Our fly itinerary shows one fly segment will be operated by Skywest airline .

We will have 1 checked in luggage and 1 carry on. I try to look for the head bin dimension of this aircraft, but unable to find it.

If you have flew in this kind of plane (aircraft CRJ200), please advise if the carry on luggage will fit the head bin. Thank you

I have observed that it depends on how big the carry on luggage is. The bins are not especially large, so some bags might need to be checked that could be carried on a larger plane. Don't ask me exactly how big a bag can be carried on, because I cannot quote you sizes. I personally always check a bag and carry on only small things no matter the size of the plane, so my comments are based on observations of others. On a full plane, quite a few bags get gate checked.
 
crj is a canadair regional jet (think the small leer looking jets)

single aisle, one or two seats on either side...very little headroom.

should have the same room under the seat as any regular airplane...but I honestly recall very small overhead bins in these

Thank for your reply. The carry on luggage I used in our last trip fits the head bin of A320 aircraft . I do not know if the same carry on will fit for the aircraft we will fly from SFO to Denver .

I remember only 2 seats per site. Total 48 seats . Does anyone know how the airline will do , Do they make me leave my carry on at the gate and pick up it again when I get off the plane in Denver?

No doubt this varies by airline, but with the CRJs I've been on, they "gate check" larger carry-on items as you board the plane, and then return them to you at the gate at your destination. The overhead bins will only accommodate "personal" items (briefcases, purses, coats, etc.) and/or those items can be stowed under the seat in front of you.
 
Gate Check means they take it from you when you are climbing the ladder, place it in a seperate compartment in the nose of the plane and hand it back to you after you descend the ladder,

At Flyer Talk the are affectionately referred to as Barbi Jets
 
Unless you have a small soft sided bag, it will be gate checked. It is dropped at the door just before boarding and then delivered in the jet bridge or plane side if there's no jet bridge. No way a normal sized roll aboard can be put in the overhead in a CRJ200.

Cheers
 
Once, a ground crew tried to tag my tiny roll-on at the door. I said, "I've been on this aircraft before, and I know it will fit under the seat" -- which it did, barely.

From a thread on Flyer Talk...
The bins have virtually no depth. A bag with a width of M/T 7" will not fit.
This bag apparently does: http://www.ebags.com/product/kennet...led-uprightcarry-on/218815?productid=10145975

"The CRJ200 is a special death barge sewage pipe from hell, and they make the overhead bins juuuuuust small enough so that virtually nothing with wheels will fit up there." -- quoting "thegasguru"

CRJ 200 is the oldest and I think smallest CRJ still in service. 48 seats. As others have said, there will be a rack outside the plane, or in the jetway as you enter it. Just put your bag on the rack with the others. Just wait there at destination and it will be returned to you there. You do not have to do to a baggage carousel to retrieve it.

I go out of my way to not fly these aircraft due to the lack of space inside. Regional jets may be here to stay, but they can do a lot better than this tin can.

Crj

A standard roller board will not fit in the overhead. An a320 is a jumbo jet in comparison. Lol
 
Overhead bin space comparisons between an Airbus and CRJ is like comparing trunk space in a VW vs. an SUV. Prepare to planeside check/gate check anything with wheels.

FWIW, I've come to prefer CRJs. There are no center seats (yea!), and with no larger carry-on items in the cabin there are fewer hassles/delays when boarding and unboarding.

The only negative in my view is if you deplane on a jetway and they try to return the luggage there (resulting in a big road jam). When that's the case, I just remain seated and wait for the crowd to clear.

Plus, they tend to fly faster so you get to your destination in shorter time.

They are also fun by smaller airlines with less trained staff and typically (in my experience) less clean, though that's not saying much compared to larger planes. On one of my last trips on a regional jet (a 2.75 hr flight, so about 3.25 hrs in the plane, or slightly longer) there was no water in the single toilet (they recognized this in advance and instead of fixing it provided hand wipes), the plane was filthy, etc. I find the seats too small for comfort, especially when seated next to someone.

I'll fly regional jets for up to an hour or perhaps 1.5 hr flight if absolutely necessary, but avoid them at all other times. And this is an inconvenience for me, since one of my clients is based in a smaller city that is more often serviced by these planes.

As an aside, I recently bought a new carry on bag for my laptop that has wheels. It's still somewhat small, but after many years of a shoulder bag walking miles through airports I found a better replacement. Even though it's still small, I doubt it would fit overhead on a regional plane. And for me, as I'm tall and the seats are tight, if it put it under the seat in front I won't have anywhere for my legs to go... Yet another reason for me to avoid these planes.

Compared to what? Driving?

CRJs actually do technically fly a bit faster than say a 737...they take off faster, accellerate faster (ie reach cruising speed faster) climb faster and can land faster..all shaving time off the overall flight.

I dont believe the top speed is significantly different between airliners...all somewhere around 500mph.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I'm glad you clarified it for everyone. :rolleyes:

If you take a look at airline schedules for CRJs vs. 737s or A320s (for example) for the same route, you will find the scheduled flight times are frequently shorter. Brian had a good list of reasons in his post above.

The negatives still convince me to fly a larger jet whenever possible, even if it's a few minutes longer.

I fly this type of aircraft often. I had to abandon one rolling laptop bag that wouldn't fit under the seats because of the depth. My new one fits nicely under the seat, except once in a while it is a very tight fit. Sagging seats, perhaps? With nothing at all in the back section of the bag, I have shoved it into the overhead, but I don't usually try.

My only issue is, when using a carry-on that I gate check, my sometimes tight connections get even tighter while I wait on my gate check bagged to be returned. I usually check my bag to avoid the aggravation.

The info about the quicker flights is interesting. I'll try to pay attention in the future, but now that you mention it, I can see that the flights really are quicker in these planes.

Thank everyone again for more inputs about this aircraft .

We hope the weather will be good in Denver and no problem or delay with our connection fly.

to update:
Our carry on luggage was gate check . We got it when got out of the plane in Denver airport

For my money, the most comfortable coach seat on any American carrier is the small regional plane that has the 1-2 seat configuration. The 1 side assures you a window AND no next door neighbor. Also pretty comfy . . . at least in the past.

That's the first generation Barbie Jet from Embraer in Brazil. Much preferable to the Canadian Bombardier 2+2

It's even better when they have the same arrangement in First Class in the newer and larger versions from both companies. :D

Cheers
 
Just booked a flight on a CRJ900 out of necessity for next month. However, it has first class seats and I upgraded since economy fares are so expensive on my route it was a minor increase to get first throughout after considering bag and other misc fees. I'm hoping for the best. :)
