This is a CRJ700. I am told that this type of plane doesn't fit hard sided carry ons and everything will have to be gate checked. Will i be able to request that I get it back at my connection or are they getting checked through to final destination?
I am considering buying a duffle bag and swapping, or just trying to carry everything in my hands that I will need for work and letting my suitcase travel to my final destination and picking it up in week.
In my experience, whenever I've had a bag gate checked on a small plane such as this, I've always been required to wait on the jetbridge upon arrival and the gate checked bag was brought to me. They are not forwarded along to your next destination. In fact, I don't even believe they can be since they weren't entered into the system when checking in at your origin (not positive on that though).
In this case, I think you'll be ok. Hopefully others will chime in if they had a difference experience.
