"Do you know how tall I am ?"

[ButFli]

Every Qantas economy seat I have had has a rail around the front of the space underneath to prevent things stored under it moving forward or things in front of it moving under it. This indicates to me that the seats are designed to have things put under them from the rear.

It also just makes sense that when you choose to store a bag on the floor, you do so in your own leg room. Don't like you legroom being taken by a bag? Store it overhead. If you store a bag under your seat, in the person behind you's legroom, they have no choice in the matter.

What a delightfully civilised thread.

On the rare occaisions that someone in front of me puts a bag under their seat (into my foot zone) I just pick it up and hand it back to them with the suggestion they place it infront of them. It is usually an infrequent flyer, and accepted with good grace.
