A recent TikTok trend emphasizes the "demure" and correct way to perform everyday tasks. This trend has extended to various domains, including air travel, where an American Airlines flight attendant shared tips on efficient bag storage.

The video, which has garnered 2.4 million views, features a flight attendant demonstrating how to board an aircraft and store carry-on luggage efficiently. The steps include rolling the carry-on in the aisle, stepping out of the aisle, placing the bag in the overhead compartment, and turning it on its side to maximize space for other passengers.

The flight attendant suggests that airlines should consider using platforms like TikTok to educate passengers about proper bag storage techniques instead of relying solely on traditional safety videos. Additionally, he notes that passengers need guidance on closing these heavy bins correctly.
