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?Kris
