How to Fly on Small Regional Jets

How to Fly on Small Regional Jets
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Faith that bigger is not always better.
  • Carry-on items that fit beneath a seat.

    Preparing for Take-Off

  1. Step 1
    Say goodbye to concerns about flights on "small" airliners. Today's new regional jets are anything but small. With up to 100 seats as wide as those in older, larger airplanes, modern jets are roomy and reliable.
  2. Step 2
    Book your travel as you would normally: through your travel agent, on-line or using the toll-free numbers provided by the major carriers. Request flights with departure times and connections that use regional jets.
  3. Step 3
    Know your departure and destination airports. Many major airlines will automatically book you on a regional service partner, depending on your route. When you have a choice of airports, select one served by regional jets.

    4. Conducting Your Pre-Flight Checklist

  4. Step 1
    Find out if your flight will be a quick trip on a regional jet by checking your confirmation records for airline flight numbers with four digits. Three-digit numbers generally denote larger aircrafts.
  5. Step 2
    Ask your travel professional, phone rep. or ticket counter agent what type of airplane will fly your trip. They'll answer with the name or number designation of your aircraft. If you don't hear the words "regional jet," simply ask.
  6. Step 3
    Check bulky carry-on items at the aircraft door. One secret to the efficiency of small jets is that you don't find passengers inside struggling with big bags. You'll get your gate-checked bag back at the airplane door on arrival, by-passing baggage claim

Book fast and easy travel on today's small regional jets and you'll soon find yourself falling in love with the fare savings and great service these small airplanes provide. Fewer seats help loading and unloading go quickly. Ground time is even shorter thanks to fuel-efficient engines that use less gas, which takes less time to pump. These modern engines are also quiet in flight, so you'll rest easier or concentrate better with fewer distractions on quick trips.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be prepared to be delighted. Expect fresh interiors, comfortable seats and smooth sailing on a regional jet.
  • The bathroom is in the back. Select a seat nearby if access is an issue.
  • Stick to your assigned seat. Moving to an empty row can change the weight distribution on smaller jets.
  • Turbojets are prop-driven. Ask if the same route is served by regional jets.
