Flying
in a Embraer RJ-135 a tiny
Commercial Airplane
We recently flew in a very small
commercial airplane the Embraer RJ-135 while
traveling across the US. We are tall
and fat, so this was an interesting adventure
to say the least. This is written as
a reminder to anyone tall and / or fat
that might travel. Pay attention to what
plane you fly on and ask if you are not
sure if the seats will be comfortable.
According to some messageboards I read
(after the flight) seats in row 9 are
the best on these planes.. we didn't
sit in row 9 though
|
This is the first time during
a commercial flight that I've
left the airport and walked to
the plane on the run way.

When we arrived in Tucson we
pulled up to a 'regular' gate
and walked right into the airport

Inside the a Embraer RJ-135.
Just three seats across. One
on it's own, then two next to
each other under the overhead
storage.

This plane would be a good size
for a private airplane but with
37 seats, it is a bit crowded
|
|
We left the airport, and walked
to the plane, up the stairs and
in to our seats
|
|
Saving a few dollars was hardly
worth the lack of comfort and
distance we walked to reach the
connecting flight. My advice
to travelers is to check out
the plane on which you are booked.
And check your gates for connecting
flights. We almost missed this
flight because we needed to walk
from the 'regular' portion of
the airport, out to the extreme
end of the small gates
|
|
Travelers would do well to check
your gates on connecting flights.
Some travel agents don't bother
to check that it is possible
to make a connecting flight on
extreme ends of a large airport
