Overhead storage isn’t your closet.

That’s the message from travel influencer couple Matt and Hillary, whose TikTok account @hillnpoo has 42,000 followers.

they Post a video He says that airline passengers shouldn’t put their clothes or jackets in the overhead baggage compartment — and that has led to a loudmouth controversy.

In the video caption: “Are we wrong to think that flak jackets are a crime?” The voiceover says:

“If you’re planning to fly in 2023, please don’t be the one who fills an entire overhead locker with your jackets. It’s an absolute waste of space. They can sit on your lap or most airlines have hooks.”

The etiquette message divided followers and garnered more than 600 commenters and more than 240,000 views.

One opponent wrote, “Considering that the crew asks you to put your jacket in there, it makes no sense not to do so.”

Another chimed in, “Well, that’s not quite right. I tried several times to keep it on my knees and the hostess put it in overhead storage.”

But of course, many agreed with the influencers, including one who claims to be a frequent flyer.

“As someone who used to travel more than 200 days a year – I’ve been on many flights when the attendant said not to put coats in overhead bins,” the commentator wrote.
