That has happened to me on many occasions, the restriction is that the counter agent does not realise the limited size of the overhead lockers. Most times I have to deposit my carry-on baggage in the hold and retrieve it on departing the aircraft. In this day and age of high security levels it does not pay to get into a dispute with any airline staff. Just use a bit of common-sense when packing for a trip can save a lot of stress. Talking of packing.............. I'm off to Mallorca for a week..... now where will I fit that 17-40?
