Really? I have not flown on a small commerical
commuter jet that doesn't have a tiny overhead compartment....of course, all my
commuter flights are 1 hour flights from Boise to Palo Alto, CA (and a few to
Seattle), but it is a tiny jet and you have to stoop down to walk through
the walkway These are the smallest United jets I know of, so maybe
you've found yet another. What airline were you on?

The smallest commuter jets don't have overhead bins, as I
discovered a few trips back, and everything goes in the hold. I can't
remember the model of that plane, some Airbus thing I think. Finding the
specs for overhead bins for a given model of plane is tricky, particularly
since the airlines have zero interest in helping you.
For anything that
does have an overhead bin, I've found that my 38" long case for the Larrivee
parlor fits (24" scale), or a Steinberger GM (25.5" scale, 30.25" overall
length).

will they fit in the overhead of the smallest commuter jet? They don't
specify the total length of the guitar anywhere, unfortunately.
Althought with a 22.2"scale neck, and a bridge that is still a ways from the
bottom of the guitar, it can't be that small. My mini electric is a 500mm
scale (19.68" scale, 22 frets) and the bridge is only almost to the of the
bottom of the guitar. And still it is a 29 inch guitar.
