But of course if your carry on luggage was the correct weight and dimensions it wouldn't be a problem, right? ;-)
Well the carry on was under 7kgs and no problem for me but my 67 year old wife struggled boarding and as a matter of fact the cabin crew suggested that during disembarkation that she waited until most passengers had departed and then use the front. I don't think that she would be the only passenger who would have some difficulty!
It's been a while since we flew internally. We usually fly internationally.
ALSO the tug/tractor was attached to the 'LEFT' MAIN undercarriage (not the nosewheel so maybe the pilot was 'steering' during pushback instead of it being controlled by the tractor driver) and BEHIND it so it PULLED not PUSHED.
Sorry about using 'port'. Maybe that's why I'm only a flight simmer and not a pilot
And I'll drink to that!
