Full flight ALC to LGW. Usual boarding shambles (no fault of the crew), too many huge bags being brought on board with nowhere to put them. The small amount of space available in the ‘J’ lockers was soon used up by large gentlemen from behind shoehorning said huge bags into small spaces - sometimes using (in my view) excessive force.
Therefore, after TO, we were subjected to a procession of said large gentlemen wanting access to said huge bags in order to retrieve whatever they had omitted to have available about their persons for the duration of the flight.
The BA curtain, policed by the crew, prevents this unseemly, disruptive procession which we pay extra to avoid.
The crew were willing, cheerful and smart, but had no control over the behaviours described above which makes me wish I had not paid the extra for ‘J’.
