- Travel + Leisure interviewed several flight attendants who said overhead bins above a row are not fixed to specific seats; one attendant said they should be prioritized for passengers in that row, while another said they are first‑come, first‑served.
- A veteran flight attendant noted many passengers mistakenly think sitting below a bin gives them that space, and advised travelers to check adjacent rows for space, avoid moving others' luggage, and let crew rearrange items as needed.
