A pregnant social media influencer says she was left stunned after a flight attendant refused to place her carry-on bag into the overhead bin. The influencer, Dominique Elissa, discussed the incident on the “Big Small Talk” podcast, describing the moment when she asked for help and the crew member declined.
According to reports, the attendant told her that if she could not lift the bag herself, she needed to check it instead. Sources vary slightly on the bag’s weight, describing it as about 9 pounds (or about 4 kilograms). The account has drawn online discussion, with attention focused on expectations about assistance for pregnant passengers and the extent of staff obligations during boarding. None of the outlets report an official airline response in the provided material.
