Excerpts from the "Aeronaut on regional jets" thread posted in our Forums:
travls: "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."
gmich: "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."
BJ Nemeth: "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."
nukediver: "I just flew round-trip to Nashville two weeks back on Embraer ERJ-145s and was literally the only person who didn't gate check a bag. I had plenty of room in the overhead for my Aeronaut and plenty of room at my feet for my Co-Pilot. Granted, my Aeronaut was about half-full (can you say "time for a Tri-Star!"?) - I had my Co-Pilot in it until I got on the plane. Here's a couple of blurry (sorry) pics I snapped while the other passengers were staring at me."
Releaux: "I'll throw another bag experience into this thread. The Brain Bag fits quite easily into the Embraer and Canadair United jets. On the CRJs, I have had to turn it sideways, but it fits "end-in" on the Embraer's."
dgarbutt: "Echoing the same sentiments here. I managed to fit my packed Aeronaut on a UA CRJ 200 in the overhead while many had to gate check their bag."
Paul56: "My July flight experience with the Aeronaut on Delta... CRJ200 the bag fits fine in the overhead bins on a length orientation. If the bag is overstuffed it may be a squeeze. A319 the bag slides into the overhead bin on a width orientation very nicely leaving plenty of space in the bin."
