Got it. Wasn't expecting luxury, but sounds like business won't matter much.
No one cares too much about the hand baggage weight/side.
Do not expect priority boarding - especially if you are bussed to the aircraft... If you are concerned about your hand baggage, be at the gate area earlier (especially since the domestic *A lounge is nothing to write home about).
Don't even think about upgrading to C on MS Express flights. Mainline MS C is decent (like F with US carriers) and complimentary u/grades happen for *A Gold members are Y is very often oversold.
Looks like our flights would be on RJs, and short, so only thought about buying business as a way to ensure priority boarding and no hassles with carry-on since the extra $ is so small.
If no room for carry-on, I assume they'll gate check it fine, or on an RJ do they do like UA does green tags and collect larger carry-ons out on the tarmac?
