    Friendly flight attendant here. The gate agents aren’t persnickety , technically these bags do count as a personal item and they are just doing their job. What I think many passengers don’t understand is that nearly EVERYTHING flight crew and gate agents do is regulated by the FAA , so when a passenger asks them to overlook their little extra bag they are now breaking a rule and can get in trouble for that. I get the rules are annoying but they’re also not a huge ask either and it really helps make these jobs less stressful if we just cooperate ! And pleeaaaase just don’t wear the bag on the plane when we are taking off and landing ! Flight crew is required to tell you to stow it.

      I apologize. I made this video before it was common to wear sling bags on a plane. Now I just stow my in flight bag in my personal item during boarding/ takeoff rather than getting stopped right before boarding. I don’t like holding up the line. On a recent flight out of Orlando, I noticed that people with crossbody bags were being told to put them in their personal item, but shopping bags from them parks didn’t seem to “count”. Is there an exemption for shopping bags or was it just that crew?

      @@okayestfamilytravelsI know it seems odd that big shopping ages are ok but a small sling is not acceptable. A sling is against the body. Makes no sense to me. I must not get it.

    100% agree there is no need to carry all your loyalty cards, gym card, extra credit cards etc. But DO NOT leave your health insurance card at home. No one plans to be injured or sick on vacation but it happens. As a nurse in a high tourist area, I can say never leave your insurance card at home.

    Please don't spray scent in the bathroom after you do your business. So many people have scent allergies and this will make them SICK! It's far better just to do your business and leave. Does it stink? Of course. But you won't make people sick from your perfumes and scents.

      Thanks for your comment. Poopourri isn’t an air freshener. You spritz it directly into the toilet before you go and it traps the smell. It’s not a product that leaves a smell behind. Also, I looked it up and it doesn’t contain parabens, pthalates, aerosol, formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, ethanol or benzene. (Things that typically activate scent allergies)

    That gate agent is doing her job. It’s not an airplane policy it’s a federal policy, you know by the FAA. I does count as your personal item and need to be consolidated into another bag before you board. You’re just making the job of the agents and flight attendants job harder. The persnickety person is not the agent it’s YOU

    • @okayestfamilytravels
      @okayestfamilytravels  8 месяцев назад

      Hi Mike, when I made this video, crossbody bags like this weren’t nearly as popular as they are now. I always recommend saving space in your actual personal item for your crossbody bag, and always comply with both the gate agents and flight crew, because like you said, they are just trying to do their job. I’ve actually stopped wearing crossbody bags for boarding because I don’t want to slow up traffic to step to the side and stow my bag, so I guess I need to make a new video🤷‍♀️
