The thread title mentions flying to Rhode Island. Since Providence is the only destination in that state OP should note that the flight will be on an 18-seat Beech D1900 (BEH) operated by Air Georgian. On occasion, when the flight is full, the luggage travels the next day. I've flown to BOS on the mainline and driven to Providence.
Really? Damn.. how would I go about collecting my luggage the next day then? Will I be told on the plane or at the airport?
