One option that isnt discussed is having the overhead bins be seperately ticketed and a box. So if you want a bin, you pay $40 and one gets asigned to you. It would streamline boarding because people would put their stuff in the bin and be done.

Until they don't, and then the air hostesses who are just trying to get everyone seated have to become policemen as well. They have enough to do.

Not really any different than having assigned seats for people.

Overhead bins tend to be under provisioned for the amount of passengers boarding.

Aside from it being difficult to implement, I like this idea, especially if it’s less to check. I have noticed that some airlines, Alaska for example, will give free gate checks to folks.
