Comment on Are there any travel bags that are exactly the size of the spirit airlines personal item bag?

You’re going to have to get some more specifics from your airline. Even with that, though, sometimes you get screwed and have the seat with a little less clearance than they publish.
Personal items typically fit under the seat in front of you, so you can look for “underseat carry on bag” to get a rough idea of what is available.

As an added bonus if you are in the very front seat and they say to put it under the seat in front of you, you have no where to put it
Personal experience when I went to DC.

Bulkhead seats usually have reserved overhead storage. The attendants will often offer to stow your bags for you right before takeoff, so that you can access your bags right up until they need to be stowed.

True. Most will. Sadly the one that I was on didn’t.
CRJ 700
First class in there was worn out seats and arm rests. And if the plane was filled you had to put your carry on bag under the plane. You go down the ramp and just before the door to enter the plane you set your carry on down and they put the bag under the plane.

My experience is that it is entirely on the flight crew to think ahead and “reserve” this space. Sometimes, it’s not really reserved at all, there is just more room for overhead stuff in First Class so they just put your bag there, and then you have to endure the stare of entitled dipshits every time you need to get your bag.

Why not under your own seat…logic dictates everyone gets their own seat, not everyone has a seat in front of them.

Because you can’t see under your own seat and the space under the seat in front of you is already where you store your feet. Typically, in the front row of the plane, there’s more leg space since like you said there’s no seat there.

Not sure. But they said it goes under the seat in front of you. Not sure why they have that thought process.
