Air India “Karen” Rages At Economy Class Passenger Who Used Business Class Overhead Bin

An Air India passenger – let’s call her Karen – seated in business class raged when an economy class passenger placed his carry-on bag in a business class overhead bin, demanding that it be removed. Why can’t Karens just mind their own business?

Air India Karen Demands Economy Class Passengers Remove Carry-On Bag From Empty Overhead Bin In Business Class, Scolds Flight Attendant

An undated video shows a woman yelling at a passenger in economy class, demanding to know his name and then demanding that his carry-on bag be removed. Business class looks lightly booked, but apparently, “Air India Karen” could not stand the indignity of a coach passenger using a premium overhead bin.

It appears the flight attendant, who does comply with the demand to move the carry-on bag from business class to economy class, is amused by this and smirks or smiles. That upsets the woman, who says, “Don’t give me looks! We don’t need that.”

When the carry-ons got more status than the passenger!

This reminds me of the story I covered yesterday, about a first class passenger becoming irate that an economy class passenger would have the audacity to use a first class lavatory (when access to the rear lavatory was blocked by a beverage cart).

My analysis is the same: mind your own business. In this case, it seems like business class was lightly booked and a passenger from economy class dropped his bag in the empty business class bin. Should that be done? No, not if it can be avoided. But I do not see a problem with economy class passengers utilizing business class overhead bin space when 1.) business class is fully boarded and 2.) extra space is left 3.) especially if the space in economy class overhead bin space is full.

And the woman yelling at the passenger and flight attendant in such a condescending manner is not a good look either…would she talk to everyone that way or is that just another caste issue on display?

In any case, mind your own business! It’s one thing to complain if an economy class passenger boarding in front of you takes the last of the business class overhead bin space, leaving none for you, but it’s quite another when there appears to be plenty of surplus space.
