Hats On A Plane
« on: June 27, 2017, 03:28:08 PM »
Searched for this topic but couldn't find it. So please excuse me if this was already asked before.

I'm taking a domestic flight on AA this month, and ideally would like to bring a small suitcase, rolling briefcase, and plastic hatbox. Would this be a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds fine to me. I've brought similar in the past on economy.

Theoretically a problem as you're only allowed total of 2 pieces. YMMV whether they are strict.

Chareidi guy in a hat asks that the woman next to him be moved and she gets bounced around the plane before shouting that she's had it with the ---- hats on the ---- plane?

So here's the report:

Went with the suitcase and rolling briefcase. No issues at LGA, though I gate checked the suitcase to make people's lives easier.

At return at ORD, agent in front of security blocks my way and insists that I check it. Other agents told me that the size is fine, though he insisted. I begrudgingly checked it and paid $25 and sent an immediate email to American demanding a refund.

If you had a total of 3 pieces, what makes you "entitled" to a refund?

In ORD those agents before security do their job very well.

Had that once in EWR.
Went to another line and got through.
TSA version of HUCA.

It's supposed to be gate agents making issues, not TSA.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I should've collapsed my rolling briefcase and held it.

The guy was on a power trip so I didn't feel like doing anything at 5 am.

Fairly confident I'll be reimbursed.

Why didn't you find another security line?

Highly doubt you'll see a dime from AA.

I was traveling with someone who could've done that, but he skipped right ahead.  :(
