By next month, I'll aggregate the seat data into a coherent list, placing all comments posted to their corresponding equip. Or someone else can do it if there's a desire for expediency. Will be flying a 73G, which I haven't flown in a while, but I remember SG being wrong about the bulkhead on it in F.

If at first you don't succeed.....
 
I sent an observation on limited overhead space for certain rows on NW ARJ's to seatguru.

When it was not noted after a couple of weeks I was slightly pissed, but I felt strongly enough about it to send the information to them again. Sure enough it was incorporated into the site a couple days later.

Please post here so that I can build a comprehensive list of the details of the seats in the fleet. Please.

I just got EUA'd for CLE-LAX on a 73G. ^
F is wide open, what seat should I grab?

Benjh Dec 12, 2007 2:26 pm

well I'm not sure this is the right place, but I didn't want to create a new thread.

I'm about to buy a carry-on and I want to make sure I can bring it along on Continental international flights. It's 22", which I know is bigger than the required 20", but I thought maybe they don't look that close (especially for an elite - silver).

This is what I have in mind:

What do you guys (and girls) think?
Thanks!

Not quite sure -- if you can fix the link you might get some more in depth info! ;)

CO 1E Dec 12, 2007 2:46 pm

Since I am not on that flight, you may select 1E.

I do not think that carryons are limited to 20" - except for travel from the UK, carryons are limited to 51" linear (length + width + height).

This is it, sorry:

Yeah I just read about the 51'' linear. I was pretty sure I read 20 inches high somewhere, but where?

CO doesn't specify individual dimension. Only 51" overall. But two issues:

1. At some overseas airports, you can't get through security.
2. That bag you specify is 10.5" deep. No problem on CO's widebodies, but I seriously doubt they'll fit on the 737/757s' overhead. 9" will be about right.

Anyone else agree?

What is the advantage of 1E over 1B?

OPFlyer Dec 12, 2007 7:04 pm

Take 1B--more legroom and usually second for meal choices.

1B would be my pick due to the cut out in the bulkhead.

If you have to go on COEX Barbie jets, even the 20" Samsonite spinners have to be gate checked because the sliding doors won't close with the exta set of wheels on a spinner.
