Generally not a problem in business class cabins. But if you have any small aircraft segments, especially on regional jets etc, you may have a problem.Bob said:1. Will I have problems on other airlines (BA, LA, AA) in getting a 45" bag into overhead bins?
Note that there are no overhead bins over row 1 on the QF 744's. But there is a locker in the nose between seats 1B and 1J.Bob said:2. If space is a problem upstairs, I presently have 1J reserved (in a 2 class 747). Does anyone know if there is any extra space in front of row 1? I don't like climbing over (or being climbed over) when there is not enough space.

when travelling domestic/international within/from the US get onto the plane as soon as you can when they call it.
the social norm in the US is to not check your luggage so people bring on the most amazing amount of/sized carry on. overhead locker space can be an issue, even in J. i find getting in early and placing my bag up at one side of the locker, hard against the side of the locker means i never miss out.
this week on Continental i saw a number of J class passengers have their 'carry on' checked by the cabin crew. the passengers were not too pleased.
so i reckon getting on right away is the go, just to make sure.
Cheers
