What I never got is why people are so eager to board the plane as early as possible. My strategy is to wait until everyone is in and to go in last. This way I'm in the airplane as short as possible. I always try to get a seat in the center so that nobody needs to stand up and let me into my seat.

I'm only traveling with my [messanger cammera bag](https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-messenger/) which isn't that big to begin with and then it's also flexible, so I never had problems to fit it in between other peoples bags.
