E190 Carry-on Question
I have my first B6 flights booked on an E190. Are the overhead luggage bins the same size as a 757 or A320? Will they gladly accept a standard rollaboard? Thanks for the help... I tried the search function and got nothing.

The above poster is correct, and I believe one side is actually a little larger than the other. Also, since the bins are somewhat smaller causing the bags to go sideways (long way), if the flight is packed, expect for some to be gate checked.

If you want to experience the best out TVs and XM Radio has to offer then I would suggest you BYO. The headsets that we hand out on the aircraft, while adequate, don't deliver the ultimate experience. The plugs accept all standard headset plugs, Bose, Sony, ect.

As for the carry-on question, most definitely a decent sized overhead bin. Don't think RJ - these are definitely better. Standard sized rollaboard definitely fits horizontally.

We do not sell the upgraded headsets onboard. The only headsets that we give out on board are the really cheap ones. So to answer your question, we do give them out onboard, just not the upgraded ones.
