For example, American Airlines' Boeing 737-800 aircraft went from 148 seats to 172 without adding extra bins or installing bigger ones, forcing passengers to compete for overhead space.
Icelandair’s Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft seat 160 passengers – 16 in business class (Saga Class) and 144 in economy, while the larger -9 variant seats 178. With a maximum speed of 521mph (839kmph) and a range of up to 4,045miles (6,510km), these modern aircraft also use 37% less fuel per trip than the Boeing 757-200, allowing Icelandair to This Boeing 737-900ER (739) seats 180 passengers and is primarily used on Domestic routes. This next-generation aircraft features 20 First Class recliner seats, 21 Delta Comfort+ seats, and 139 Economy seats. The interior of this aircraft has been outfitted with the modern Boeing Sky Interior (BSI) that features enhanced mood lighting.Onboard the -800, the cabin was very modern and clean. The flight attendants noted the new, larger overhead bins, and the seats looked fresh with a leather-type finish. I was sat in the penultimate row (30). Whilst the seat was fairly narrow, there was ample legroom for this 193cm (6’4”) passenger to not feel cramped.It seems you can fit more overhead luggage in a 737 than in a 777. The 777 is so large, it just makes the overhead bins look small. All kidding aside, which airlines? My understanding is that airlines can customize their planes. It also seems the ratio of people to bins is greater on the 777 compared to the 737. As noted above, this is not accurate for the E175s and E190s. Rollaboards are most certainly allowed onboard, and routinely so. It's the CR2, CR7, E135/140/145 where you cannot take rollaboards on because the overhead bins are too small. That is great news. Maybe those bigger ERJs will make an appearance here someday. The Boeing 737-800 (and all Boeing 737’s for that matter) have both a Forward (FWD) overhead and Aft (AFT) overhead. These are used to control and manage vital systems of the aircraft. This includes the fuel, hydraulic, pressurization, electrical, air conditioning/heating systems, external lighting, some navigational functions, and others. Many domestic airlines require that carry-on luggage is no larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches. For international carriers, it's often 21.5 x 15.5 x 9 inches. Airlines calculate carry-on luggage size The airline says overhead bins on its new Boeing 737-900 aircraft are 48 percent larger than its old bins, and deep enough for typical rollaboard suitcases to be loaded in on their sides.
