Aeronaut on regional jets

[travls]

The recent post on how well a Tri-Star fit into a plane's overhead compartment led me to think that some might find it useful to know about the Aeronaut.

I mostly fly United and have now successfully and easy fit my loaded Aeronaut into the overhead bins on all versions of their Canadair 700 and 200's.

The overheads are really small and to look at it you might not think it would work, but even with a full bag there's been no problem.

All compartments of my bag have been full. The one time I really pushed it by overstuffing the bag I had to sweat a bit to make it fit, but when it's not overstuffed it fits perfectly.

Hope this is helpful.

I second this. On at least four occasions in the past several months I've been on a regional jet and have been able to fit my full Aeronaut in the tight overhead bin each time. Once I was the last person on the plane and watched as two other passengers tried to fit their carry-on in the only remaining bin spot and couldn't do it -- they both had to go tag their bags. But my Aeronaut slid right in.

I only fly on regional jets about twice a year, but my Aeronaut has fit in the overhead bin every time. Meanwhile, *most* of the other passengers are forced to check their carry-on bags at the gate.
