Baggage policies for express flights
Can anyone give me a quick lowdown on the policies for US express flights as opposed to the mainline fleet?
i.e. carry-ons? if I have a mixed mainline/express itinerary, do I just check in the normal way? etc...
Thanks!

Unless they make you wait on the tarmac in the freezing cold, the baggage service is pretty painless.
BTW....No offense taken!

Checked baggage will (should) go from check-in counter to baggage claim just like on mainline.
Larger carry on baggage is left gateside just before boarding, you can pick up there when you get off. It's convenient, except sometimes the ground service folks take their time getting the baggage from the belly to the metal cart.
Only very small bags and smaller briefcases aboard.

They usually don't let you go down the stairs of the plane until the plane-side checked baggage is out of the plane and in the metal cart.
