The mistake of storing coats on planes makes many people uncomfortable.

A common habit when flying in cold weather is to put your coat in the overhead compartment. However, this action is annoying, takes up space and can delay the flight.

When the weather turns cold, a coat is an indispensable item on trips. However, a seemingly harmless act of putting a bulky coat in the overhead compartment on an airplane is causing a lot of controversy and unnecessary trouble for both the crew and other passengers.

Leaving coats in the overhead compartment is causing a lot of trouble for passengers and flight attendants.

Why is storing coats in the overhead compartment a problem?

The main reason is limited space. Overhead compartments are designed primarily for carry-on suitcases and standard-sized bags. A winter coat, especially a down jacket, can take up a significant amount of space, about the size of a small backpack.

When a passenger lets their coat take up space, they can inadvertently take up space for others, leading to a lack of space and forcing some luggage to be checked in. This is not only inconvenient, but can also delay the entire flight.

Kara Godfrey, Deputy Travel Editor at The Sun, said: "I frequently travel with only hand luggage, and seeing passengers leave their coats in the overhead compartment is the biggest annoyance." She said flight attendants often have to spend time identifying the coats' owners to ask them to take them off, interrupting the pre-take-off process.

Reaction from the travel community

The inconvenience has also been a hot topic of discussion on travel forums like Reddit, with passengers expressing frustration with people “hogging the entire overhead bin by placing suitcases, backpacks, and coats next to each other.”

One user commented: “This is not a lack of knowledge, but a selfish and deliberate decision.” These comments show that this is not just a matter of space but also a matter of common sense when traveling by air.

A reasonable alternative to the jacket

Airlines and travel experts alike offer simpler and more effective solutions for dealing with coats on planes:

• Keep it on your body or in your hand: This is the simplest way. You can wear it or drape it over your arm while boarding and finding your seat.
• Under the seat in front: This space is usually large enough to fit a rolled-up coat. It is also the preferred location for small personal items by airlines.
• Use a hanger (if available): Some airplane seats are equipped with small hooks on the back of the seat in front, which is very convenient for hanging your coat neatly.
• Stuff it in your carry-on: If you want to save legroom, roll your coat tightly and stuff it into your suitcase or backpack before placing it in the overhead compartment.

Following a few simple packing rules will not only help you avoid unnecessary hassles, but will also contribute to a smooth, on-time flight for everyone.
