If You’re Flying Basic Economy on American or Delta And Need Overhead Bin Space, Do This If you're flying American Airlines on a basic economy fare take note: starting December 12 customers with peanut allergies can board early so they have a chance to wipe down their seats. Delta allows this too. By the way I don't actually recommend misrepresenting your needs. I do think these loopholes speak to the absurdity of the restrictions themselves.

If a passenger speaks up, afraid their computer for instance might disappear to camera equipment could get damaged, the passenger is immediately put on notice: are we going to have a problem?

Air China's Shenzen flight is super interesting because the airport is a mere 24 miles from Hong Kong. You can take a taxi or ferry across to Hong Kong (there's a border crossing involved) and save about $1000 roundtrip and avoid a connecting flight, or save $3000 roundtrip compared to Hong Kong non-stops.
