Awww crap... I had to bump this thread, last night I was flying from Phoenix to Houston on this ridiculous 3-seat wide plane, they told me my carry-on sized suitcase wouldn't fit and had to be put under the plane (checked and picked up at the gate though)... Man I bitched but they wouldn't budge at all, and I did see that pretty much every other person on the plane was doing the same. I pulled my laptop out of it and boarded, while looking terrified out the window.
I guess it's my fault buying designer luggage, but I figured carry-on wouldn't be a big deal since up until now I've been carrying it. Well thanks to this flight the retractable handle thingy has a big crack in it and the leather is all gouged up... Fuck you continental! I did notice the strange seating chart when I booked this flight, but I wouldn't think there'd be a plane that didn't allow carryon-sized luggage
