I work for a major airline and have quite a bit of experience with
RJ's. There is only so much room in the luggage compartment. I honestly can't recall seeing more than two bikes on any RJ I've ever worked. What will matter most is how full the aircraft is. One bicycle is pushing it if the Regional Jet is full. If you are traveling in a group that includes those three bicyclists you could easily eat up half the space on the pits when you include all your luggage, that's not going to leave much for the other passenger's bags. Generally this won't be much of a problem with larger aircraft, but the RJ is especially space sensitive. Not to mention weight sensitive. The RJ is the only plane I've flown in where, on several flights, people have been told to move from the front towards the rear of the plane, in order to better distribute weight. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
