Travelling under your circumstances is stressful, at best, as you mentioned. Having said that, as a frequent traveler myself, I see too many passengers carrying baggage that they simply cannot lift in the overhead bin. If the aisle is jammed with boarding passengers and one flight attendant is in the back,and the other at the front door, they cannot help even if they want to. (Some union contracts prohibit flight attendants from doing this). If there is a 90 lb elderly person in front of you, and/or the same behind you, who is going to lift your bag if you can't do it?
