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.

In his video captioned "This is how you board a plane the demure way," user @flywithhotboymike highlights that oversized bins have enough space for one bag per passenger. However, customers are often forced to gate-check their bags due to several common issues:

1. Customers place personal items or coats in the bin along with their carry-on bags.

2. Gate agents start requiring gate checks too early when there is still available space.

3. Passengers do not turn their bags on their sides, thus taking up more room than necessary.

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.
