Anyone ever fly on an E-170

[Brainonska511]

Anyone ever fly on an E-170? How big are the overhead compartments? I want to know if I will be able to squeeze a duffel bag (not a gigantic one, a normal sized one) into the overhead rack.

I did once, but we got shot down by a soviet missile and I died in the wreckage. My memory is kinda fuzzy on the overhead storage.

Pretty much sized like a bigger jet...so a standard roll-on should fit. They say 24"x16"x10".

I'm somewhere where I don't know where I am.

I hope the seats are better on those than the 145 series. Man that was the wrost seat I have ever sat on in a jet.

I had a window seat, I couldn't sit straight up. I had to lean my shoulders and head for the whole flight. Regional jets FTL.

I have an aisle seat for my flights to and from school for spring break (Chicago to NYC), so I hope it isn't too bad. I'm 5'10"/140lbs, so I don't think it should be too small.

I got to fly on one earlier this year.
I didn't have any problems with my duffel bag, but it was pretty tight because a lot of people have to share one compartment.

I agree the 145 seats are the worst ever

Never been on one, but I've heard the E170 is pretty comfortable with 18" wide seats (same as an Airbus A320) and full size overhead bins. No middle seats either. I actually like "gate checking" my bag on smaller regional jets b/c I don't have to worry about finding overhead space (and no waiting at the baggage carousel!)

And I agree the E145 seats are terrible, even the single seat side.

Ah, yes....you triggered my memory. OP shouldn't have any problems with the E-170.
Just avoid E145's and Bombardier CRJ 700/900's.

I actually flew in a CRJ 700 last month, it was nice but perhaps because it was only half full and I had both seats to myself. It was pretty damn small.

Which airline are you flying? Maybe seatguru has the answer? Look it up.

Are you well-done?

DeltaConnections, flight operated by ShuttleAmerica. Already checked there when I booked the flight; there was nothing.
