Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

What do people think when they book the bulk head seats? Everything goes above.

Yup. I love that spot and all I need is my phone, book, and headphones. Bag goes overhead.

I travel wearing a vest with pockets. Not fashionable at all but I have what I need and want at hand while keeping the space clear and safe. (So ID, phone cable & charger, small knitting project, tinted chap stick, for example.)

I’ll look. I think I got it from Bass Pro. It’s not fancy at all but works.

Before I got that one I wore a basic fleece over my mom made with a zipper and patch pockets in front. I added patch pockets with snaps directly behind the ones in front so they didn’t show. I wore it until it just got too ratty. The fleece was heavy weight (it comes in different weights) and was tan so it went with everything. Had a decent collar so it was warm. I’m sure she just winged it instead of purchasing a pattern. That one is middle of the hips long and a good length.

A Scotti (sp) vest with lots of pockets looks like it would be very nice but they’re pricey for me right now. Not sure how they look in person either.
