For those who fly w/ equipment

[Mike111]

When I flew more and had less money, I paid extra for the extra leg-room seats, which put me usually in boarding group 2. For the last 4 years or so, I fly first class to get the guaranteed overhead space.

I fly Delta A LOT. Never had a problem. But I also purchase Comfort + or Premium Select. I pay a little more for reserved overhead space. I get on early and seats are closer to the exit for quick exit to get my next flight.
