thanks for your thoughtful reply.
ugh, that's a problem. my carry-on includes a laptop etc. things that i don't wish to check in.
do you think they might consider the fact that my main "leg" (next leg) is a First Class ticket, and maybe, just maybe, let me go ahead?
the two pieces of carry-on are not ridiculously large: a standard roller on, and a backpack that is rather stuffed but it's a laptop backpack, so it's not some camping gigantic backpack. might those "pass" their judgement of what's too large for the CRJ-900 and what's ok?
thank you again in advance for your highly experienced advice.
