Just bring a carry on instead of an under-seat rucksack next time and teach the airline a lesson. Then you'll get a clear footwell as per the rules. It's perverse that bringing a smaller and less obtrusive bag means you get less personal space but just work with those rules.
Why are flight attendants telling passengers they are not allowed to put thier backpacks (only carry-on) in the overhead bin...told overhead bin is saved for people with roller bags. It seems that the folks with a single carry-on are getting penalized. AA3945 now.View quoted post on X
