Wider height wise than our beloved RJ

They aren't deep enough for a rollaboard - I carry my 19" on these and have to place it sideways and only on the starboard side of the aircraft.

I have been flying so many RJs i got an american tourister overnight bag that i can pack for 3 days in no problem. It has been my carry on the last two trips. it even fits on the SAABs (overhead) ^

That makes you a good tipper - I average $2 per car, with a sprinkling of fives and tens.

I am by no means complaining about the cigarette tip - made me feel like I was doing my old job. That was the change from a $20 on a single pack...13 and change.

Good thing to add to my previous post - my 19" also happens to fit on a CR2. I don't think about the maximum allowed 22" working.

* Some SkyTeam USA airlines require gate checking all rollaboards anyway, which might happen with US Express.

I would walk for cigarettes a few times an hour for that type of tip.

You can fit a standard size rollaboard in sideways only, and the bins are only on the starboard side.

I think I would be embarrassed to give such, $2 for valet is :rolleyes:

I forgot how much I hated ironing. It's was 2004 when I last had to worry about weaing a dress shirt and tie for work everyday. Of course those shirts were all no-iron types but they are all a size to big and I look like I'm wearing a giant garbage bag. Actaully, that's always my problem with dress shirts.

I'll iron sometimes in a hotel room; but everything here either comes from the cleaners or I use the dewrinkling spray; it has made my life so much easier. All of Plus1's clothes go the cleaners, but I will iron his stuff when we travel.
