happen? It doesn't happen this way.
They have special space for "checked carryon." they ticket it with a special ticket and put it in a SEPARATE part of the plane. When you unload the flight attendants get the "checked carryon" and put it next to the door, then you grab it on your way out.
I sat on the front of a small plane before and there was no space for carryon at all on that seat. There was no seat in front to put it under, and the overheads on that seat had a bunch of flight attendant stuff in them. Being the first on the plane wouldn't have enabled me to avoid the "checked carryon."

- brk 13y agoThis is by no means how it commonly works. Some planes will "gate check" your carryon, but most of the time that last-minute checked luggage gets checked through to your final destination. And for the other comment above, the plane certainly WILL leave without you. I travel 60-100K miles per year.
- DaveWalk 13y agoThis weekend, my partner had her backpacked gate-checked, but it didn't go to the separate part of the plane. It became checked luggage, which then failed to come off the plane and landed in another airport. Fun times having a carryon lost on you.
