Air travel competition is heating up, and we’re not talking about corporate profits and losses here. As airlines reduce flights and use smaller planes, passengers sometimes are jostling for storage space for their carry-on items.
Holiday travelers particularly risk raising the ire of grizzled business fliers, who depend on strict adherence to a set of written and unwritten rules to get them on and off of planes efficiently.
"Business travelers do this every day," said Joe Brancatelli, whose Web site, joesentme.com, is a destination for frequent fliers. "They know the rules of the sizes they’re allowed to carry. They know the size of the space available to them on the plane they’re flying, and they’re prepared to hit the rules. What bugs them is when someone else doesn’t know the rules."
