The enemy of efficient boarding is excessive hand luggage that people can’t properly manage and many can’t even lift into the overhead as required.
The fix for that is charge for the overhead case as well as the underseat/personal item. And enforce it.
Frankly with the horrific cost to the environment of flying there’s a case for weighing the passenger and all luggage/items, and charging those over allowance. Travelling light isn’t just a good idea for cruising quickly through the airport.
Yes, there should be a higher charge for the overhead case vs checking it in; this would greatly enhance everyone’s flight/journey through the airport.
