And finally some good developments in the world of air travel–overhead bins are finally getting bigger.
With more passengers bringing carry-on baggage in order to skip checked bag fees, airlines are starting to redesign overhead bins.
Expanding bins is a smart way for airlines to set themselves apart, says Henry Harteveldt, who leads airline and travel analysis at Atmosphere Research Group, a market research firm. Especially if they cater to the business traveler, they’re hoping it will give them a small but noticeable competitive advantage.
United, Delta, American, and US Airways have announced that they will be expanding their bins. More specifics on the airlines’ updated baggage accommodations can be found at Huffington Post.
