Just got on a KLM flight from Amsterdam to the U.K. and the gate attendant insists she has to check my bag because the plane is getting full. Mind you, I'm at the front of the economy class line, so maybe one-third of the plane has boarded at this point.
And before any trolls chime in about the idea that only serfs travel in economy class, don't. I'm a United 1K flier but I didn't have any Star Alliance alternatives tonight.
Anyway, I'm sitting in my seat now and half - I kid you not - half the overhead is free. So now I have the pleasure of hanging around at baggage claim like a clown all because some attendant struggles with basic math & probability.
